data
an event related to how the world and universe work
Phenomenon
any representation of a system , or its components to help one study and understand how it works
model
the imaginary line around which an object spins, or rotates . Earth rotates around an axis that runs straight through Earth from North Pole to South Pole
axis
The phase of the moon in which the lit portion of the moon visible from Earth’s surface is less than a half-circle Crescent moons occur right after and right before the new moon
Crescent Moon
an imaginary line circle that divides Earth into two halves the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere
equator
The phase of the moon , occurring about seven days after the new Moon , in which the lighted portion of the moon is visible from Earth’s surface is a half-circle .
First-quarter Moon
The phase of the moon that occurs about 14 days after the new moon in which the complete lighted portion of the moon is visible from Earth’s surface and appears as a full circle
Full moon
The phase of the moon that occurs about 7 days after the full moon in which the lighted portion of the moon that is visible from Earth’s surface in a half-circle
Last-quarter Moon
the revolution of the moon around Earth that produces the changing phases of the moon . one complete lunar cycle takes 29.5 days .
Lunar cycle
the phase of the moon occurring about 14 days after the full moon in which one of the lighted portion of the moon is visible from Earth’s surface
New Moon
a completed circle made by a planet around the sun or by a moon around the plant
Orbit / Revolution
Consistent with evidence
Plausible
to travel around another object in a circular or elliptical path
revolve
to turn or spin around an axis
Rotate / Rotation
the phases of the moon when the illuminated portion visible from Earth is decreasing
Waning
the phases of the moon when the illuminated portion visible from Earth is increasing
waxing
A region throughout which the same standard time is use
Time zone
one half of a sphere ( the half of Earth that is north of the equator is the Northern Hemisphere the half of earth that is south of the equator is the Southern Hemisphere
Hemisphere
A phase before or after it is full , when more than half of its disk is illuminated
Gibbous Moon
