True False
The moon's gravity causes our tides on earth.

The moon is bigger than the Earth

During an equinox, the sun is located directly over Earth's equator.

Earth's tilt is the reason for the seasons

The term waning is used to describe when the lighted portion of the Moon appears to get larger

During the new moon phase we can see light shining on the moon

When the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun, it is most likely a full moon.

The moon emits its own light.

The lunar cycle is approximately 4 weeks.

The yearly orbit of Earth around the Sun is called a revolution.

In the northern hemisphere, the winter solstice occurs on June 21 or 22.
