Science Vs
The Full Moon: Is It Messing With Us?

You still work there?

Science Vs
The Full Moon: Is It Messing With Us?

Yes, I can explain this.

Science Vs
The Full Moon: Is It Messing With Us?

I actually brought a prop.

Science Vs
The Full Moon: Is It Messing With Us?

Oh, great.

Science Vs
The Full Moon: Is It Messing With Us?

Okay, so I have like a model of the sun, the earth, and the moon for you.

Science Vs
The Full Moon: Is It Messing With Us?

My God, you've really gone all out, Meryl.

Science Vs
The Full Moon: Is It Messing With Us?

Okay, so we are right now on the surface of the Earth, right?

Science Vs
The Full Moon: Is It Messing With Us?

Yeah, that I know.

Science Vs
The Full Moon: Is It Messing With Us?

So imagine you're spinning around and around.

Science Vs
The Full Moon: Is It Messing With Us?

The Earth is moving around and around.

Science Vs
The Full Moon: Is It Messing With Us?

And when we are on the part of the Earth that's facing away from the sun, that's what we call nighttime, right?

Science Vs
The Full Moon: Is It Messing With Us?

Right, yes.

Science Vs
The Full Moon: Is It Messing With Us?

Well, the moon also has a side that's lit up and a side that's dark.

Science Vs
The Full Moon: Is It Messing With Us?

And we see different amounts of that lit up side depending on where the moon is in its orbit around the sun.

Science Vs
The Full Moon: Is It Messing With Us?

So when we see a full moon, it's when the moon is in this really particular position where you've got the moon on one side of the earth and then the sun like on the other side.

Science Vs
The Full Moon: Is It Messing With Us?

So it's almost like the sun and the moon are making an earth sandwich.
