The sun and earth's location causes the phases the moon. For the new moon the sun has to be facing the moon but the Earth is facing the back or the dark side of the moon. To get the half moon the Moon has to be in the center of the separation between the lit side of the earth and the dark side. The sun is facing the earth and the moon the same way, the moon is just at the bottom. To get the full moon the fully lit side of the moon is facing the Earth.
 * 1) View the top diagram above. Compare the relative positions of the earth, moon and sun to explain the differences between new moon, half moon and full moon phases.

View the example of the tide chart for the Gandy Bridge for a day. 2015 Tide Chart for Gandy Bridge The tides alternate from low to high tide during a 24 hour period because of the turn of the earth. At the start ( dependent on where on the earth you are located ) will be a low tide. Since the Earth turns, in a couple of hours the gravitational pull from the moon will increase and the coefficient will increase. Throughout the day the tides change twice because of the turn of the Earth. The northern pole of earth, when the tide is high is called a sub lunar tide. And on the southern part of the earth it is called an antipodal tide which is samller than the sublunar but still considered high tide. The distance between the earth and moons gravity causes the tides. It also is determined by which phase the moon is in. The increase of the gravity for example, the full moon is where the poles of the moon are being attracted to face toward us and the sunlight is facing the moon. On the lowest coefficient ( being 41 ) on October 5th is the lowest tide of the month. The phase of the moon on October 5th was the last quarter moon. On October 1st the moon coefficient was 89 which was the first of the month. The phase of the moon for this date is a waning gibeous. On October 10th the tide coefficient was 77 and the phase was waning crescent. On the 20th of October, the tide coefficient was the second lowest and the phase was the first quarter. The highest tide will be on the 26th of October with the tide coefficient of 110 and the phase of this moon is a full moon.
 * 1) Using the positions of the moon relative to a location on earth, explain why the tides alternate from low to high during a 24 hour period and why there are usually 2 high tides alternating with low tides each day.
 * 1) Use the data from Gandy Bridge TidesTampa Bay Tides to create a spreadsheet in Open Office with the coefficient of the tides for the days in the month of October, 2015. Thencreate a line graph of the data. Indicate that the first row and first columns are labels. Be sure to label the X and Y axis, and to provide a title. Be sure to include units. (Note: On the Tide Tables there are tidal coefficients which tell us the amplitude of the tide forecast (difference in height between the consecutive high tides and low tides in any given area). The highest possible tidal coefficient is 118, corresponding to the greatest high or low tide there can be, excluding meteorological effects. Tidal coefficients are calculated from the following parameters or from the sun and the moon: straight ascension, declination, parallax and the distance between the Earth and the celestial body.)
 * 2) Save the Tide Height spreadsheet as 8 last name initial tide. Save it as an html document. Saving it as an html will convert the chart to a jpeg. Copy the spreadsheet data and paste it on your TideMoon page. Then Upload the jpeg of the chart to your page.
 * 3) View the Moon Phases October 2015 on the same Gandy Bridge Tides . Find the moon phases for the high coefficients and low coefficients on the graph. Provide an explanation for the pattern of high coefficient of tides alternating with the low coefficient of tides during the month based on the relative position of the earth, moon and sun.

From the photos, the surface of the moon looks very uneven. It seems smooth and with hills. You can specifically determine the craters and areas where the moon has been affected and dented. Also you could be limited to the lighted areas because half of the moon does not receive any sunlight. For the first image of the moon and Earth, the earth appears to be a crescent from the moons point of view. Therefore the moon views the small area of the earth that's lit. The moon phase was in the gibbous phase because the excess light from the sun was hitting the moon. In the second image, the moon is half lit, so the phase of the moon is either the first or third quarter. Only half of the earth is lit which makes the excess sunlight to hit the sun. In the third image, the earth is either a waning or waxing or gibbous. The moon views the majority of the earths lit side, the moon would then be the phase of either the waning or waxing crescent. I have discovered that what ever phase the moon is in, the earth is in the "opposite phase". The dark areas of the moon is the amount of light the earth has. The moon views the earth's phases as well.
 * 1) View the photos. Write a paragraph summary of the surface of the moon from what you see in the photos.
 * 1) View the 3 images below. Explain for each image, the relative position of the sun, moon and earth that would result in the phase of the earth as seen in each of the photos. For each picture indicate what the corresponding phase of the moon would be when viewed from earth on the same day each of the photos of the earth was taken.

The distance between the earth and moons gravity causes the tides. It also is determined by which phase the moon is in. The increase of the gravity for example, the full moon is where the poles of the moon are being attracted to face toward us and the sunlight is facing the moon. On the lowest coefficient ( being 41 ) on October 5th is the lowest tide of the month. The phase of the moon on October 5th was the last quarter moon. On october 1st the moon coefficient was 89 which was the first of the month. On October 10th the tide coefficient was 77. On the 20th of October, the tide coefficient was the second lowest. The highest tide will be on the 26th of October with the tide coefficient of 110.
