Ms. Morris made a model of the solar system in her classroom to do a demonstration with her students. The projector represented the sun, the students' heads represented the Earth, and the styrofoam ball represented the moon. How did this model best help us learn about the moon phases?

• We studied features of both the moon and Earth.

• We got information about the distance between the moon and Earth.

• We watched the moon in motion as it orbits Earth.

• We compared the sizes of the moon and Earth.
