This engaging quiz challenges students to visually quizIdentify different moon phases, testing their understanding of lunar cycles and satellite movement. Participants will distinguish between waxing and waning, as well as crescent and gibbous phases, all within a 30-second time limit per question. This medium-difficulty quiz is designed to enhance students' grasp of the moon's phases and their ability to recognize these celestial patterns.
