Orbit of the Moon

Macdonald English 26 October 1015 The effect of moon phases on human behavior. The term “Lunar effect” refers to the connection between the moon phases and human behavior. The recorded statistics were recorded in correlation with the phases of the moon. Mainly focusing on abnormal behavior during the full moon. Violence during the full or close to the full moon. 11,613 cases of aggravated assault in a five year period happened more often around the time of the full moon. 34,318 crimes in a 1 year period occurred more frequently during the full moon. The rest of the major cases recorded had no relationship the the phases of the moon. This shows me that even though in some cases it might seem the full moon sparks negative behavior around 483,748 cases showed no relationship between the phases of the moon and aggressive behavior. These are statistics for anxiety, depression, and psychosis during the full moon.…

The orbit of Jupiter is elliptical instead of circular, like that of any other planet. At its closest approach, Jupiter comes within about 4.95 astronomical units of the Sun. As we already know, an astronomical unit (AU) is the average distance from the Earth to the Sun. At its most distant point, Jupiter is approximately 5.46 AU from the Sun. Jupiter’s semi-major axis, which is an average from the farthest distance from the sun and the closest distance from the sun, is about 5.2 AU. Jupiter is…

We all experience day and night and every night when the sun goes down, we have a different form of light. The moon orbits the Earth, like the Earth orbits the sun. The moon we see only orbits around Earth. As the moon orbits our planet, we see that the shape of the moon changes throughout each month. This is because the amount of light that the sun that illuminates the moon changes monthly. These are called the phases of the moon. The phases of the moon are the changes in amount of moon…

Saturn is a very cool planet it has rings around it that are little broke up pieces that are made of; small rocks, icy braked up bits, and some space junk. Saturn is also the sixth planet and it is not really far from the sun, Saturn also has sixty-two moons. Some planets have more than one or two moons some have none at all. They also call this planet a “Gas giant”. The other gas giants are Neptune, Uranus, and Jupiter are also gas giants. One of the moons named the “Cassini” accidentally went…

1. How is the Moon dependent on the Sun? The Moon is dependent on the Sun for its different lunar phases. Although these phases may not be essential to the existence of the Moon, they would not occur without the Sun. Neither a lunar nor a solar eclipses would be possible without the Sun, again. Also, although this is not a direct dependence upon the Sun, if the Sun did not give the Earth an object to orbit, the Moon may never have fallen into orbit with the Earth. 2. How are seasons created?…

comets, dwarf planets, and moons. The sun is located in the center of the universe and all of the other objects orbit around it. The sun only rotates about every 25-36 Earth days. The sun is the closest star and a heat source for almost all the planets. All of the planets orbit around the sun but all at different paces. For example, It takes Earth 365 days to orbit around the sun once. All of them also rotate, creating days. Some go faster and some go slower, saturn takes 10.7 hours to rotate…

Zoe Starr Mr. Eric Smith Astronomy H 22 May 2018 Jupiter and its Galilean Moons Jupiter, the fifth planet from our sun, is the most massive planet in our solar system, twice as massive as all the other planets comined. It is a gas giant planet and therefore lacks a earth like surface. Due to the giant atmosphere of gas, Jupiter rotates faster than any other planet. Jupiter’s day is only about ten hours long. Jupiter takes twelve Earth years to make one revolution around the sun so, one…

Moon exploration could be all but marveled until October 4, 1957, when the Soviet Union did the impossible and launched Sputnik 1 to orbit Earth, this was a huge success. Sputnik 1 was a small, nearly useless satellite, but it had started the Space Race, and one of the biggest leaps for humanity. We have been nearly oblivious to what has happened in the space race, including why the race to the moon became big and fast at that, what other smaller successes were, and what the Apollo program was…

going to the moon. When the Soviets heard about this, they were angered of the thought of a satellite. With the equipment to put objects in space, you could launch missiles to the other side of Earth and take out any country in sight. Instead of destroying everything and everyone you…

The solar nebular hypothesis describes the formation of our solar system from a nebula cloud made from a collection of dust and gas. It is believed that the sun, planets, moons, and asteroids were formed around the same time around 4.5 billion years ago from a nebula. 2. Planets move around the Sun in ellipses, with the Sun at one focus point. Earth seasons 1.A season is a division of the year, marked by changes in weather, ecology and hours of daylight. Seasons result from the yearly orbit…
