on the 10 the of may in 2011 the moon was a bright red quarter moon.
A polygon is a two dimensional shape bounded by straight lines. The moon is neither a plane shape (though it may appear as such), and it is clearly not bounded by straight sides.
No. The phases of the Moon are independent of the weather. However, if there are clouds, you may not be able to SEE the Moon. But it's still there.
The moon is not changing it's shape!
That would apply to just about any small moon. Larger moons will have a round shape.
The shape of the bright image of the moon changes for that very reason. At times the remaining dark part may be faintly illuminated due to sunlight or moonlight reflected from the Earth to the Moon (and back to the observer). The actual shape of the Moon is not known to be affected by light.
The duration of Shape of the Moon is 1.82 hours.
The general term for the visible lit part of the moon is "the phase of the moon." The visible lit portion can have a crescent shape, a gibbous shape or a "half-moon" (half circle) shape.
No. An oval is a 2-dimensional shape. The moon is 3-dimensional.
a moon wow
Shape of the Moon was created on 2004-11-24.
The moon is roughly a sphere, just like the earth.During the moon's phases it may appear to be either a circle, crescent, half-circle, or other shape (called gibbous). This is caused by the shadow of the earth covering the moon by differing amounts at different times during the month, not by the moon actually changing shape.
Technically, the shape of the moon never changes. What changes is what we saw on Earth. The shape we see depends on the alignment of the Moon, Earth, and Sun.
