Time Telling Questions.
- You look up in the eastern sky and see a waning gibbous moon rising. What time is it?
- As a savvy astronomy student, you know that some times of month have no moonlight at 1 am, which would be a perfect time for someone to break in and burglarize your prize green gumball collection. Name two phases of the moon which should concern you regarding this matter.
- Archeologists discover a strange religion that requires adherents to point their arms at the moon at 6 pm. Where should they be pointing at a full moon, a third quarter moon, a new moon, or a first quarter moon?
- Why does the side of the moon that is illuminated change from the right side to the left side over a period of 2 weeks?
- You notice the full moon is about 30 degrees west from the zenith of the sky. Give me an approximate time.
