After the half-moon phase the moon's lighted side appears to grow smaller every night or begins to what?
When the moon appears to grow smaller, we say it "wanes". Conversely, when it gets bigger, we say it "waxes".
What can you say about the amount of lighted area from phases of the moon 1 to 5?
New Moon, Waxing Crescent Moon, First Quarter Moon, Waxing Gibbous Moon, Full Moon.
What happens to the moon when its a half-moon?
The moon is only visible because of the sun's light, which is why the moon appears to glow. When there is a half moon, only half of the moon is reflecting off the sun's light. It all has to do with the angle of the moon, the sun, and the Earth, which is why the moon has so many different phases.
Day after day you see more and more of the lit side of the moon you say the moon is?
Waxing
When day after day you see less and less of the lit side of the moon you say the moon is?
its called a waning
Waxing period when more than one-quarter but less than half of the lighted side of the Moon's surface can be seen?
I know everything about moon's cause I am a science teacher and this answer is "MARIA". ============================================= No comment. "Say it loud and there's music playing, say it soft ..." etc. If you read the question with extra care, it seems to have confused the portion of the month and the illuminated portion of the moon's visible side. The strict letter of the question describes the second half of the waxing crescent phase, from 3.7 days until 7.4 days after each New Moon. But I don't think that's what it was aiming for. I think the question is intending to describe the "waxing gibbous" phase, seen during roughly the second week after each New Moon.
What does it mean when you say the moon has been waxing?
If the moon is growing it is waxing. If the moon is shrinking it is waning.
How do the Product Works Peanuts Lighted Window Decorations mount?
It does not say how it will mount.
Is the dark side of the Moon cold?
Well, the dark side of the Moon is where it is nighttime, not the "far" side. Like on Earth, nighttime on the Moon is always moving round and around the globe.When it is night time on the moon and we can see it, it's called a New Moon.When it is daytime on the moon and we can see it, it's called a Full Moon.So, the part of the Moon that is dark or nighttime is very cold . . . say about -238 degrees, F. The part of the Moon that is in daytime is hot. There is no atmosphere on the Moon to hold in heat at night, or filter the Sun's heat during the day.
Is there any life in moon or any place?
Since there is no evidence and we can't go on the "dark side" of the moon (we would die!!). we can't say yes or no so it is a mystery. :)
Are the moon phases waning when they are growing in size?
When the moon phase is "waning" then it is not growing. It is better to say that the lit side of the moon is receding from view. Then, when the moon phase is "waxing" the lit side of the moon is coming into view. I like to remember this by saying that "waxing" means that the moon is "filling up with wax". This is only a way of remembering the naming scheme. Also, if your "energy" is "waning" then you are feeling tired. Thus waning is the decrease of something. In this case, the proportion of the lit vs unlit side of the moon in view is decreasing.
What is the cause of a phase?
The moon orbits around the earth, therefore it constantly moves into a different location. Each time the moon moves, sunlight will shine on a different portion of the moon. When the moon is in between the earth and the sun, we will see the "dark side" of the moon (a new moon) since there is no light shining on the side we can see from earth. The visible side is facing the sun. When the earth is in between the sun and the moon (not directly in between), we will see a full moon because the sunlight has access to light up the entire face of the moon that we can see. Technically, there is always a "full moon" because one face of the moon is always lit up. We just say that the moon has different phases because we can't always see the fully-lit up side from the earth.
