To sort the moon phases of Week 3 into the correct order, we need to know the typical progression of the moon's phases during a lunar month. The eight main phases of the moon, in order, are:
1. New Moon
2. Waxing Crescent
3. First Quarter
4. Waxing Gibbous
5. Full Moon
6. Waning Gibbous
7. Third Quarter
8. Waning Crescent
Given that Week 1 begins with the new moon, Week 3 would typically include the phases in the following order:
1. Waning Crescent (continuing from Week 2)
2. Third Quarter
3. Waning Gibbous
Therefore, the correct order of moon phases for Week 3 is Waning Crescent, Third Quarter, Waning Gibbous.
The moon's full cycle is about a month long. The moon's cycle can be divided into four weeks. Week I begins with the new moon.
Sort the moon phases of Week 3 into the correct order.
