A student astronomer went out and took photographs of the Moon that were several days apart. Images that look like her photographs are shown above. The light part of the Moon appeared to get smaller over time.

Why did the light part of the moon appear to get smaller over time?

• Between the photographs, the Moon moved farther away from the sun so less sunlight reached the Moon’s surface.

• Between the photographs, Earth moved so its shadow was blocking more of the Moon so the student astronomer was able to see less of it.

• Between the photographs, the Moon rotated so that less of the light-colored rock on the Moon’s surface faced Earth.

• Between the photographs, the Moon moved so that the student astronomer was able to see less of the half that faces the sun.
