In the overhead diagram, what phase is shown when the Moon is at letter D?
From a U.S. location, read the Earth-view Moon disc. Which phase is shown?
The Earth-view disc shows the Moon as seen from a U.S. location. Which phase is shown?
Look at the Earth-view Moon disc. What phase does it show?
Read the Earth-view disc from a U.S. sky view. Which phase is represented?

Starting from the phase shown, which phase will be seen about seven nights later?
The figure shows tonight's Moon. About seven nights from now, which phase comes next?
Use the disc sketch for tonight. About seven nights later, what phase should the student expect?

Starting from the phase shown, what phase is expected about one week later?
Compare the two Moon discs sketched three nights apart from left to right. What trend is shown?
The two Earth-view sketches are in time order from left to right. What is happening to the Moon's phase?
A student drew the two discs in order on nights several days apart. Which description fits the change?
Two Moon sketches from the same U.S. observer are shown in time order. What do they show?
The paired sketches show the Moon on two different nights. How should the change be described?
Look at the two discs drawn in chronological order. Which statement describes the phase change?
The figure shows two sketches from the same observer, several nights apart. What trend do they show?
The model shows sunlight striking half of the Moon at every orbital position. What causes the phases seen from Earth?
The figure shows the Moon's shadow reaching Earth at new moon. Why does this not happen at every new moon?
The figure shows Earth between the Sun and Moon with a shadow cone. Which event uses Earth's shadow, unlike ordinary phases?
The phase cycle shown repeats from one new moon to the next in about how much time?
The Moon orbits Earth in about 27.3 days, but the phase cycle is about 29.5 days. What explains the difference?
The figure shows the same half of the Moon lit by the Sun in space. What is moonlight?
The diagram shows the Moon in four main phase positions. Which term names one full cycle of phases?
In the model, the Moon is always half lit, yet the Earth-view disc changes. Which statement best explains this?

A Moon rises around sunset and sets around sunrise. Which phase fits that observing pattern?
A Moon is seen low in the western sky shortly after sunset. Which phase is most likely?
