Answer:

The Moon doesn't make its own light, it just reflects the Sun's light as all the planets do. We see the Moon go through a changing cycle of phases each month due to its orbital motion around Earth and the changing geometry with which we view it.

Answer:

Explanation:

The moon orbits around the Earth in an elliptical path. As it moves along its orbit, it reflects light from sun back to Earth. Sometime the Earth's position in orbit blocks some of the sun light to the moon, its reflection will show Earth's shadow. The different size and position of Earth's shadow account for the moon's phases: no shadow at full moon and half shadow at crescent moon.

According to Confucius, what is the connection between filial duty and good<br>government?

ch4aika [34]

<u>Answer:</u>

Confucius accepted that <em>honorability was earned or presented through legitimacy, not birth.</em> Confucius accepted that convention was more essential to transmit customary ways as opposed to create new thoughts.

He was a <em>Neo-Confucius thinker</em> and he deciphered Confucius. He safeguarded Confucianism against Buddhists and Taoists.

Government and society in China were grounded in the Confucian way of thinking, <em>which held that there was an essential request known to man and a characteristic concordance connecting man, nature, and the universe (paradise)</em>

Proving Vertical Angles Are Congruent

Umnica [9.8K]

The diagram shows that ∠2 and ∠4 are the vertical angles.

<h3>What are vertical angles?</h3>

Vertical angles are the angles that are opposite of each other when two lines cross.

The statements are:

1. < 2 & < 4 are vert. angles

2. Lines M & N intersect at P

3. < 2 & < 3 are a linear pair

4. m < 2 + m < 3 = 180

5. <3 and < 4 are a linear pair

6. m < 3 + m <4 =180

7. m < 2 + m < 3 = m < 3 + m < 4

8. m < 2 = m < 4

9. < 2 =~ <4

Here are the reasons:

1. Given

2. Def of vertical angles.

3. Def if. Linear pair

4. Angle addition postulate

5. Def of a linear pair

6. Angle addition postulate

7. Substitution property

8. Subtraction property

9. Def of =~ angles.
