Question

Describe how the moon changes between the full moon and the new moon. Describe how it changes between the new moon and the next full moon.

Answer 1

Also the reason it appears to be changing is because of the shadow the Earth is casting on it while blocking the sun from hitting it. It appears to be growing and getting smaller when in reality it’s the same we just can’t always see it due to shadows.

Answer 2

Between the new and full Moon, the amount of Moon we see grows — or waxes from its right side toward its left side. As it passes the full Moon stage, the amount of illumination decreases — or wanes — from right to left.
