Question

In the photo, as the moon journeys from position 5, does the portion of its illuminated side visible from Earth increase or decrease? In the photo, as the Moon journey from position 8, does the portion of its illuminated side visible from Earth increase or decrease? In the photo, what is the letter of lunar phases (A-H) seen from Earth and what is the Name of Phase from the the moons (1-8)?

Cuneu the neuW-Moon ("no moon") phase. Conversely, when the Moon lies on the side of
Earth opposite the Sun, all of its bright side is visible producing the full-Moon phase. At any
position between these extremes, only a fraction of the Moon's illuminated half is visible.

Expert Solution

Introduction.

The phase of the Moon, also called the lunar phase, refers to the shape of the reflection of light from the Moon's surface as seen from the Earth. If the Moon aligns itself between the Earth and the Sun, there is no reflection of light from its surface. In contrast, if the Moon aligns itself away from the Earth in a straight line with the Earth and the Sun, there is a complete reflection of the sunlight from the Moon's surface on Earth, and the full Moon is observed.
