Lesson Planet
The moon is up at night the same amount of time it is up during the day. The video discusses why the moon has phases, how even ancient people knew it was a sphere, and each moon phase. It focuses on each moon phase individually, not only explaining the positioning, but also how we observe it from Earth.
