The phases of the moon are the changing appearances of the moon, as seen from Earth. Which phase happens immediately after a third quarter moon are the following
Explanation:
- After the full moon (maximum illumination), the light continually decreases. So the waning gibbous phase occurs next. Following the third quarter is the waning crescent, which wanes until the light is completely gone -- a new moon.
waning gibbous phase
- The waning gibbous phase occurs between the full moon and third quarter phases. The last quarter moon (or a half moon) is when half of the lit portion of the Moon is visible after the waning gibbous phase.
Time takes by the moon to go through all the phases
about 29.5 days
- It takes 27 days, 7 hours, and 43 minutes for our Moon to complete one full orbit around Earth. This is called the sidereal month, and is measured by our Moon's position relative to distant “fixed” stars. However, it takes our Moon about 29.5 days to complete one cycle of phases (from new Moon to new Moon).
- At 3rd quarter, the moon rises at midnight and sets at noon. Then we see only a crescent. At new, the moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset, and we don't see any of the illuminated side!
Answer: *The inner planet that has two moons is Mars * the only planet in the Solar System with clockwise rotation is Venus * The surface of Mercury is covered with ancient magma ( which is similar to the spews of volcanoes on Earth as well) * The planet that is closest to Earth is Mercury * Venus has more volcanoes than any other planet * Earth's moon formed when a(n) can sometimes be called the Big Splash or can be called the Theia impact (Luna the moon formed from the ejecta of the collision between the Proto- Earth and Mars sized planet) * Mars is called the red planet because it's soil contains the element iron oxide ( which is the compound that gives blood and rust hue)
Explanation: Hope this helped :)
False it is not determined by size
