Question

T/F The phases of the moon depend on how much of the lighted side of the moon can be seen from Earth.

Answer 1

The correct answer is True

Explanation:

The phases of the moon or lunar phases refer to the sunlit portion of the moon, which is the natural satellite of the Earth, that is observable from Earth. The portion that is visible changes over time as the Moon moves around the Earth and the Earth around the Sun which leads to four principal phases including new moon, the first quarter, the full moon and the third quarter that create a cycle that lasts around 29 days in which the visibility of the moon from the Earth changes from 0% in the new moon to 100% in the full moon. This means the phases of the moon depend on how much of the lighted or sunlit side of the moon can be seen according to the position of the moon and the sun, which makes the statement of the question true.

Answer 2

That statement is true

We see the moon as we see today only because sunlight reflect it back to us from it's surface.
Depending on how much sun light it is, the reflected part sometime is only half a circle, quarter if circle, etc
