1. The moons position is changing as it revolves around the earth resulting in more or less reflected sunlight visible from earth

2. The suns position is changing as it revolves around the moon resulting in more or less reflected sunlight visible from earth

3. The sun, earth, and moon are all changing positions resulting in more or less reflected sunlight visible from earth

4. The earths position changes as it revolved around the moon resulting in more or less reflected sunlight visible from earth

The correct answer is: 3. The sun, earth, and moon are all changing positions resulting in more or less reflected sunlight visible from earth.
