The moon orbits the Earth every month and as it does so, we see different parts of the moon lit up by the sun, which causes the moon to go through 'phases'.
No, wax is not an electrolyte. Electrolytes are substances that conduct electricity when dissolved in water or molten form, while wax is a non-conductive material.
Yes, candle wax does dissolve in ethanol. Ethanol is a good solvent for many organic compounds, including wax. It can break down the wax molecules and create a solution when mixed together.
The reason why water makes a (more or less) spherical shape on wax paper rather than just spreading out into a thin layer, is that water has a greater attraction to itself, than it does to wax paper. Water's self-attracting property is known as surface tension.
No, electricity cannot travel through wax as it is an insulator. Insulators such as wax do not conduct electricity and therefore do not allow electric current to pass through them.
A wave is created when energy is transferred through a medium, causing a disturbance that propagates in a repeating pattern. This disturbance can be in the form of oscillations of particles or fields. Waves carry energy and information without physically displacing matter over long distances.
The revolving of the earth and the rotating of the moon.
wax and wane
rise set wax wane
During the time at sea, the sailors saw the moon wax and wane three times.
The opposite of the archaic term "wax" (increase, as in size) is wane.The terms are still used to refer to the phases of the Moon, where a waxing moon is increasing in illuminated area, a waning moon is decreasing.
The opposite of to wax is to wane. Wax means to grow and wane means to diminish
That completely depends on when you start watching it. The question is like asking: "Does it get light or dark outside first ?"
It's the earth shadow
Yes, it does. There is a full earth, a new earth, and all the phases. One difference is that at one point or another, every part of the earth's surface is visible from the earth-side face of the moon.
It takes about two weeks for the moon to wax from a new moon to a full moon. During this time, the visible portion of the moon increases each night until it reaches full illumination.

"To wax and wane" is literally "croître et décroître," but it could also be translated many other ways, depending on the context. Here are just a few other possibilities: grandir, pour ensuite diminuer; changer; évoluer; fluctuer. "Wax and wane" can also be a nominal phrase. Example: the wax and wane of power => les fluctuations du pouvoir.
