rotation:the action of rotating around an axis or center
revolution:a turning or rotational motion about an axis
orbit:one complete revolution of such a body
tilt:to favor one side over another in a dispute
axis:a reference line from which distances or angles are measured in a coordinate system
hemisphere:either half of the celestial sphere as divided by the ecliptic, the celestial equator, or the horizon

waning gibbous:a lunar phase or phase of the moon is the appearance of the illuminated portion of the Moon as seen by an observer, usually on Earth
waning crescent:the moon appears to be partly but less than one-half illuminated by direct sunlight. Illumination is decreasing
quarter:one of four equal parts
lunar eclipse:an eclipse in which the moon appears darkened as it passes into the earth's shadow
