Answer 2

Phases of the Moon occur because A. we can see only that part of the Moon which reflects light towards us.

Explanation:

• Moon is a non-luminous object. It can only reflect the sunlight.
• When we see the moon from earth, we can only see the moon portions that reflect sunlight.
• This portion varies as position of the moon changes with respect to earth and position of earth changes with respect to sun.
• The moon rotates around earth as it is tidally locked with earth.
• The boundary between darkened and lightened surface of moon is called twilight zone.
• The sunlight reflecting portion of the moon changes from 0% which is no moon to 100% which is new moon in a account of 29.53 days.
