The moon models are just the lunar cycle.

Answer 1

To accurately match the phases of the moon with their corresponding models, you'll typically have eight phases to consider. Below is a guide to help with identifying each phase:

1. New Moon - The moon is not visible from Earth; it is positioned between the Earth and the Sun.

2. Waxing Crescent - A small sliver of the moon is illuminated on the right side, with the rest dark.

3. First Quarter - Half of the moon is illuminated on the right side, appearing as a semi-circle.

4. Waxing Gibbous - More than half of the moon is illuminated, with the right side still the brightest.

5. Full Moon - The entire face of the moon is illuminated and visible from Earth; it is opposite the Sun.

6. Waning Gibbous - More than half of the moon is illuminated, but the left side begins to darken.

7. Last Quarter - Half of the moon is illuminated on the left side, again appearing as a semi-circle.

8. Waning Crescent - A small sliver of the moon is illuminated on the left side, with the rest dark.

If you have specific models to choose from, you can match them according to how well they represent this description. Let me know if you have images or specific characteristics of the models you need to compare!
