Question

Why does the size of the moon decrease every day after the full moon day

Open in App
Solution

Dear Student

The revolution of the moon around the earth makes it appear as if it is changing its shape in the sky. From earth, we see the moon growing from a thin crescent to a full moon then contract back to a thin crescent again prior to vanishing for a few days.
