Question

On the calendar provided below, the full moon is shown happening on the eleventh of the month? What moon would you see around the 25th of the month, shown with the question mark? Question 8 options: A. First Quarter B. New Moon C. Waxing Crescent D. Waning Gibbous

Answer 1

The correct answer is - B. New Moon.

Step-by-step explanation:

The change of moon disc from all black to all light to all dark again is called the lunar cycle. It takes almost 30 days (29.53059 to be precise). The time from all black to all light or all light to all black is almost 15 days. All black moon is termed as the new moon and all light is termed as the full moon.

As given that the full moon is shown happening on the eleventh of the month then what moon would be around 25 which is 14 days later that should be in waxing gibbous phase and almost new moon.

Thus, the correct answer is - B. new moon.
