 * 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.

> 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.
 * The location of the moon and the sun determine which phase the moon is at. For the new moon, the moon appears to be completely dark. The sun is facing the opposite direction and the earth is facing the dark side. Therefore, we see a dark moon. For the half moon, the moon is at a 90 degree angle with respect to the earth and sun. We see half of the moon lit, and half in shadow. For the full moon, the hemisphere that is facing the moon is almost completely illuminated by the sun and appears round. Lunar eclipses can only happen while the moon is at a full moon phase.

 * The tides alternate from low to high because of the alignment of the sun and moon. there are 2 tides everyday when the moon is directly overhead, which we experience twice every 24 hours. The moon is only directly overhead once every 24 hours in the same spot. They are on the opposite sides of earth, so when the earth turns, it creates high tide number 1.
 * 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. Then**create 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.

The new moon is caused by the gravity between the moon and the earth.The earth's tilt on its axis makes parts of the moon illuminated and different parts dark. These are called the phases of the moon. The moon and sun have the same elliptical longitude, causing a new moon. When it is illuminated by moonshine, the moon appears differently, causing it to change phases.

10/01/15 = coefficient of 89. Moon phase was Waning Gibbous 10/05/15 = coefficient of 41. Moon phase was Last Quarter. 10/07/15 = coefficient of 52. Moon phase was Waning Crescent. 10/13/15 = coefficient of 86. Moon phase was New moon. 10/19/15 = coefficient of 49. Moon phase was First Quarter.

 * 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.

In the first image, the earth appears to be at a crescent phase from the moon's point of view.
