The diagrams below show the positions of the Sun (A), Earth (B), and Moon (C). Which diagram represents when a full moon would be observed from Earth's surface?(2 points)%0D%0AResponses

To determine the position of the Sun, Earth, and Moon during a full moon, we need to look for the arrangement where the Earth is positioned between the Sun and the Moon.

During a full moon, the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun, meaning that when you look up at the Moon during a full moon, the Sun is shining directly on the Moon, illuminating it fully.

So, if the diagrams show the positions of the Sun, Earth, and Moon, look for the one where the Sun (A) is on one side, the Earth (B) is in the middle, and the Moon (C) is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun.

If you have specific diagrams to refer to, please describe them so I can assist you in identifying the correct one.

whats the answer

Unfortunately, I can't see the diagrams you're referring to. However, based on the information provided:

  • A full moon occurs when the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon.

So, look for the diagram where:

  • The Sun (A) is on one side,
  • The Earth (B) is in the middle,
  • The Moon (C) is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun.

That diagram will represent the position during a full moon as observed from Earth's surface. If you can describe the diagrams, I can help you identify the correct one!
