<u>Answer:</u>   False

<em>Some people believe that the Moon’s phases are caused by Earth’s shadows on the Moon is false.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Some people believe that the Moon’s phases are caused by Earth’s shadows on the Moon is their misconception. </em>

The phases depend on its place relative with sun and earth.The phases of moon are new moon,waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbon, full moon, wanning gibbon,last quarter, wanning crescent,new moon.

<em>For example, </em>

When<em> moon, earth, and sun</em> are exactly in the same line and moon lies in between earth and sun, the sun illuminates the back part of the moon which is not visible from earth. <em>This forms new moon</em>.

<em>So only relative positions matter in the phases of moon. </em>

<span>The </span>abundance of a chemical element<span> is a measure of the </span>occurrence<span> of the </span>element<span> relative to all other elements in a given environment. Abundance is measured in one of three ways: by the </span>mass-fraction<span> (the same as weight fraction); by the </span>mole-fraction<span> (fraction of atoms by numerical count, or sometimes fraction of molecules in gases); or by the </span>volume-fraction<span>. Volume-fraction is a common abundance measure in mixed gases such as planetary atmospheres, and is similar in value to molecular mole-fraction for gas mixtures at relatively low densities and pressures, and </span>ideal gas<span> mixtures. Most abundance values in this article are given as mass-fractions.
