Observing the Moon during the month allows to notice that gradually changes its appearance from the entire disk to a narrow crescent.After that, two or three days it remains invisible, and then you can watch her change in reverse order - from disk to sickle.The form or phase of the moon at the same time changing every month in a strict order.Venus and Mercury also occasionally take on a different look, but it lasts much longer.
are changing phases of the moon because of the different conditions of its coverage in relation to the one who was watching her.They depend on how mutually arranged this celestial body, the Sun and the Earth.
Moon may be on a straight line between the Earth and the sun.In this position pivoted to the Earth that part which is not covered, and therefore it is not visible.This new moon.After 1-2 days the planet slightly deviates from the straight line that connects the centers of the Earth and the sun.During this period, a narrow crescent of the moon is visible.A week later, it covered half the disk.This is the first quarter moon phase.
Two weeks later, the planet is once again on the line that connects the Sun and the Earth, but not between them, and on the other side.Since the full moon, when the whole disk illuminated by night lights.At this time, most likely to occur various phenomena - such as solar eclipses, the biggest tides.Both phases of the moon are called in one word - "syzygy."
then again begins to decrease the portion of the Moon that is illuminated.After three weeks from the time she was invisible again seen only half of its disk.This is the last quarter.Every day crescent Moon is getting narrower and narrower.The full cycle of changes is completed the "disappearance" of light.Synodic month lasts about 30 days (29.53).
In the segment of the new moon to the full moon from the moon is considered a growing or young.After this period, it is called the old.To find out at what point is the night light changes, use the lunar calendar.Phases of the Moon can be easily identified, and without his help, "the eye."If the form of sickle resembles the letter "C", it is old.If the crescent can be converted to the letter "P" (mentally pririsoval stick), it is young and growing.
Successive phases of the moon affect not only the processes that occur in nature, but also for each individual.Moreover, men and women respond to them in different ways.Thus, the stronger sex strongly influences the new moon.During this period, they become more sociable, talkative.During a full moon, man, on the contrary, become calm, obedient, flexible, they have increased libido.But women at the full moon just more irritable, their emotional state is unstable, and the estimates are biased.Their biological rhythms are inseparable from the phases of the night lights.For example, this applies to monthly if they develop normally, it usually starts at the same time when a woman was born.
the full moon and new moon carries a risk for both men (frequent heart attacks), and for their halves (strokes).Therefore, a few days before them in order to prevent and that, and another is better to take medications that significantly reduce the risk.
Ancient people noticed, and modern research has confirmed that the effectiveness of certain actions, too, have a direct impact phase of the moon.Hair cutting, for example, will be more or less effective depending on the time of its implementation.It is believed that, for better hair growth should be cut off at their growing Moon.However, if, on the contrary, I want to go to the hairdresser less, then the time for cutting is better to choose another.It is best suited during the waning moon.
affected by changes in light on the fate of unborn children.Studies have shown that if a child is conceived in the year when his mother's birthday falls on a full moon or new moon, it will develop both mentally and physically faster than its peers.
