The Earth must be between the Sun and Moon with all three bodies lying on different planes of orbit

The Moon must be between Earth and the Sun with all three bodies lying on different planes of orbit.

The Earth must be between the Sun and Moon with all three bodies lying on the same plane of orbit.

The Moon must be between Earth and the Sun with all three bodies lying on the same planes of orbit.

If the Sun is low in the sky, the Northern Hemisphere will experience temperatures warmer than normal.

The seasons in the Northern Hemisphere are not related to the change in the angle of the Sun.

If the angle of the Sun goes below 34°, winter will be experienced in the Northern Hemisphere.

The closer the angle of the Sun is to 90°, the cooler the Northern Hemisphere will be.

October 10 and October 3 produced neap tides.

The tides on October 10 were weaker than the tides on October 3.

The tides on October 10 were stronger than the tides on October 3

October 10 and October 3 produced spring tides.

Pulling force of other planets

Point B is at a lower elevation than that of point A, so it has less atmosphere to absorb sunlight.

Point B is located in the Southern Hemisphere, so the tilt of Earth's axis causes it to receive less sunlight than point A.

Point B is located in an area where ocean and atmospheric currents tend to circulate heat away from it

Point B is closer to a pole than point A, so it is always farther from the Sun

The model shows a lunar eclipse because the Moon appears to be dark from the part of Earth under the shadow.

This model represents a lunar eclipse because the Sun, the Moon, and Earth are aligned with the Moon at the center.

The model shows a solar eclipse because the Sun casts a shadow on the Moon.

The model shows a solar eclipse because the position of the Moon is between the Sun and Earth.

Replace the moons with larger circles to show the size of the moon.

Begin the phases with the full moon to show how the phases begin.

Add a model of the Earth to show that the moon reflects the sun's light.

Arrange the moons in a circle to show that the phases occur as a cycle.
