Where does the Moon get its light? (check one)

The Moon makes its own light.

The Moon gets light from the sun.

The Moon gets light from Earth.

0

What evidence from the simulation supports your answer?
CFS:
Accurately identifies the light on the moon based on its position
Accurately describes the relationship between light and the appearance of illuminated objects
Accurately describes connections to the source of evidnece
"I know the moon gets light from _________ because .... "

I know the moon gets light from the Earth because light from the earth is bouncing off the the moon.

I know the moon gets light from Sun because when the sun is on the moon is illuminated. However when it is off there is no light.

I know the moon gets light because it can glow based on its rock type.

Why does the moon appear brighter on the left half of the moon from a top view?

The half of the Moon that is facing the sun is lit by the sun, and the other half is dark.

The Moon has some lighter-colored rock and some darker-colored rock, and the diagram is showing that the half of the Moon with the lighter-colored rock has rotated to the left.

As the Moon gets closer to the sun more of it is lit by the sun, so the diagram is showing sunlight on half of the Moon.

There is a shadow from Earth falling on half of the Moon, and the diagram is showing that shadow on the right half of the Moon.

What causes the moon to appear brighter on the left half of the moon from a top view?
CFS:
Accurately identifies the light on the moon based on its position
Accurately describes the relationship between light and the appearance of illuminated objects
"I know the moon gets light on the left half because .... "
(think: where is the sun? Why is the right side dark? )
