4
6
8
10
Which moon phase has less than half of the right side visible?
waning crescent
first quarter
waxing gibbous
waxing crescent
Are these moon phases in the correct order?
yes
no
If you look into the sky at night and you can't see any moon at all it means the moon is in a new moon phase.
true
false

2
3
4
5
Which moon phase occurs between a last quarter and new moon phase?
first quarter
waxing crescent
full moon
waning crescent
Besides the moon's revolution around the Earth what is the other reason we see the moon phases?
the moon is half illuminated
the moon is fully illuminated
the Earth is tilted on it's axis
the moon's orbit is tilted
Which type of eclipse occurs when the moon is between the Earth and the Sun?
partial
total
lunar
solar
Why don't solar and lunar eclipses occur every new and full moon phase?
The moon is very small and casts a small shadow.
The moon's orbit is tilted about 5°.
Because eclipses occur during the first and last quarter moon phases.
The Earth is tilted on it's axis.
Why do lunar eclipses occur more frequently than solar eclipses?
Because of the size of the Sun.
The Moon goes around the Earth faster than the Earth goes around the Sun.
The Earth's shadow is larger than the Moon's shadow
