Click the flag Drag the sun, moon, and Earth around The centering is a bit off, though... The moon phases detector algorithm was too complex, so I just took it out... Science teacher, you know it's me because: 1) I was inspired by the interactives you posted on GC 2) I feel very organized today :) Science teacher, please read the fun facts so you know I've been studying. FUN FACTS: The moon takes about a month to rotate AND revolve around Earth. Half of the moon is always lit. We have never seen and will never see the "dark" (or far) side of the moon. The moon's revolution around Earth is tilted, and that's why we don't have eclipses every month. The moon revolves counterclockwise around Earth The moon phases are these repeating: New moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last/third quarter, waning crescent, and then new moon again. Tides are caused by A. Mostly the moon's gravity. B. Partly the sun's gravity.
