ü What are the relative positions of the Earth and Moon to the Sun during phases and eclipses? Illustrate the position relationships
ü What are the following: orbits, revolutions, rotations, time zones, and precession? Illustrate them and/or use tables.
ü What are the gravitational influences between the Earth and the Moon? Where does the moon come from? Illustrate them.
