Canvas - The Moon - Waning Gibbous
$40.00
The Moon rotates around the Earth at an average distance of 238,900 miles and a speed of .64 miles per second. As it make a full rotation once every 27 days the illuminated portion of the moons surface changes; however, the same side of the moon always faces the earth. As the location of the Moon in relation to the Earth changes, we see a different percentage of the surface lit creating the different phases of the moon. The Waning Gibbous phase occurs immediately after the full moon until it appears half lit or the Third Quarter Moon.
