Question

which phase of the moon is seen when the moon is located between earth and the sun? (1 point) gibbous new moon full moon crescent

Explanation:

To determine the moon phase when the moon is between Earth and the sun, we analyze each option:

• Gibbous: Occurs when more than half the moon is illuminated, not when between Earth and sun.
• New moon: Happens when the moon is between Earth and sun, so the side facing Earth is unilluminated (we see little to no moon).
• Full moon: Occurs when Earth is between moon and sun, so the moon's full face is illuminated.
• Crescent: A thin sliver of the moon is visible, not when the moon is between Earth and sun.

So the correct phase is new moon.

Answer:

B. new moon
