No. The moon is the same size as the earth. We just see it the way we so because of the distance between them.

What is the definition for a third quarter moon?

A third quarter moon is when the moon has made it three quarters around the Earth during a lunar month (starting from new moon). The third quarter moon phase somes in between Full moon and New moon - meaning that it is a waning "half moon". A third quarter moon rises at midnight and sets around noon.


Are the forces between Earth and the Moon a Newtonian third law pair?

Yes, the forces between Earth and the Moon follow Newton's third law. The Earth exerts a gravitational force on the Moon, and in return, the Moon exerts an equal but opposite gravitational force on the Earth.


Is the force exerted by the Moon on Earth equal to the force exerted by the Earth on Moon?

Yes for every action there will be an EQUAL and opposite reaction. This is Newton's third law


What is he position of the sun earth and the moon during a quarter phase?

During a quarter phase of the Moon, either the first or third quarter, the Earth, Moon, and Sun are positioned at approximately right angles to each other. In the first quarter phase, the Moon is located between the Earth and the Sun, while in the third quarter phase, the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun. This positioning causes half of the Moon's surface to be illuminated and visible from Earth, creating the characteristic half-moon appearance.


What phase of the moon occurs between the third quarter and the new moon?

The phase of the moon that occurs between the third quarter and the new moon is the waning crescent. During this phase, the illuminated part of the moon visible from Earth decreases until it eventually becomes a new moon with no visible illumination.
