Project description
Astronomy Lab. I uploaded word file that has Data Table. Please answer the all questions and show me some work next to the table how did you get it cause I need

to learn

POST LAB QUESTIONS:

1. For each of the following phases, estimate and write down the date or range of dates that the moon is in the given phase (for example, in October 2014, the

moon is in its waxing gibbous phases from October 2nd at 00:00:00 [59.3%illuminated] through October 7th at 12:00:00 [99.2% illuminated]. On October 8th at

00:00:00, the moon is now full [99.9% illuminated with the phase at 1.00]. By October 9th at 00:00:00 the moon is now a waning gibbous)
Date of New Moon
Dates of Waxing Crescent
Date of First Quarter
Date of Waxing Gibbous
Date of Full Moon
Date of Waning Gibbous
Date of Third (Last) Quarter
Date of Waning Crescent

2. The sidereal period is the amount of time it takes the moon to complete one full orbit around the Earth. This can be tracked by the moon’s right ascension. When

the moon repeats a right ascension reading, it has finished one complete 360° orbit around the Earth.
On which two dates are the moon’s RA nearly the same?
Date of Start of Sidereal Period    Date of End of Sidereal Period

3. How much time has passed between those two dates? (Subtract the dates, remembering that midnight to noon is 12 hours, or 0.5 days)
Length of Sidereal Period in Days

4. The synodic period is the amount of time it takes the moon to complete all of its phases
On which two dates are the moon’s illumination % and its phase nearly the same?
Date of Start of Synodic Period    Date of End of Synodic Period

5. How much time has passed between those two dates? (Subtract the dates, remembering that midnight to noon is 12 hours, or 0.5 days)
Length of Synodic Period in Days
