The Moon appears a lot smaller (which it is) when viewed from the Earth.
When the moon is growing larger?
It is called Waxing! _________________________ The Moon is always the same size. What we see increasing is the lighted part of the nearside of the Moon. When it is increasing, we call it "waxing"; when we see it decreasing, the word "waning" is used.
Reason for the increase and decrease in the size of the moon?
First: the Moon's actual size does not change.The Moon's APPARENT size changes because its orbit around the Earth is not a perfect circle; some times it's closer than others, so it appears larger. When its perigee (when it's closest to Earth) occurs near a full moon, it's called a "supermoon", and can appear noticeably larger than normal. (Perigee occurs about once a month, but it's less noticeable when it happens at a time other than full moon.)
Moon decresing in size during the phases?
I'm assuming that you are intending to ask, "What is the decreasing moon phase called?" When the moon is getting smaller, it's referred to as "waning". When the moon is increasing in size, it's referred to as "waxing".
From the earth the moon always looks approxamitley the same size what can you conclude from this about the orbit of the moon around the earth?
Maybe it appears to be of same size to naked eyes, but actually Moon's orbit around Earth is not perfectly round but is oval or elliptical in shape. As the Moon orbits our planet, it's distance varies from about 221,000 to 252,000 miles. This 13% variation in the Moon's distance makes the Moon's apparent size in our sky vary by the same amount
Current moon is called honeymoon. Why?
