The diagrams above show Earth and the Moon in different positions, as seen from above (top view). Sunlight is coming from the left, but these diagrams do not show what parts of Earth or the Moon are light or dark.

The diagrams above show Earth and the Moon in different positions, as seen from above (top view). Sunlight is coming from the left, but these diagrams do not show what parts of Earth or the Moon are light or dark.

Question 1

Could the half of the Moon that faces Earth ever be completely dark in any of these diagrams?

No, the Moon is always lit by the sun.

Yes, always in Diagrams 1 and 3, but never in Diagram 2.

Yes, always in Diagram 3 and sometimes in Diagram 1.

Yes, always in Diagram 3, but never in Diagrams 1 or 2.

Tonight the moon will appear as modeled. Locate this moon phase on the model below and predict the remaining moon phases on the correct dates in the calendar below.  

Question 2

Predict the remaining moon phases on the correct dates in the calendar below.

An artist took two photographs of the Moon that were several days apart. Images that look like his photographs are shown above. 

Question 4

How can you explain why the moon phases appear different throughout the month?
CFS:
Accurately identifies the light on the moon based on its position
Accurately describes the relationship between the moons position and the appearance from Earth

Question 2

Question 3

The light part of the Moon appeared to get smaller over time. Why did this happen?

Between the first photograph and the second photograph, the Moon rotated so that less of the light-colored rock on the Moon’s surface faced Earth.

Between the first photograph and the second photograph, Earth moved so its shadow was blocking more of the Moon so the artist was able to see less of it.

Between the first photograph and the second photograph, the Moon moved so that the artist could see less of the half that faces the sun.

Between the first photograph and the second photograph, the Moon moved farther away from the sun so less sunlight reached the Moon’s surface.
