Is there a change in the shape of the moon everyday?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We see the moon because the sunlight falling on it gets reflected towards us. We see only that part of the moon from which the light of the Sun is reflected towards us. The size of the illuminated part of the moon visible from the Earth increases each day after the new moon day. After the full moon day, the sunlit part of the moon visible from the Earth decreases in size everyday.
