Question

Use the below images to put the lunar phases in the order they would appear on a diagram that starts with New Moon as the first phase.
New moon
full moon, waning cresent, last quarter, first quarter

Answer 1

To arrange the lunar phases in the correct order starting with New Moon, the sequence would be:

1. **New Moon**
2. **First Quarter**
3. **Full Moon**
4. **Last Quarter**
5. **Waning Crescent**

This order represents the progression of lunar phases as seen from Earth.

Answer 2

the BLANK phases are when the visible portion of the moon gets bigger. The BLANK phases are when the visible portion of the moon gets smaller.

waxing cresent gibbous waning

Answer 3

The **waxing** phases are when the visible portion of the moon gets bigger. The **waning** phases are when the visible portion of the moon gets smaller.

In more detail:
- Waxing phases include **waxing crescent** and **waxing gibbous**.
- Waning phases include **waning gibbous** and **waning crescent**.

Answer 4

Which diagram models a hypothetical situation in which every location on Earth would have 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness every day?
A. Earth orbits the sun in less than 365 days.
A. Earth orbits the sun in less than 365 days.

B. Earth's orbit is a perfect circle.
B. Earth's orbit is a perfect circle.

C. Earth does not tilt on its axis.
C. Earth does not tilt on its axis.

D. Earth has two moons.

Answer 5

The correct answer is **C. Earth does not tilt on its axis.**

In a hypothetical situation where Earth does not tilt on its axis, every location on Earth would experience 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness every day throughout the year. This is because the tilt of Earth's axis is what causes the variation in daylight hours at different latitudes throughout the year.

Answer 6

The BLANK area pull of the BLANK area on the BLANK area causes tides. The BLANK area can increase the tides when it lines up with the BLANK area to create a BLANK area tide.
moon spring gravitational earth sun spring

Answer 7

The **gravitational** pull of the **moon** on the **Earth** area causes tides. The **sun** can increase the tides when it lines up with the **Earth** area to create a **spring** tide.

Answer 8

earth is wrong

Answer 9

I apologize for any confusion. Here is the corrected sentence:

The **gravitational** pull of the **moon** on the **Earth** causes tides. The **sun** can increase the tides when it lines up with the **moon** to create a **spring** tide.

So the filled-in blanks are:

The **gravitational** pull of the **moon** on the **Earth** causes tides. The **sun** can increase the tides when it lines up with the **moon** to create a **spring** tide.

Answer 10

he diagram below shows four positions in the Earth’s orbit around the sun.

Label the four positions with the season being experienced by the Northern Hemisphere.
earth
1 is fully white, 2 is half black and white (black aligned on left), 3 is completely black, 4 is half black and half white (black aligned on the right)

Answer 11

In the Northern Hemisphere, the seasons experienced at the four positions in Earth's orbit around the sun are as follows:

1. **Position 1 (Fully white)** - **Summer**
- This position occurs when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, receiving the most direct sunlight.

2. **Position 2 (Half black and white, black on left)** - **Spring**
- This position occurs when the Northern Hemisphere is transitioning from winter to summer, experiencing moderate temperatures.

3. **Position 3 (Completely black)** - **Winter**
- This position occurs when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, receiving the least direct sunlight and therefore experiencing colder temperatures.

4. **Position 4 (Half black and half white, black on right)** - **Fall (Autumn)**
- This position occurs when the Northern Hemisphere is transitioning from summer to winter, with decreasing temperatures.

So, the labeling of positions is as follows:

1. Summer
2. Spring
3. Winter
4. Fall/Autumn
