Como Explorar Moon Phases 3D Explorer - Paso a Paso
The Moon Phases 3D Explorer starts as soon as the page loads: drag to orbit the Sun-Earth-Moon layout, scroll or pinch to zoom, and slide the phase day control from 0 to 29.53. Everything renders on your own device - no install, no account.
Open the scene
Load the page and the Earth-Moon pair appears with the Sun off to one side. The 3D engine downloads once and is cached. If WebGL is unavailable, a plain notice appears instead of a broken canvas, and the facts panel still reads normally.
Scrub the synodic month
Move the phase day slider from 0.0 to 29.53. Day 0 is new moon - the Moon sits between Earth and the Sun so the face toward Earth is dark. Near day 7.4 you reach first quarter; near day 14.8 full moon; near day 22.1 last quarter. The panel updates the phase name on every move.
Play one full cycle
Press Play month to animate from day 0 through 29.53 and loop. At 1x one synodic month takes about 30 seconds. Press again to pause on any phase for a closer look.
Orbit and zoom
Drag to swing the camera around the Earth-Moon pair and see the Sun direction from different angles. Scroll or pinch to move closer to the Moon's lit hemisphere or pull back to see the whole geometry.
Read the facts panel
The panel lists synodic month 29.53 days, sidereal month 27.32 days, mean distance 384,400 km, and inclination 5.14 degrees - NASA published values. A note below states that on-screen sizes and distances are compressed; the table numbers are real.
