The moon has multiple effects on Earth and Earth’s surface. The moon affects Earth by its gravitational pull and its revolution around the Earth. This gravitational force can affect many different aspects of Earth, and also has some myths about it. Some of these myths include: a full moon affects humans by causing tides in us; the moon doesn’t have gravity; and there is a permanent dark side of the moon.
There is a myth that the moon affects us by causing “tides” that interfere with our normal bodily functions and making us act strange. Tests have shown that on full moons, crimes and accidents occur more frequently than on new moons. There is one simple explanation to this: people think that on a full moon, they are supposed to act crazier, so they do. The moon doesn’t have more gravity on a full moon, or even affect the water in our bodies. Gravity on the moon isn’t stronger on a full moon anyways, it is just more illuminated but the Sun. The moon does have an effect on the Earth’s tides, but that is because the Earth and the moon are involved, and are

astronomical size. The Sun also has a small effect on the Earth’s tides. (Sessions) Another common misconception is that the moon doesn’t have gravity, and this is why the astronauts could jump and step so high.
Astronauts also felt a sense of weightlessness while on the moon, and this just added to the myth. The truth is that the moon DOES have gravity, but is is about ⅙ of Earth’s gravity. The moon has to have gravity, or there wouldn’t be tides. The moon also has an effect on stabilizing the Earth. Earth wobbles as it rotates, but having the moon close by stabilizes it, making the wobble a lot less. Without the moon, Earth would wobble much more, which could have an effect on us and all life on Earth. (Jakobsen) Everything that has mass has gravity. There really is no such thing as “zero gravity”, although there is a such thing as microgravity. This is the floating people experience in space. They are experiencing gravity, but it is too low to have an effect on
them. The moon is commonly said to have a “dark side”: a permanently dark half of the moon that we can’t see from Earth. The myth here is that the moon is only 50% visible and the non-visible side is always dark. This is untrue. In truth, humans can see up to 59% of the moon, and only 41% of the “dark side” is visible. The moon isn’t always dark on the non-visible side, it works just like the visible side. This affects the earth because the moon can intercept the Sun’s rays and cause a Solar Eclipse. Solar Eclipses can cause different wind patterns, and complete darkness for up to 7 minutes 31 seconds, (Rao) although usually much shorter. With this time, people may panic, and think the world is ending. The moon has a major effect on the Earth and its inhabitants, although some of these effects are myths. The moon causes tides on Earth, but not in humans. The moon’s gravity helps stabilize the Earth, and causes the tides.
On average a given spot will experience two high tide and two low tides in a day. The tides are experienced due to the moon gravitational pull. The low tides are experienced when we are facing 90 and 180 degrees away from the moon. Then the high tides are found when we are facing the moon and when we are facing away from the moon.
Good morning/ Afternoon Teacher I am Rachel Perkins And I was asked by The Australian Film Institute to be here to today to talk about my musical. My musical One Night The Moon which was the winner of the Australian Film Institute Award for Best Cinematography in a Non-Feature Film in 2001. I am also here to talk about how distinctive voices are used to show the experiences of others. The voices of Albert and Jim are two characters that give us two different perspectives this is due to their views. Albert one of the characters in my film is an Aboriginal character played by Kenton Pell who is hired by the police as a tracker. Albert is a very deeply spiritual person this gave him a spiritual voice throughout the play but when he get 's kick off the land and banned from the search the gets frustrated which gave him this really emotional voice. This event has a greater meaning which I will elaborate on later and now Onto Jim. Jim is your 1930s white Australian that owns a farm and is going through tough times because of the Great depression. Jim does not allow Albert to find his daughter, This is due to his racist and prejudiced views of black Australians. Jim has an authorial voice because he see’s himself as inferior. Near to the end of
Rachel Perkins hybrid musical drama One Night the Moon set in the 1930’s Australian outback and Malala Yousafzai’s ‘speech to the UN’ in 2013 were composed to raise awareness and reveal truths of multiple perspectives, representing the voice of the unheard and disempowered in juxtaposition to the dominant and powerful. Both Perkins and Yousafzai challenge societal expectations of their context, advocating for all voices to be heard and for the potential unity between cultures and races through education and shifts in paradigm.
I was born with an inherent fascination for all things celestial. Ever since I was young, I have been staring at the night sky trying to find constellations, or using my juvenile imagination to create my own. My efforts to find, view, and mentally catalogue everything the heavenly bodies have to offer has led me to employ some over-the-top measures, but the most extreme of them all might be the night I stayed awake through the wee hours of the morning to catch a glimpse of a meteor shower. Over the course of an entire year, the memory of this stupefying event is still as lucent and vivid as it was that very night so long ago.
The movie “October Sky” is basically about a high school student Homer Hickam and three of his friends inventing a rocket which can actually fly for a long distance. Homer and his friends named each other the rocket boy. Homer Hickam talks about how the rocket boys got inspired, what problems they faced and how they were able to prove themselves innocent.
The story begins in the Middle Kingdom which is what the Chinese people call China. Moon Shadow is afraid of the demons, which is what they call Americans. Moon Shadow is afraid of demons because his mother told him about how the demons lynched his grandfather. Moon Shadow’s mother doesn’t like to answer his questions about America. The Tang people refer America as the Land of the Golden Mountain. Moon Shadow has never met his father and the people in the village call him a maker of marvelous kites. Moon Shadow gets to finally go to America because his cousin, Hand Clap brought a letter from his father. Hand Clap tells Moon Shadow about the demons and how mean they are. Moon Shadow arrives in America and he arrives in the Company building.
Before reading What the Moon Saw by Laura Resau, I would of described an immigrant as someone who came from a different country to the United States for employment, freedom, education, or in hopes of achieving the “American Dream.” To begin with, I believed that immigrants came to America from many parts of the world and shared physical features and fashion choices that are native to their nationality. Additionally, their health and fitness depends on the situation that they come from and the conditions they face during transportation to the United States. Similarly, the type of religion that they practice varies greatly on their beliefs and the place where they come from. The type of work that immigrants preform before they come to America
Another symbol is the one of the fortnight. A fortnight is 14 days, or half a moon cycle. The full moon can be seen as another symbol for the unconcious mind or even the dark side in us all. Whereas a new moon represents the concious or good side in us all.
...fter the new moon, the sunlit portion increases, but less than a half, so it is waxing crescent (Hisle Parker 49). After the first quarter the sunlit portion increases, but is larger than a half so therefor it is waxing gibbous. After the full moon light decreases more, the waxing gibbous becomes a waning gibbous (Murrary 161). Following the third quarter is the waning crescent, which stays until the light is completely gone then it becomes a new moon (Lawler 2018).
“That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” was stated by Neil Armstrong once a national goal was accomplished. Landing successfully on the moon was a major goal for astronauts of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin were honored to be the very first of mankind to step foot on the moon, and allowed America to set future goals for outer-space journeys. With the assigned Apollo mission, America was granted much needed hope. Astronauts of NASA in the Apollo Program accomplished John F. Kennedy’s goal of placing the first man on the moon safely for the United States.
In the beginning of the creation of Earth volcanoes erupted all over the planet. During this period there was a time where a brief cooling period was allowed to take place. When this period took place evaporation caused a downpour of rain which flooded the ocean creating the ocean. At the time that ocean was averaged at 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Around this same time an asteroid so powerful hit the Earth knocking off a large chunk of it. This chunk became the moon which at the time was twice as close as it is today. The hitting of the planet Earth cause such a shake that many new undersea volcanoes began spewing forth molten rock and gasses. These gasses and other particles formed on the oceans surface and with the moon being so close were smashed together by strong and violent waves.
Upon its first mention the moon is used as a marker for the passage of time. In the opening lines of the play Theseus, the duke of Athens, laments to his fiancée Hippolyta that time is passing too slow and blames this on the moon:
Lack of sleep can and will affect the way any human lives their normal life in the worst ways imaginable. Without the right amount of sleep for the brain, the mind will get confused and even get achy. The correct and necessary amount of sleep can prevent things like brain damage, and even heart issues, but without the right amount of sleep, things are bound to come in the near future and hurt the life of any human. Lack of sleep will affect any human life, man, women, and child, in horrible and tremendous ways that will hurt the mind and body of that person.
Three of the more obvious effects of gravity are things falling. down, weight, and the the moon and planets staying in their orbits. Things fall down. People have generally grown to accept that if one lets go of one prized and valuable textbook when walking through a mud puddle, the book will. invariably end up in the puddle and therefore be stripped of all value and even legibility. Things fall down because there is a strong gravitational attraction between things of great mass, like the Earth, and things of little mass, like a book.
The gravitational forces between the Earth and the moon cause some interesting effects; tides are the most obvious. The moon has no atmosphere, but there is evidence by the United States Department of Defense Clementine spacecraft shows that there maybe water ice in some deep craters near the moon's North and South Pole that are permanently shaded. Most of the moon's surface is covered with regolith, which is a mixture of fine dust and rocky debris produced by meteor impact. There are two types of terrain on the moon. One is the heavily cratered and very old highlands. The other is the relatively smooth and younger craters that were flooded with molten lava.
