A simple model• Moon executes circular orbit
• Moon orbit is in Earth’s ecliptic plane
![Page 29: Lecture 4 ASTR 111 – Section 002. Terms Apogee/Perigee Subtend Parsec, light-year, AU Parallax Solar and Sidereal time Small angle formula Ecliptic Zenith](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061307/56649e415503460f94b33f42/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Model can explain the phases of the Moon
• The phases of the Moon occur because light from the Moon is actually reflected sunlight
• As the relative positions of the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun change, we see more or less of the illuminated half of the Moon.

The Moon’s rotation always keeps the same face toward the Earth due to synchronous rotation

• Two types of months are used in describing the motion of the Moon.
• With respect to the stars, the Moon completes one orbit around the Earth in a sidereal month, averaging 27.32 days.
• The Moon completes one cycle of phases (one orbit around the Earth with respect to the Sun) in a synodic month, averaging 29.53 days.
