Effect of the Lunar Phase on Events of the Earth

The experiment was performed on February 2nd 2016 at the University of Calgary in a Biological Science laboratory. The experimental procedure was done in a group of four students.

In the full moon phase the side of the moon that can be observed from earth becomes illuminated by the sun n its entirety. Lastly, the aforementioned illuminated portion begins to shrink or wane and thus the moon is considered to be in the waning gibbous phase, meaning that the illuminated portion is constricts in size or diameter every day.

In an article published in the British Medical Journal Volume 289, C Thakur made the hypothesis that "human tidal waves" cause increases in crime rates due to the gravitational pull of the full moon. I feel that the evidence for this theory is decidedly inconclusive, and should therefore not be taken seriously. Thakur calculated that incidences of aggressive behavior spiked in the three cities which he surveyed around the time of the full moon. He then goes on to conclude that humans are unaware of the effect the moon has on our bodies that have high water content. However it is entirely possible that the pleasant weather could have encouraged more people to leave their home, and the higher visibility could have emboldened them. Ultimately,

Is there a dark side of the moon? (Note: this question can be effectively answered either yes or no, so it is important to explain your reasoning.) Some people refer to the side of the moon that we never see from Earth as the dark side. However, this is inaccurate since the far side is not always dark. For example, during the new moon, when the side facing Earth is completely dark, the other side of the moon is facing the sun, so it is in full sunlight. Since the Moon rotates at the same time it takes to orbit Earth, both sides of the

between light and shadow) from the north pole to the south pole of the moon. This is how the moon would be seen if it were on the observer’s meridian. We can use the drawing above to determine the amount of illumination and whether it is on the left or right hand side of the moon. Use the drawing above to draw the appearance of the moon in the box below.

17. The moon changes its phase because it orbits the earth, and half the moon always faces the sun, the other half is always dark, we just see the combination of the two.

The Moon is numbered card 18 in a tarot deck and can be found following the hopes and wishes of the Star card. It signifies the instincts and intuitions, as well as hunches, feelings, and dreams. There is an unspoken feeling that the Moon also represents the female principle, which is ruled by the moon due to its cyclical nature. There is psychism here as well due to the moon being able to see all things. Things that are hidden from the waking world and the light are shown here, and the unknown is represented in the Moon as well as our animal instincts that is kept hidden during the day and from other

The moon is a giant ball of rock in our sky. The moon came to be where it is now when a giant, mars sized “proto plantet” as such, smashed into earth sending tons of molten rock flying into space and slowly the moon began to form from that rock. The moon affects our planet in many ways. It affects the oceans tides by pulling water toward where ever it is. Also it has an effect on how long each day is because it slows down the earths spinning by orbiting in the opposite direction. If the moon moon were only 10% further away from earth than it is today the earth would wobble and we would be totally out of place. If the moon was closer to earth, and it depends how much closer, but if it was about 20 times closer the earth would spin much slower

To maintain Earth’s magnetic field the Moon is going to play a major role. It is to be believed that four billion years ago the earth was molten that has slowly closed from 6800ºC to 3800ºC now. The Earth has a bit of a flattened shape and rotates on an axis around the poles; and the mantle slowly deforms elasticity because of the tidal effect caused by the Moon. Because of this it could stimulate the motion of liquid alloy in the outer core generating Earth’s magnetic

A Lunar calendar is based upon the different cycles of the Moon, as compared to the Gregorian calendar, solar calendar, which is based upon the movement of the Earth around the sun. Lunar Calendars have been in use since antiquity. Archaeologists have discovered lunar calendars that date back 32,000 years. These calendars were found on reindeer bones and mammoth tusks which recorded the cycles with notches and gouged holes.
