The Moon’s Orbit
The Earth exerts tidal forces on the moon’s rocky interior.
→ It is rotating with the same period around its axis as it is orbiting Earth (tidally locked).
→ We always see the same side of the moon facing Earth.

Moon’s Orbit: 12% variation over one
lap!
Perigee: closest to Earth
Apogee: farthest from Earth

The Moon’s Orbit
Moon’s orbit about Earth is not perfectly circular. The consequence is that the Moon gets slightly larger and smaller in the sky. The change is only about 12%!
![Page 19: Announcements: Assignment for Monday: read chapter 4 of text No quiz on Monday. However, we will start class with two very simple questions from Chapter](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649ddd5503460f94ad5c66/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Inclination of Moon’s Orbit
Inclination of orbital plane relative to the ecliptic is 5.14 degrees. = ~10 moon diameters

Lunar Eclipses
Earth casts its shadow out into space as it orbits the Sun. The Moon is eclipsed when it passes in the Earth’s shadow. Earth’s shadow is larger than Moon.
![Page 21: Announcements: Assignment for Monday: read chapter 4 of text No quiz on Monday. However, we will start class with two very simple questions from Chapter](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649ddd5503460f94ad5c66/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Lunar Eclipses
A total lunar eclipse can last
up to 1 hour and 40 min.
During a total eclipse, the moon has a
faint, red glow, reflecting sun light scattered
in Earth’s atmosphere.

How Often Do They Occur
•Moon’s orbit “precesses” (wobbles) so that the node moves Eastward about 20 degrees per year
•Sun crosses node about every 173 days
•When Sun is near the node, it is “eclipse season” and solar and lunar eclipse occur two weeks apart
•About two node crossings per year

Ecliptic and Moon’s Orbit Offset by 5
35 days for possible overlap. (It takes the Sun 35 days to travel this far
across the sky Only about 3 days for Moon to cover the same angle.)

It is much more probable that you will see a Lunar eclipse only because significantly more people on Earth can see it at the same time.
Lunar eclipses are not more frequent than solar eclipses.
Frequency of Lunar vs. Solar Eclipses
![Page 38: Announcements: Assignment for Monday: read chapter 4 of text No quiz on Monday. However, we will start class with two very simple questions from Chapter](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649ddd5503460f94ad5c66/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
We can see total solar eclipses because:
1. the linear diameters of the sun and the moon are almost equal.
2. the distances to the sun and the moon are about the same.
3. the angular diameters of the sun and the moon are almost equal.
4. total solar eclipses would be visible on any planet with a moon.
5. the moon always shows the same face to the Earth.

Observing a Solar Eclipse
A total lunar eclipse lasts much longer than a total solar eclipse. Why?
