Moon Phases 2022 – Northern Hemisphere

This video shows the moon phases in the Northern Hemisphere throughout the year 2022. The moon goes through a cycle of phases every 29.5 days, starting with a new moon, then waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, third quarter, and waning crescent. The video also shows the names of the full moons in 2022, such as the Wolf Moon, Snow Moon, Worm Moon, Pink Moon, Flower Moon, Strawberry Moon, Buck Moon, Sturgeon Moon, Harvest Moon, Hunter's Moon, and Beaver Moon.

The moon's phases are caused by the way the sun, moon, and Earth are positioned relative to each other. When the moon is between the sun and Earth, it appears as a new moon. As the moon moves around the Earth, more of its illuminated side becomes visible, until it reaches a full moon. After the full moon, the moon continues to move away from the sun, and less of its illuminated side becomes visible, until it reaches a new moon again.

The moon's phases have a long history of significance to human cultures around the world. In many cultures, the full moon was a time of celebration and feasting. The moon's phases were also used to track the seasons and to predict the weather.

In the Northern Hemisphere, the moon's phases change throughout the year as the Earth's axis tilts towards and away from the sun. In the winter, the moon's phases are shorter and the moon appears lower in the sky. In the summer, the moon's phases are longer and the moon appears higher in the sky.

This video is a great resource for anyone who wants to learn more about the moon phases and their significance. It is also a beautiful visual representation of the moon's changing appearance throughout the year.
