Question 9.
Which phases occur at points 1 and 5, and what is causing these phases?
A full moon occurs at point 1, and a new moon occurs at point 5. These phases are caused because half of the Moon is always lit by the Sun, but only part of the Moon's lit surface can be seen as the Moon orbits Earth, and Earth orbits the Sun.
A new moon occurs at point 1, and a full moon occurs at point 5. These phases are caused because half of the Moon is always lit by the Sun, but only part of the Moon's lit surface can be seen as the Moon orbits Earth, and Earth orbits the Sun.
A new moon occurs at point 1, and a full moon occurs at point 5. Both phases are caused because the Moon changes its shape from night to night.
A new moon occurs at point 1, and a full moon, at point 5. These phases occur when the Moon looks like it is changing shape as Earth goes around the Moon.

Based on the information provided regarding the Moon's phases and their causes, the correct answers to the questions are as follows:
**Question 9:**
The correct answer is:
**A full moon occurs at point 1, and a new moon occurs at point 5. These phases are caused because half of the Moon is always lit by the Sun, but only part of the Moon's lit surface can be seen as the Moon orbits Earth, and Earth orbits the Sun.**
This statement accurately describes the appearance of the Moon at those phases and the reasoning behind it.
**Question 10:**
The full moon is typically visible when the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon. Therefore, if point 1 indicates the full moon in the provided diagram, the answer would be:
**1**
