About 14 days
About 28 days
About 138 days***
About 365 days
13. When are tides in earth’s oceans highest?
During the moon’s waning gibbous phase
During the moon’s waxing gibbous phase
When the moon is at a right angle to the sun***
When the sun, Earth, and moon are in line
14. Under which of the following circumstances do neap tides occur?
During the new moon
When the sun’s pill is in the same direction as the moon’s pull
When the sun’s pull is at a right angle to the moon’s pull
During the full moon phase***
18. True/false
Tides are caused by the force of inertia from the sun and moon acting on earth.
True
False***
19. Which of the following statements is true as the moon goes from new moon to full moon phase? Choose all the apply (2points)
We see more of the lighter side of the moon***
We see less of the lighter side of the moon
The time it takes to go from new moon to full moon is 2 weeks***
The time it takes to go from the new moon to full moon is 4 weeks
Thanks ;)
i think #10 is “because the moon rotates once on its axis in the same time that it takes to revolve around earth” because the moon, does in fact, rotate
also, #4 is 14 days.
Sure, I'll help you out with these questions!
Question 8: Which of the following motions causes day and night?
The correct answer is Earth's rotation on its axis. This is because as the Earth rotates, different parts of it are either facing towards the Sun (causing daylight) or facing away from the Sun (causing night).
Question 10: Why can you never see the far side of the moon from Earth?
The correct answer is because the moon does not rotate on its axis. This means that the same side of the moon always faces Earth, so we can never see the far side.
Question 11: During what phase of the moon can a lunar eclipse occur?
The correct answer is the full moon. A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. This can only occur during the full moon phase when the Earth is directly between the Sun and the Moon.
Question 12: Which of the following is the smallest conceivable amount of time that could pass between a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse?
The correct answer is about 138 days. This is because a lunar eclipse can only occur during a full moon, and a solar eclipse can only occur during a new moon. The time it takes for the Moon to go from a full moon phase to a new moon phase and back to a full moon phase is approximately 29.5 days, so 138 days is the smallest possible time interval.
Question 13: When are tides in Earth’s oceans highest?
The correct answer is when the moon is at a right angle to the sun. Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun on the Earth's oceans. When the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun are exerted at a right angle to each other, they create higher tides.
Question 14: Under which of the following circumstances do neap tides occur?
The correct answer is during the first and third quarter moon phases. Neap tides occur when the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun are at right angles to each other. This happens during the first and third quarter moon phases, when the Moon and Sun are separated by 90 degrees in the sky.
Question 18: True/false - Tides are caused by the force of inertia from the sun and moon acting on Earth.
The correct answer is false. Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun on the Earth's oceans. While inertia does play a role in the movement of the tides, it is not the primary cause.
Question 19: Which of the following statements is true as the moon goes from new moon to full moon phase?
The correct answers are:
- We see more of the lighter side of the moon. As the moon goes from the new moon to the full moon phase, the illuminated portion of the moon that we can see from Earth grows larger.
- The time it takes to go from new moon to full moon is 2 weeks. The lunar cycle, from one new moon to the next new moon, takes approximately 29.5 days, which is about 2 weeks.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
