Earth’s Moon and Solar System Test Prep An observer on Earth determines that the apparent diameter of the Moon as viewed from Earth varies in a cyclic manner. The best explanation for this observation is that the 1 Moon is rotating 2 Moon’s orbit is elliptical 3 atmospheric transparency of the Moon changes 4 distance If the distance between the Moon and Earth were double its present distance, the Moon’s cycle of phases would occur 1 in reverse order and more slowly 2 in reverse order and more quickly 3 in the same order but more slowly 4 in the same order but more quickly Base your answers to the following 5 questions on the diagram below, which represents the Moon orbiting Earth as viewed from space above the North Pole. The Moon is shown at eight different positions in its orbit. The approximate time required for the Moon to move from position 3 to position 7 is (1) 1 hour (2) 2 weeks (3) 3 months (4) 4 days As the Moon changes location from position 2 to position 6, the visible portion of the Moon as observed from Earth 1 decreases, only 2 increases, only 3 decreases, then increases 4 increases, then decreases Which motion causes the Moon to show phases when viewed from Earth? 1 rotation of Earth 2 rotation of the Sun 3 revolution of Earth 4 revolution of the Moon Which device when placed on the Moon would provide evidence of Moon rotation? 1 Foucault pendulum 2 seismograph 3 thermometer 4 wind vane When the Moon is in position 2, which phase would be visible to an observer in New York State? Base your answers to the following 2 questions using the Earth Science Reference Tables, the map below, and your knowledge of Earth science. Letters A through F are locations on Earth’s surface. An observer at location C sees a full Moon at its highest point in the sky. When the observation is being made at location C, at which other location would it be impossible for a second observer also to see the full Moon? (1) A (2) B
