1. Which phase of the moon is seen when the moon is located between Earth and the sun?(1 point)
2. Where is the moon located in relation to Earth and the sun when it is a first-quarter moon? (1 point)
3. What is a difference between a waxing crescent and a waning gibbous? (1 point)
4. What is a similarity between the first-quarter moon and the third-quarter moon? (1 point)
1. The phase of the moon that is seen when the moon is located between Earth and the sun is the new moon phase.
2. When it is a first-quarter moon, the moon is located at a 90-degree angle from the Earth and the sun. It is positioned on the right side of the Earth if viewed from the northern hemisphere.
3. The main difference between a waxing crescent and a waning gibbous is the amount of visible illuminated moon. During a waxing crescent, a small crescent of the moon is visible on the right side, while during a waning gibbous, a large portion of the moon is visible on the left side.
4. A similarity between the first-quarter moon and the third-quarter moon is that both phases are half-illuminated, with one side of the moon being fully illuminated and the other side in darkness. The main difference is the orientation of the illuminated side, with the first-quarter moon's illuminated side on the right and the third-quarter moon's illuminated side on the left.
So the answers are?
1. New moon
2. Positioned at a 90-degree angle from Earth and the sun (on the right side if viewed from the northern hemisphere)
3. Waxing crescent - small crescent on the right side; Waning gibbous - large portion on the left side
4. Both are half-illuminated, with one side fully illuminated and the other in darkness. The orientation of the illuminated side differs, with the first-quarter moon's illuminated side on the right and the third-quarter moon's illuminated side on the left.
What is the 2nd 3rd and 4th one?
2. The moon is located at a 90-degree angle from Earth and the sun when it is a first-quarter moon. It is positioned on the right side if viewed from the northern hemisphere.
3. The difference between a waxing crescent and a waning gibbous is the amount of visible illuminated moon. During a waxing crescent, a small crescent of the moon is visible on the right side. On the other hand, during a waning gibbous, a large portion of the moon is visible on the left side.
4. A similarity between the first-quarter moon and the third-quarter moon is that both phases are half-illuminated. One side of the moon is completely illuminated, while the other side is in darkness. The distinction lies in the orientation of the illuminated side: the first-quarter moon's illuminated side is on the right, whereas the third-quarter moon's illuminated side is on the left.
The last one is?
The last one is: A similarity between the first-quarter moon and the third-quarter moon is that both phases are half-illuminated, with one side of the moon being fully illuminated and the other side in darkness.
I CAN TALKKKK
1. When the moon is located between Earth and the sun, the phase of the moon that is seen is called a New Moon. To understand this, you need to know that the moon does not produce its own light but instead reflects sunlight. During a New Moon, the side of the moon that is facing Earth is not illuminated by the sun, making it appear completely dark from our perspective.
2. When the moon is in its first-quarter phase, it is located at a right angle with respect to both Earth and the sun. This means that the sun, Earth, and the moon form a right triangle, with Earth at the right angle. In this position, the sun illuminates exactly half of the moon that is visible from Earth, creating a half-moon shape. The illuminated portion is on the eastern side, giving it the appearance of a right-facing letter "D".
3. The main difference between a waxing crescent and a waning gibbous is the amount of illumination and the shape of the moon. A waxing crescent moon is seen during the waxing phase, which means it is growing in illumination from a New Moon towards a Full Moon. It appears as a small sliver of light on the right side, resembling a crescent shape.
On the other hand, a waning gibbous moon is observed during the waning phase, as the moon is decreasing in illumination from a Full Moon towards a New Moon. It appears as a larger, mostly illuminated moon with a small portion of darkness on the right side, resembling the shape of a gibbous fruit.
4. A similarity between the first-quarter moon and the third-quarter moon is that they both appear as half-moons when viewed from Earth. The first-quarter moon is seen when the moon has completed about one-quarter of its orbit around Earth, whereas the third-quarter moon is observed when the moon has completed about three-quarters of its orbit. In both cases, exactly half of the moon that is facing Earth is illuminated by sunlight, resulting in a half-moon shape. The significant difference is the side of the moon that is illuminated, with the first quarter being illuminated on the right side and the third quarter on the left side.
