Question

Felipe believes that whenever the Moon is in the position that is shown from above (top view) in Diagram A, the Moon always looks completely bright in the view from Earth, as shown in Diagram B. Is Felipe correct? If he is correct, explain why the Moon always looks bright from Earth in that position, and explain how he should show light on the Moon in Diagram A. If he is incorrect, explain how else the Moon can look when it is in that position.

Answer 1

Felipe is WRONG!

Step-by-step explanation:

(sorry Felipe) IN diagram A you can see that the light comes from the left. It imapscts the Earth first and then there is the Moon. This shadow will cover the tennis ball. And there will be almost no light that can reach the tennis ball. So in conclusion it will not be bright.
