Moon Phases Part 2 Quiz

Moon Phases Part 2 Quiz explores the subtle mysteries of our closest celestial neighbour. One interesting fact is that the Moon’s orbit is slightly tilted compared to Earth’s orbit, which is why we do not witness a solar eclipse every month. This small tilt means that the alignment of the Sun, Moon, and Earth has to be just right for eclipses to occur. Ancient astronomers noticed the lunar tilt while tracking the Moon’s path and built early calendars around these careful observations. The Moon’s steady rotation and its terminator line dividing light from dark have fascinated people for centuries. This quiz gives a chance to enjoy such lunar trivia while testing your knowledge in a relaxed, engaging way.
