Answer: The moon is said to be in full phase when the illuminated half of the moon is fully in position for us to see it. The "new moon" phase of the lunar cycle happens when the sun, moon, and earth are located in a straight line, with the moon between the earth and the sun. The moon is said to be in a "waxing" phase when it is moving from the new moon phase into the full moon phase. During this time, the amount of visible, illuminated moon will be gradually growing. The moon is said to be in a "waning" phase when it is moving from the full moon phase into the new moon phase. During this time, the visible portion of the moon will appear to be shrinking. A crescent moon occurs close to the new and full moon stages, whether the moon is waxing or waning. At this time, only a small sliver of the illuminated moon is visible to us.

Increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere decreases the transparency of the atmosphere to infrared
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Decreases the transparency of the atmosphere to infrared light.

Explanation:

When a large amount of green-house gases are present in the atmosphere, the layer of these gases become opaque to infrared radiation and radiation from the sun get trapped into these gases molecules. These excited molecules radiate this energy into our own atmosphere and that why the temperature of Earth is rising due to the Green-House effect.
