Susan is a space scientist who made this diagram of the Moon and Earth, as seen from above (top view), with sunlight coming from the left, as shown by the arrows. Why does Susan’s diagram show that it’s bright on the left half of the Moon?
Because as the Moon gets closer to the sun more of it is lit by the sun, so Susan’s diagram is showing sunlight on half of the Moon.
Because the Moon has some lighter-colored rock and some darker-colored rock, and Susan’s diagram is showing that the half of the Moon with the lighter-colored rock has rotated to the left.
Because there is a shadow from Earth falling on half of the Moon, and Susan’s diagram is showing that shadow on the right half of the Moon.
Because Susan’s diagram is showing that the half of the Moon that is facing the sun is lit by the sun, and the other half is dark.
Astronomers made two observations of the Moon that were several days apart. Their observations are shown in the diagram above. The light part of the Moon appeared to get larger over time. Why did this happen?
Between the first observation and the second observation, the Moon rotated so that more of the light-colored rock on the Moon’s surface faced Earth.
Between the first observation and the second observation, the Moon moved so that the astronomers were able to see more of the half that faces the sun.
Between the first observation and the second observation, the Moon moved closer to the sun so more sunlight reached the Moon’s surface.
Between the first observation and the second observation, Earth moved so its shadow was blocking less of the Moon so the astronomers were able to see more of it.
The diagrams above show Earth and the Moon in different positions, as seen from above (top view). Sunlight is coming from the left, but these diagrams do not show what parts of Earth or the Moon are light or dark.
Could the half of the Moon that faces Earth ever be completely dark in any of these diagrams?
No, the Moon is always lit by the sun.

Students in a science class took photographs of the Moon that were several days apart. Images that look like their photographs are shown above. The light part of the Moon appeared to get smaller over time. Why did this happen?

Ciara believes that whenever the Moon is in the position that is shown from above (top view) in Diagram A, the Moon always looks completely dark in the view from Earth, as shown in Diagram B.
Is Ciara correct? If she is correct, explain why the Moon always looks dark from Earth in that position, and explain how she should show light on the Moon in Diagram A. If she is incorrect, explain how else the Moon can look when it is in that position.

Air Parcel 1 is the same temperature as the surrounding air. Air parcel 2 is warmer than the surrounding air. Air Parcel 1 and Air Parcel 2 started with the same amount of water vapor in them. Which air parcel will have more rainfall and why?
Both air parcels will have the same amount of rain. They have the same surrounding air temperature, so the same amount of water vapor will fall as rain.
Air Parcel 2 will gain energy from the surrounding air, which will cause more water vapor to fall as rain
Air Parcel 1 is colder than Air Parcel 2, so more water vapor will fall as rain.
Air Parcel 2 will lose energy to the surrounding air, which will cause more water vapor to fall as rain.

The air parcel was cooler than the surrounding air on Day 2, so it gained energy on Day 2 but not on Day 1.
The air parcel was warmer than the surrounding air on Day 2, so it lost energy on Day 2 but not on Day 1.
The air parcel was warmer than the surrounding air on Day 2, so it gained energy on Day 2 but not on Day 1

warmer, so when cooler air from above moved down, it lost more energy.
cooler, so the air parcel had low energy and remained near the surface.
cooler, so when the air parcel moved higher, it gained more energy.
warmer, so when the air parcel moved higher, it lost more energy.
The air temperature of Lawrence is higher than the air temperature of Norristown. What is the main cause for the different air temperatures?
There was less wind in Lawrence and more wind in Norristown. Wind moved more energy out of the air in Norristown than in Lawrence.
More energy from the sun is transferred to the ground in Lawrence than in Norristown, and that energy transferred to the air above it.
More energy from the sun is transferred to the air in Lawrence than in Norristown, and that energy is transferred from the air to the ground below it.
The heat from the center of Earth transferred more energy to the ground in Lawrence than in Norristown, and that energy transferred to the air above it.
On Day 1 and Day 2, the air parcel above San Angelo started with the same amount of water vapor in it. It rained at the end of Day 1 but it did not rain at the end of Day 2. What could have been different to cause rainfall on Day 1?
The air parcel was warmer than the surrounding air on Day 1, so it lost energy on Day 1 but not on Day 2.
The air parcel was at the same low temperature as the surrounding air on Day 1, so it had low energy on Day 1 but not on Day 2.
The air parcel was warmer than the surrounding air on Day 1, so it gained energy on Day 1 but not on Day 2.
The air parcel was cooler than the surrounding air on Day 1, so it gained energy on Day 1 but not on Day 2.
There were two rainstorms in Sinan last month. Before Storm 1, the air temperature at the surface was 21°C. Before Storm 2, the air temperature at the surface was 29°C. The temperature of areas surrounding Sinan was the same before both storms. There was the same amount of water vapor in the air parcels before both storms. Which storm is likely to have had more rainfall?
Storm 1. The air parcel at the surface was cooler and had less energy, so with low energy it remained near the surface.
Storm 2. The air parcel at the surface was warmer and had more energy, so when it moved higher, it lost more energy.
Storm 1. The air parcel at the surface was cooler and had less energy, so when it moved higher, it gained more energy.
Storm 2. The air parcel at the surface was warmer and had more energy, so when cooler air from above came down, it lost more energy.

The town of Kokomo had two rainstorms in November. Storm 1 had more rainfall than Storm 2. The temperature of the surrounding areas was the same before both storms.
What could explain why Storm 1 had more rainfall than Storm 2? Before Storm 1, the air parcel at the surface could have been:
warmer, so when cooler air from above moved down, it lost more energy.
warmer, so when the air parcel moved higher, it lost more energy.
cooler, so the air parcel had low energy and remained near the surface.
cooler, so when the air parcel moved higher, it gained more energy.
