When the moon is completely lit up what is it called?
When the moon is completely lit up, it is called a full moon. This occurs when the Earth is between the sun and the moon, causing the moon's entire sunlit side to be visible from Earth.
What are the shapes of the moon sunlit portions called?
The shapes of the moon's sunlit portions are called phases. The main phases include the new moon, crescent, first quarter, gibbous, full moon, and their corresponding waning phases. These phases result from the relative positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun, which change as the Moon orbits the Earth.
The sunlit fraction of the moon that you can see from the earth is getting larger?
This indicates that the moon is waxing, meaning it is transitioning from a new moon to a full moon. As the days progress, more of the moon's sunlit side becomes visible from Earth.
What do you call it when the moon changes its shape?
The apparent change in the sunlit portion of the moon through the month is called waxing (getting larger, from crescent through full) or waning (getting smaller, from full down to crescent).
When the moon is more than half full but less than completely half is called?
When the moon is more than half full but less than completely full, it is called a "gibbous" moon. Specifically, if it is approaching full, it is referred to as a "waxing gibbous" moon. If it is receding from full, it is called a "waning gibbous" moon. This phase occurs between the first quarter and full moon phases.
After the full moon you see less and less of the sunlit side?
After the full moon, we see less and less of the sunlit side.

This is referred to as ''waxing''.

How Moon phase when lit portion of the moon becomes smaller?
The moon phase when the lit portion of the moon appears to become smaller is called the "waning" phase. This occurs after the full moon, as the illuminated portion decreases from full to new moon. Specifically, the period from full moon to the last quarter is known as the waning gibbous, and the transition from last quarter to new moon is referred to as the waning crescent. During these phases, we see less of the sunlit side of the moon from Earth.
What does a full moon symbolize?
A full moon occurs when the earth, moon, and sun are in approximate alignment, but the moon is on the opposite side of the earth, so the entire sunlit part of the moon is facing earth.
When the moon is more than half full but less than completely half is called?
When the moon is more than half full but less than completely full, it is called a "gibbous" moon. Specifically, if it is approaching full, it is referred to as a "waxing gibbous" moon. If it is receding from full, it is called a "waning gibbous" moon. This phase occurs between the first quarter and full moon phases.
What is it called when the sunlit fraction of the moon that we can see from earth is getting larger?
It is the waxing phase of the moon.
What phase of the moon occurs when all of the moons near side is sunlit?
During the New moon, the lighted side of the Moon is the OTHER side, the side we never see.
What is the LV reading of a full moon?
The same as DLV or Day Light Value! If you want to photograph the sunlit portion of the Moon use the same shutter speed you would use shooting a normal sunlit daytime scene.
