New Moon
It is Umbra: When a lunar eclipse occurs the Moon passes directly behind the Earth into its umbra (shadow).
When the moon is between the earth and the sun it blocks part or all of the view of the sun and it's called a solar eclipse
The part of the body where one cannot reach to scratch is called the acnestis.
When the lighted part of the moon grows it is a "waxing moon".
The lessening of the illumninated part of the Moon is called "waning" (decreasing). The phases included are waning gibbous (more than 50%), last quarter, waning crescent (less than 50%), and finally the new moon.
That is the new moon phase.
That configuration is known as the "New Moon" phase.
The phase of the moon where no part of it is visible is called a "new moon." This phase occurs when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, making it appear completely dark from our perspective on Earth.
the darkest part of the moon's shadow is called the umbra
The darkest part of the moon is called the Umbra. That is the darkest not the largest.
It is called a waxing moon.
It is called a waxing moon.
it is called waxing. when the lighted part of moon starts growing bigger till it becomes from a new moon to a full moon it is called waxing.
crescent moon. when the lit part of the moon is to the left it is called Waning Crescent Moon and when the lit part of the moon is to the right it is called Waxing Crescent Moon
It is called the umbra just like the dark part of the shawdow. Hope I helped!!
a full moon
This is what causes the so-called "phases" of the moon: although fully half of the moon is lighted, we can only see part of the lighted part. A person on earth hardly ever sees all of the lighted side of the moon. When he does, he calls the sight a "full moon."
