Question

Which is the phase of the moon which is a full bright view of the moon, where the moon is almost perfect round in shape?

A.

Gibbous moon

B.

Full moon

C.

Crescent moon

D.

New moon

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) Full moon.
· The Full Moon phase is when the moon appears as a complete, bright, and perfectly round disk in the sky.
· This occurs when the Earth is positioned directly between the sun and the moon, allowing the entire face of the moon to be illuminated by the sun’s light.
· This phase is a result of the moon's orbit around the Earth, and it happens once every lunar cycle, approximately every 29.5 days.
· The lunar cycle consists of eight distinct phases: New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, and Waning Crescent.
· Lunar eclipses can only occur during the full moon phase when the Earth’s shadow falls on the moon.
Additional Knowledge :
· Gibbous moon: This phase occurs when the moon is more than half illuminated but not yet full. It appears before and after the full moon.
· Crescent moon: This phase shows a sliver of the moon's surface lit up, occurring right before the new moon or just after it.
· New moon: In this phase, the moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun, making it invisible from Earth as its illuminated side faces away.
