Although half of the moon is always illuminated when viewing it from space, only a portion of the moon is illuminated when we look at it from Earth. The diagram below presents the relative positions of Earth, the sun, and the moon as seen from space. The positions of the moon are labeled 1-8. Which of the moons in the figure above would represent a crescent moon on Earth?
