Question

Identify the waxing sequence of the Moon.

• A. C – D – E – F - G
  
• B. A – B – C – D - E
  
• C. E – D – C – B - A
  
• D. E – D – C – B - A
  

Answer 1

The correct option is A C – D – E – F - G


Waxing phase is the phase in which the size of the Moon grows gradually.
So, we need to begin with a new moon and end with a full moon.
But the increase in the size happens from the left to the right side of the Moon due to its rotation and revolution around the Earth.
So, the sequence will be C to G in an anticlockwise direction here.
With C - New Moon, D - Waxing Crescent, E - First Quarter, F - Waxing Gibbous, and G - Full Moon.
