Term 3 WW2 and AU2 Review

WW2 and AU2: A Review

Multiple Choice

How will you describe the Earth and the Moon's orbit?

• The Earth's orbit demonstrates an inclination in reference to the Moon's orbit.

• The Earth and Moon's orbit may coincide at one point.

• The Moon's orbit demonstrates a wobbling effect while the Earth's orbit does not.

• The Earth and the Moon's orbit are lying on ecliptic plane.

Multiple Select

Which is true about the movement of the moon in relation to our planet?

• The lunar orbital plane does not coincide with the Earth's orbital plane.

• The lunar orbit is approximately 5 degrees with respect to the Earth's orbital plane.

• The Earth is tidally locked to the moon due to its gravitational pull.

• None of the above

Multiple Choice

Which best explains why only one side of the moon can be observed?

• The Sun's gravitational force is causing the Moon to rotate synchronously with the planet.

• The Moon is tidally locked to the planet causing its rotational period to be the same to the Earth's orbital period.

• The Earth's gravitational force is controlling the moon's rotation making it in sync with the Earth's motion.

• The Earth and the Moon's rotation are both controlled by the Sun's gravity causing their movement to be in sync.

Draw

Draw the four basic shapes of the moon along with its labels.

Multiple Choice

When will a Waning Crescent appear?

• Sometime in between the occurrence of Last Quarter and New Moon

• Sometime in between the occurrence of Last Quarter and Waning Gibbous

• Sometime in between the occurrence of Waxing Gibbous and Full Moon

• Sometime in between the Waning Gibbous and New Moon

Multiple Choice

Which condition will allow the occurrence total lunar eclipse?

• When the Sun, Earth, and a quarter of the Moon is perfectly aligned.

• When the Sun, Earth, and Moon are partially aligned.

• When the Sun, Earth, and Moon are perfectly aligned.

• When the Sun, Earth, and Moon are imperfectly aligned.

Match

Match the following:

• It occurs when the Moon only partially obscures the Sun's disk and casts only its penumbra on Earth.

• It take place when the Moon's disk is not big enough to cover the entire disk of the Sun, and the Sun's outer edges remain visible to form a ring of fire in the sky.

• It happens when the Moon completely covers the Sun, and it can only take place when the Moon is near perigee, the point of the Moon's orbit closest to Earth.

• It also known as annular-total eclipses, are the rarest type. They occur when the same eclipse changes from an annular to a total solar eclipse, and/or vice versa, along the eclipse's path.
