This is the first time blogging since we were away. We have done so many new things!We are in astronamy now and learning about the moon. There are eight diffrent shapes of the moon. The first is called a full moon then its waning gibbous then third quarter then comes the waning cresent and then the new moon then waxing cresent then first quarter then waxing gibbous. And each one has its own shape and its all because of the sun and the earth. They both are two very important things in this prosess. It takes about 28 days and 11 hours fot a whole cycle. The moon moves counterclockwise and so does the earth. This is very important info. And a note is that you can NOT see a full moon during the day time. The earth, moon, and sun all move the moon revolves around the earth and th earth just rotates and the sun also revolves like the moon.
