10/2001 to Use This Paper Properly, INTRODUCTION The students assignment was to research the orbit of
the moon by noting the shape of the moon, recording the date and time, and by using various forms of measurement formulating an opinion as to the shape of the
moons orbit around the earth. THE MOONS ORBIT Using several excellent websites from the internet, the student can use the information found on them to simulate the
assignment and obtain the rough measurements needed for the assignment. One website in particular is noted as having excellent diagrams and charts (not included within this paper) which will
help the student develop a full understanding of the way the moon and the earth interact in relation to their proximity from each other. The first thing the student will
learn in following the diagrams is that the moon does not orbit the earth in a perfect circle. Rather, the shape of the moons orbit is rather elliptical in
shape and looks rather off-balanced when viewed on paper. Some scientists theorize that this is because of the moons violent beginning as being formed through the crashing of a
Mars-sized body into the then-young planet Earth (Whitehouse PG). The earth was then on an orbit that was about one degree off center. However, the moon was at a
tilt of approximately five degrees. This has all been deduced through the use of computer simulations and theory on the beginnings of how some of the planets were formed.
