Felicia lives in China. Her cousin lives in New York. Felicia sees the moon is a waxing gibbeous. Would Felicia's cousin see the same phase of the moon in China?(1 point)
Responses
No, becuase the phase of the moon changes as the earth rotates.
No, becuase the phase of the moon changes as the earth rotates.
No, because as the earth rotates, the phases of the moon change.
No, because as the earth rotates, the phases of the moon change.
Yes, because the phase of the moon does not change as the earth rotates.
Yes, because the phase of the moon does not change as the earth rotates.
Yes, because the moon rotates around the earth.
No, because the phase of the moon changes as the earth rotates.
All of the objects in earth's sky are in motion. The sun, moon and earth all rotate, or spin, around their own axes. The earth revolves, or moves around, the sun while the moon revolves around the earth. The length of rotations and revolutions vary. One revolution of the earth around the sun takes one year. One revolution of the moon around the earth takes approximately 28 days. The length of one rotation of the moon is the same as the length of one revoluation of the moon and that is why we only see one side of the moon!(5 points)

To understand why Felicia's cousin in New York would not see the same phase of the moon, we need to consider how the moon's phase changes. The moon revolves around the Earth, completing one orbit in approximately 29.5 days. As it moves around the Earth, different portions of the moon are illuminated by the sun, creating the different phases we observe from Earth.
When Felicia sees the moon as a waxing gibbous, it means that more than half of the visible portion of the moon is illuminated by the sun, and the illuminated portion is increasing in size. However, as the Earth rotates on its axis, the relative positions of China and New York change, causing different parts of the Earth to face the moon at different times. Therefore, since the moon's phase changes as the Earth rotates, Felicia's cousin in New York would see a different phase of the moon at the same time.
