Why does the moon appear to shine?

because it reflects light from earth

because it reflects light from the constellations

We see different constellations in the summer than we do in winter because...

the night time sky points in different directions in space

it's hotter in the summer than in the winter

it's too bright in the summer to see constellations

we see the same constellations all year

How can you tell if an object in the night sky is a star or a planet?

If it moves across the sky, it's probably a planet.

If it's really bright, it's probably a star.

If it's big, it's probably a star.

If it's blue, it's probably a planet.

The moon changes shape during the month because...

Shadows and sunlight cover different amounts of the moon's surface as it orbits earth.

different parts of the moon light up at different times.

the constellations shine on the moon at different angles during the month.

the moon is spinning so the sun shines on different parts.

Shadows appear longer in the winter season because...

the angle of the sun in the sky is lowest in the winter.

the sun is brighter in the winter.

the earth is not tilted in the winter.

the sun's angle is the same as it is in the summer.
