Maria went outside and made
two observations of the Moon
that were several days apart.
Her observations are shown in
the diagram above. The light
part of the Moon appeared to
get larger over time. Why did
this happen?Screen Shot 2023-03-30 at 1.21.08 PM.png
Group of answer choices
Between the first observation and the second observation, the Moon moved so that Maria was able to see more of the half that faces the sun.
Between the first observation and the second observation, Earth moved so its shadow was blocking less of the Moon so Maria was able to see more of it.
Between the first observation and the second observation, the Moon rotated so that more of the light-colored rock on the Moon’s surface faced Earth.
Between the first observation and the second observation, the Moon moved closer to the sun so more sunlight reached the Moon’s surface.
