What else can I help you with?
If the moon were larger would you still see the moon phases?
Yes, you would still see the moon phases because they are caused by the changing angles of sunlight hitting the surface of the moon as it orbits Earth. The size of the moon does not affect the appearance of these phases.
Is the moon an angular distance from the sun increasing or decreasing during waning phases?
During the waning phases of the moon, the angular distance from the Sun is generally increasing. This is because, as the moon transitions from a full moon to a new moon, it moves away from the Sun in the sky, resulting in greater angular separation. Consequently, the waning phases reflect the moon's orbit around Earth, causing this increasing angular distance.
What is the name of a moon growing?
The term for the moon growing (or appearing to in phases) is waxing.
What do you call the phases of the moon in which part is appearing or disappearing?
The phases of the moon where part of it is appearing or disappearing are called waxing and waning phases. Waxing refers to the period when the illuminated portion of the moon is increasing, while waning refers to the period when the illuminated portion is decreasing.
What is it said to be when the moon appears to be decreasing in size?
When the moon appears to be decreasing in size, it is called waning. When the moon appears to be increasing in size, it is called waxing.
What's the word for when the moon phases are growing in size?
When the phases of the moon are increasing in size, we say that the moon is "waxing". After a full moon and the moon seems to be diminishing, we say that's "waning". (Rhymes with raining)
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".

The waxing phases of the moon are immediately followed by?
In the "waxing" phases, the amount of the Moon illuminated by the Sun is increasing. When the Moon is fully illuminated it is "full", and after that it begins to "wane" or decrease in brightness. The the Moon is new, and is invisible, and the endless cycle begins again.
What do you call the phases of the moon in which part is appearing or disappearing?
The phases of the moon where part of it is appearing or disappearing are called waxing and waning phases. Waxing refers to the period when the illuminated portion of the moon is increasing, while waning refers to the period when the illuminated portion is decreasing.
What is the change called when the moon phases go from the full moon to the new moon?
A decrease in the illuminated portion of the Moon is called waning. When the illuminated portion is increasing, it is called waxing.
What is it said to be when the moon appears to be decreasing in size?
When the moon appears to be decreasing in size, it is called waning. When the moon appears to be increasing in size, it is called waxing.
What is the gibbous?
A gibbous moon is one of the phases of the Moon, when the size of the illuminated portion is greater than half but not a full Moon.
Another word for stages of the moon?
The stages of the Moon, are referred to as the 'Phases of the Moon'.
Is the moon growing?
No, the moon is not growing in size. Its appearance changes due to different phases caused by the position of the sun, Earth, and moon relative to each other.
