Name the phases of the moon and write its corresponding number of transformation day.
Answer (1)
The phases of the Moon are the different shapes of the Moon as seen from Earth, caused by its orbit around our planet. There are 8 main phases, each lasting for a specific number of days in the 29.5-day lunar cycle.Phases of the Moon & Their Transformation Days:1. New Moon – Day 0The Moon is between Earth and the Sun, making it invisible.2. Waxing Crescent – Days 1-6A small, right-side crescent starts appearing.3. First Quarter – Day 7Half of the Moon is visible (right side is lit).4. Waxing Gibbous – Days 8-13More than half of the Moon is lit as it moves toward a full moon.5. Full Moon – Day 14The entire Moon is illuminated.6. Waning Gibbous – Days 15-20The Moon starts decreasing in brightness (left side is lit).7. Last Quarter (Third Quarter) – Day 21Half of the Moon is visible (left side is lit).8. Waning Crescent – Days 22-28A small crescent remains before returning to a new moon.The cycle then repeats every ~29.5 days.
