Warming **Phases of the Moon**This educational image depicts the different phases of the Moon in relation to the Earth and the Sun. It is a useful visual aid for understanding the lunar cycle. - **Central Elements**: The diagram has the Earth at the center and the Sun at the far right. The Moon is shown orbiting the Earth in four distinct positions labeled I, II, III, and IV.- **Position I**: Here, the Moon is shown between the Earth and the Sun. This position usually represents the New Moon phase, where the side of the Moon facing Earth is not illuminated.- **Position II**: The Moon has moved a quarter of the way around Earth. This is typically associated with the First Quarter phase, where half of the Moon is illuminated from Earth's perspective.- **Position III**: Now, the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. This represents the Full Moon phase, where the side of the Moon facing Earth is fully illuminated.- **Position IV**: The Moon has completed three-quarters of its orbit around Earth. This corresponds to the Last Quarter phase, where again half of the Moon is illuminated, but the opposite half compared to the First Quarter.Understanding these positions helps explain why the Moon looks different at various times during its orbit around the Earth.
