New Moon


Full Moon


First Quarter


Third Quarter

Answer 1

I can’t see the diagram you mentioned. Could you either re-upload the image or describe the positions (where the Sun is and where D is relative to Earth)?

If you want to identify it yourself, here’s how to tell:
- New Moon: the Moon is between Earth and Sun (the lit side faces away from Earth).
- Full Moon: the Moon is opposite the Sun (the lit side faces Earth).
- First Quarter: the Moon is 90° east of the Sun as seen from Earth — the right half of the Moon is illuminated.
- Third (Last) Quarter: the Moon is 90° west of the Sun — the left half of the Moon is illuminated.

Tell me where D sits relative to the Sun and Earth (or re-upload the diagram) and I’ll give the exact answer.
