Question

Light takes 1.2 sec to get from the moon to the Earth. Assume you are looking at the moon with noticeable earth shine. If the Sun burned out, you would eventually see the crescent of the moon disappear. The earth shine part of the moon would disappear Answer 2.4 s after the crescent disappeared.

Answer 1

1.2 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer to the following question is 1.2 seconds

Because light from the moon takes 1.2 seconds to reach Earth, the light released from the crescent immediately before it vanishes will also take 1.2 seconds to reach Earth. As a result, the earth-shine portion of the moon will vanish 1.2 seconds after the crescent has vanished.
