Why the transition phases of moon - from New Moon to Full Moon and vice versa except during half moon has Concave or Convex inner edges and not a flat inner edge?
The sunshine on the moon appears convex, straight (flat), or concave depending upon your vantage point. It is always the same porportion on the moon, but it looks differently because of the position of the Sun, Earth, and Moon at different times of the month. If you take a volleyball in a dark area, and shine a flashlight on the side of it, moving the ball and the light around will reproduce the moon phase effect, and give you a practical understanding of it.
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.
When the sunlit part of the moon we can see from earth appears to get smaller what does it do?
When the sunlit part of the moon we see from Earth appears to get smaller, the moon is transitioning from a full moon to a new moon phase, specifically moving through the waning phases. This occurs as the moon orbits Earth, causing the illuminated portion to decrease from our perspective. The visible light from the sun reflects off the moon's surface, and as the angle changes, less of the illuminated side is visible to us. This phenomenon is part of the lunar cycle, which lasts about 29.5 days.
What are the different moon phases with the sun on the left side?
Oh, you're curious about the beautiful dance between the sun and the moon, how nice. When the sun casts its light on the left side of the moon, we call that a waxing crescent moon. As time passes, you might see the moon growing bigger to a first quarter moon and then to a waxing gibbous moon. Remember, observing these phases in nature can fill your heart with wonder and tranquility.
Why does the moon phases change a certain day?
The moon changes phases as it orbits the Earth. The phase is due to the varying shadow that the Earth casts on the surface of the moon. When the Earth completely blocks the Sun, it is a new moon.
The line which separates the Moon's brightly sunlit portion from the rest of the disk?
The Terminator is the line which separates a planet or moon's brightly sunlit portion from the portion in shadow.
When the sunlit parts of the moon is growing that is called?
This is referred to as ''waxing''.
Why isn't earthshine apparent during the gibbous lunar phases?
The sunlit side of the moon drowns out the Earthshine from the "dark side" of the moon and the gibbous moon is mainly above the horizon during the nighttime hours, so Earthshine is almost never seen on a gibbous moon.
Why is the same side of the moon viewed from the earth as the moon goes through its phases?
because the Moon always has 1/2 sunlit.
Why is the same side of the moon viewed from earth as the moon goes through is phases?
because the Moon always has 1/2 sunlit.

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.
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.
As the moon moves around the earth what does an observer on earth see?
He sees the phases of the moon. A varying amount of the sunlit surface is visible as the moon goes through its phases, having increased or decreased illumination with a curved boundary.
What the changing in appearance of the moon as viewed from the earth due to the relative positions of the moon earth and sun?
Phases, a phase depends on how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces.
How do you classify the moon phases?
Generally speaking, if you live in the Northern Hemisphere, the sunlit portion of the moon will move from right to left (i.e. a first quarter moon will look like a capital D and a third quarter moon will look like a reverse capital D). In the Southern Hemisphere, the sunlit portion of the moon will move from left to right (the first and third quarter moons will be lit on the opposite sides as when viewed from the Northern Hemisphere). In countries near the equator, it is a lot harder to ascertain waxing and waning moon phases but the first quarter moon will look like a lowercase n when it rises and an uppercase u when it sets, likewise the third quarter moon will look like an uppercase u when it rises and a lowercase n when it sets.
What portion of the ocean is photosynthesis confined to?
Photosynthesis in the ocean primarily occurs in the upper sunlit layer called the euphotic zone, which typically extends to about 200 meters deep. This zone receives enough sunlight for photosynthetic organisms like phytoplankton to convert carbon dioxide and nutrients into organic matter. Below this depth, sunlight is limited, restricting photosynthesis.
