Moon and Sun

If Suki looks for the Moon again in one month, what will he see?

• Suki will see a crescent moon again, like Diagram A.

• Suki will see a quarter moon, like Diagram B.

• Suki could see either a crescent or a quarter moon; it depends on the time of year.

• There’s no way to tell because the Moon’s pattern is always changing.

The diagram above shows Earth and the Moon from above (top view). Why is there a dotted circle drawn in this diagram?

• To show that the Moon is always moving around Earth in a circle.

• To show the locations of satellites that are in Earth’s atmosphere.

• To show the way that the Moon can move back and forth across Earth’s sky.

• To show the locations where the sun’s light can reach the Moon.

How does light travel?

• Light travels in straight lines only.

• Light travels like a river, wherever there is an open path.

• Light travels in unpredictable ways.

• It depends; if the light is bright enough it can change direction.
