Where is the moon located in relation to Earth and the sun when it is a first-quarter moon? (1 point)

between Earth and the sun

behind Earth and away from the sun

behind the sun and away from Earth

perpendicular to Earth and the sun

Answer 1

The earth is the third planet from the centre of our Solar System, orbiting the Sun. The Moon is a natural satellite of the Earth, orbiting it in a circular orbit. The moon is in eastern quadrature at first quarter. On the sky's dome, the sun is 90º east. A last quarter moon, on the other hand, is the same as a moon in western quadrature, when the moon is 90 ° west of the sun.

Answer 2

The First Quarter Moon is a primary Moon phase when half of the Moon's face is lit up. Whether it is the left or right half depends on where you are on Earth.
