Question

As the moon revolves around Earth, it appears to change shape. The moon goes through phases during a period that lasts about one month. Describe what causes the moon to change shape as it goes from a full moon to a last-quarter moon.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is - the reflected light of sunlight changes as it moves around the earth.

Explanation:

The moon appears to change its shape during the revolving around the earth. This change in the shape of the moon takes place due to the fact that the moon does not have its own light and it reflects light from back to us on the earth.

The moon changes its shape on the basis of how much-reflected light or moon we can see and how much of the moon is facing the sun.

The correct answer is - the reflected light of sunlight changes as it moves around the earth.
