Question

27 multiple choice 1 point if the moon is waxing, how does its appearance change each night? the moon stays the same. the moon appears to grow bigger. the moon appears to shrink.

Explanation:

To answer this, we recall the definition of a waxing moon. A waxing moon phase is when the visible portion of the Moon (the illuminated part as seen from Earth) increases over time. So each night during a waxing phase, the Moon appears to grow bigger. The option "The Moon stays the same" is incorrect as the Moon's visible phase changes. "The Moon appears to shrink" describes a waning moon, not waxing.

Answer:

B. The Moon appears to grow bigger. (assuming the middle option is labeled B; if the options are ordered as given, the second option: "The Moon appears to grow bigger")
