The Moon. We see it almost every night in the sky-but how much do we know about it? And why does it constantly change appearance? This incredible Miniclip animates all the phases of the Moon, including waxing, waning, full moon, and new moon, as well as gibbous, quarter, and crescent. Students will also discover that the Moon reflects light instead of generating it, and that it orbits around Earth as our only natural satellite!
