You will read about the sun’s yearly cycle and the moon’s monthly cycles.Your job is to observe and document the position of these two celestial objects in the sky by taking photos of them and collating these in a Word document.
First the sun: It rises and sets at different times each day, but does it do this at the same place on the horizon each evening?
To check this out, take a photo of the sun as it is setting ( or rising) in order to record its location on your horizon. Download this photo unto a Word document. Do this several times a week always from the same spot on earth. For example if you can see the sun setting from your back porch, always take your photos from that same place, and while it starts crossing the horizon. Make sure to record the time of day and the date. You need at least six shots. Collate all these pictures, including the time and date taken, into a report with your description of what it happening over time.
Do these observations help you understand the sun’s role in how the seasons change? Explain.
For the moon, the question is, how long does it take for it to go through a complete set of phases?
To find this out, take a photo of it in the evening or early morning, when the sky is not so bright. Make sure you record the time and date of each shot. Do this for a week
Also, go out at night and observe if the moon is near bright stars or planets. For help in identifying what these celestial objects are, go the the Sky and Telescope website. Some bright objects that the moon goes by are the sun, Venus, Mars and Jupiter.
Collate these photos into a report and describe what is happening to the moon’s appearance as a full month goes by. You need at least six shots. How many days does it take for the moon to start repeating its phases?
Conclusion:
From these observations, what can you conclude about the moon’s cycles?
