Movements of the Earth
Rotation: About an axis that is tilted 23,5 with respect to the ecliptic. Origin of the succession of days and nights.

Traslation: Around the sun. Nearly circular orbits that defines and elliptical. Along with the inclination of the axis, causes the seasons.

The Moon

Is the satellite of the Earth.

The rotation and the traslation last as long, so we always see the same face, 28 days.

Has 4 phases:
New Moon Quarter Full Moon Waning.

An eclipse is a darkening of a celestial body by another. The Moon produces eclipses:

Solar eclipse: the Moon cover the Sun.

Moon eclipse: the Earth casts its shadow on the Moon.

The attraction of the moon on the water masses causes tides.
