What else can I help you with?
What phase is the moon in when its 3 o'clock in the afternoon?
Impossible to answer considering the phase change change on a day to day basis.
Does the moon's actual shape change when the phase changes?
no.
Why does the Moon's face sometimes change even though it is the same side?
We are only seeing a portion of the illuminated area when the phase is not a Full Moon phase.
How long does it take the moon to complete an entire phase change?
It takes about 29.5 days for the moon to complete an entire phase change cycle, which includes all the phases from new moon to full moon and back to new moon. This period is known as a lunar month or synodic month.
What is the average time it takes for the moon to go through one phase?
It normally takes a week to change a phase
How long does it take the moon to go through one compleate phase change?
29.5 days from new moon to new moon.
Which phase of the moon is the dark phase of the Moon?
New Moon.
Why does the angular distance from the moon change during each phase cycle?
because the moon is rotaing around earth
Why does the moon change it's phases as the month progress?
The phase of the moon you see depends on how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces earth.
Which phase of the Moon comes immediately before the new Moon phase?
The phase of the Moon that comes immediately before the new Moon phase is the waning crescent phase.
Would we see lunar phases if the moon did not rotate while it orbits earth?
Yes, it doesn't matter that the Moon rotates on its axis, that makes no difference to the phase. The phase only depends on the relative positions of the Sun, Earth and Moon.
Which phase of the moon follows the warning gibbous phase?
The phase of the moon that follows the waning gibbous phase is the third quarter phase. During this phase, half of the moon is illuminated, and it appears as a half-moon. The third quarter occurs roughly a week after the full moon and signifies the moon's transition towards the new moon phase.
