58Phases of moon
59The New Moon occurs when the moon is between the
Earth and the Sun and when the lit-up part is
facing away from us. The full moon occurs when
the moon is on the opposite side of the earth
from the Sun. The moon is at a 5.2 tilt making
the near side light-up.

rotation? - What happens to the ¼ day at the end of each
year? - What is in the center of our solar system?
61X) What keeps the planets and moon from flying
