What stage of the moon would be best for studying why?
This would either be the full moon if you want to see certain parts or the crescent moon. This is because during a crescent moon, the part of the moon that is bright is slightly brighter than the moon during full moon.
What would you have to do if you wanted to see the Moon's waning crescent phases?
You would have to wait until after the moon is full. Then, the moon is in its waning phase and you can see it!
What are the different shapes of the moon you see from the earth?
The different shapes are called phases.New MoonFirst QuarterFull MoonLast QuarterNew MoonphasesNew moon [not visible], waxing crescent [growing crescent shape], first quarter [right half is visible], waxing gibbous [growing from half to full], full moon [complete circle], waning gibbous [shrinking from full to half], third quarter [left half visible] and waning crescent [shrinking crescent shape].Moon PhasesPhases
Was the moon a full moon when neil Armstrong reached the moon?
No, the moon was a a waxing crescent, nearly a waxing half moon. The new moon in July, 1969, occured on the 14th, the full moon on the 28th, so the A-11 landing was right between them. (see link below for moon phase calendar)
Is the crescent moon brighter than the full moon?
From our perspective, it is not brighter. It is mostly the far side of the moon that is lit up, and it is bright there, but we cannot see it.
Why does so little of the moon appear to be lit in a crescent?
because we only see half of the moon and the earth is rotating on its axis and we only see a crescent shape of it( I'm sorry if my answer is not right I'm not good at this)
Is a quarter moon larger or smaller then a gibbous moon?
We see more of the moon lit when it is a gibbous moon than when it is a crescent moon, so it does seem bigger. Save
What are the phases of the moon and when do they occur?
The phases of the moon are: New moon Waxing crescent Quarter moon Waxing gibbous Full moon Waning gibbous Third-quarter moon Waning crescent
When the visible parts of the moon are getting smaller between new moon and full moon the shapes you see are called the what phases?
here is the order of the phases: New Moon Waxing Crescent First Quarter Waxing Gibbous Full Moon Waning Gibbous Third Quarter Waning Crescent.... and over again
What moon phase is one week after full moon?
Known as "First Quarter". The moon appears half-illuminated. If you are in the Northern Hemisphere, it is the half you see to your RIGHT. The moon rises in the east at roughly Noon, and sets in the west at roughly Midnight.
When the earth is between the sun and moon what do we see?
We see a crescent moon.
Why sometimes the moon is crescent and sometimes full?
From the question, we're not really sure of what information is being sought. No eclipse ... lunar or solar ... ever occurs when the moon is in a crescent phase. Since eclipses are the result of one body crossing through the shadow of another, and the sun is the big flashlight that's causing the shadows, eclipses only occur when the sun, earth, and moon are all lined up. That can happen either with the moon in the middle or else with the earth in the middle, and the corresponding phases are New Moon and Full Moon, respectively.
