How the phases of the moon occur?
The phases of the moon occur twice a month in other words there are two new moons every month. The shadow of the earth causes the moon to look like it is getting smaller or larger.
How do the seasons occur?
The earth is rotating around the sun. This is not related to the moon. The path that the earth takes is not a perfect circle and since the earth is not on a 90 degree axis the seasons change.
What causes a lunar eclipse?
When earth aligns in between the sun and the moon. It's shadow passes over the moon making it disappear for a few seconds.
I had seen this video before a year ago. I still got them all wrong. It is confusing but I guess I have had proper instruction in this but just chose not to accept it or keep forgetting it.
NOTES
Galileo heliocentric "sun center"
Church believe geocentric "earth center"
Receive more indirect sunlight when 23.5 degrees tilted away from the sun = winter
Opposite is summer
Tropic lines are the lines that are furthest north and south parts of the earth that receive direct sunlight
Equinox = equal amount of sunlight and darkness in a day
Earth always tilted to north star
