Sunlight on the Moon

Open to everyone until Wednesday, September 30

To keep it, print it while it is open.

The Moon does not make its own light. It shines because it reflects light from the Sun.

In the picture

  1. The lit half of the Moon ball, shining with light from the lamp
  2. The dark half of the Moon ball, turned away from the lamp
  3. The yellow lamp, sending light toward the Moon ball

Examples

  • A mirror shining when sunlight hits it.
  • A ball bright on one side when a flashlight shines on it.
