Question

These moon phases occur in a highly predictable pattern. New moon is always followed by waxing crescent, then first quarter, then waxing gibbous, then full moon, then waning gibbous, then third (or last) quarter, then waning crescent, then back to new moon. Then the cycle repeats. This cycle of phases of the moon are caused by the Moon’s revolution around the Earth. One complete cycle of moon phases takes 29.5 days, or one month (think “moon-th”). Use the information above to answer the following questions. You must use full sentences to record your response in order to receive full credit. 1. Which two dates from the chart above would have nights with a full moon?

Answer 1

To determine which two dates would have nights with a full moon, one would typically reference a chart that outlines the dates of each moon phase. Since the chart is not provided here, I cannot specify the exact dates. However, a full moon occurs approximately halfway through the lunar cycle, which is around the 14th or 15th day after a new moon. To find the specific dates, you would need to look for the two dates in the chart that correspond to the full moon phase mentioned in the provided information.
