In these images taken a few days apart, the light part of the Moon appeared to get smaller
over time. Why did this happen? (1)
a) The Moon moved farther away from the sun so less sunlight reached the Moon's
surface.
b) Earth moved so its shadow was blocking more of the Moon so the student astronomer
was able to see less of it.
c) The Moon rotated so that less of the light-colored rock on the Moon's surface faced
Earth
d) The Moon moved so that the student astronomer was able to see less of the half that
facer the sun
