Question

  1. identify the direction and the movement of the moons orbit & rotation, and be able to identify the difference between rotation and revolution (hint: discussed through a science probe journal) 0. be able to identify the correct moon phase when given a situation.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Rotation of the moon is its spinning on its own axis, while revolution is its movement around the Earth in an orbit. The moon's rotation period is the same as its revolution period, which is why we always see the same side of the moon from Earth. Moon - phases are determined by the relative positions of the Earth, moon, and sun during the moon's revolution.

Answer:

The moon rotates on its axis and revolves around the Earth. Moon - phases depend on the moon's position in its orbit around the Earth relative to the sun.
