A similarity between the phases of the moon in week 2 and week 4 is that they both start in waning. In week 2, the moon is waxing (increasing in illumination), while in week 4, it is waning (decreasing in illumination) after the full moon. However, if the focus is exclusively on the starting phase, the best fitting answer here might be a mistake or an interpretation issue.
But if we consider the overall cycle and the transitions, the best response from the given options appears to be: They both end with a full moon. However, that is not correct since only one phase contains the full moon.
Please double-check the intent of your question or clarify, as it seems none of the options perfectly fit. If we go strictly by week definitions, 2 involves waxing and transitioning towards full, whereas week 4 deals with waning post-full moon.

The Northern Hemisphere is experiencing the summer season. Where is most of the direct sunlight located on Earth at that time?(1 point) Responses on the Northern Hemisphere on the Northern Hemisphere on both hemispheres on both hemispheres on the equator on the equator on the Southern Hemisphere
and thank you for every thing
and thank you for every thing
When the Northern Hemisphere is experiencing the summer season, most of the direct sunlight is located on the Northern Hemisphere. This is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis, which causes the Northern Hemisphere to receive more direct sunlight during this time.
Thank you for your questions, and if you have more, feel free to ask!
