Use the below images to put the lunar phases in the order they would appear on a diagram that starts with New Moon as the first phase.

New moon
full moon, waning cresent, last quarter, first quarter

11 answers

To arrange the lunar phases in the correct order starting with New Moon, the sequence would be:

  1. New Moon
  2. First Quarter
  3. Full Moon
  4. Last Quarter
  5. Waning Crescent

This order represents the progression of lunar phases as seen from Earth.

the BLANK phases are when the visible portion of the moon gets bigger. The BLANK phases are when the visible portion of the moon gets smaller.

waxing cresent gibbous waning

The waxing phases are when the visible portion of the moon gets bigger. The waning phases are when the visible portion of the moon gets smaller.

In more detail:

  • Waxing phases include waxing crescent and waxing gibbous.
  • Waning phases include waning gibbous and waning crescent.
Which diagram models a hypothetical situation in which every location on Earth would have 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness every day?
A. Earth orbits the sun in less than 365 days.
A. Earth orbits the sun in less than 365 days.

B. Earth's orbit is a perfect circle.
B. Earth's orbit is a perfect circle.

C. Earth does not tilt on its axis.
C. Earth does not tilt on its axis.

D. Earth has two moons.

The correct answer is C. Earth does not tilt on its axis.

In a hypothetical situation where Earth does not tilt on its axis, every location on Earth would experience 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness every day throughout the year. This is because the tilt of Earth's axis is what causes the variation in daylight hours at different latitudes throughout the year.

The BLANK area pull of the BLANK area on the BLANK area causes tides. The BLANK area can increase the tides when it lines up with the BLANK area to create a BLANK area tide.
moon spring gravitational earth sun spring

The gravitational pull of the moon on the Earth area causes tides. The sun can increase the tides when it lines up with the Earth area to create a spring tide.

earth is wrong

I apologize for any confusion. Here is the corrected sentence:

The gravitational pull of the moon on the Earth causes tides. The sun can increase the tides when it lines up with the moon to create a spring tide.

So the filled-in blanks are:

The gravitational pull of the moon on the Earth causes tides. The sun can increase the tides when it lines up with the moon to create a spring tide.

Let me know if you need any further clarification!

he diagram below shows four positions in the Earth’s orbit around the sun.

Label the four positions with the season being experienced by the Northern Hemisphere.
earth
1 is fully white, 2 is half black and white (black aligned on left), 3 is completely black, 4 is half black and half white (black aligned on the right)

In the Northern Hemisphere, the seasons experienced at the four positions in Earth's orbit around the sun are as follows:

  1. Position 1 (Fully white) - Summer

    • This position occurs when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, receiving the most direct sunlight.
  2. Position 2 (Half black and white, black on left) - Spring

    • This position occurs when the Northern Hemisphere is transitioning from winter to summer, experiencing moderate temperatures.
  3. Position 3 (Completely black) - Winter

    • This position occurs when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, receiving the least direct sunlight and therefore experiencing colder temperatures.
  4. Position 4 (Half black and half white, black on right) - Fall (Autumn)

    • This position occurs when the Northern Hemisphere is transitioning from summer to winter, with decreasing temperatures.

So, the labeling of positions is as follows:

  1. Summer
  2. Spring
  3. Winter
  4. Fall/Autumn
