Answer 1

Hey mate here's your answer.

The moon will be (b) smaller than tonight because if we look at the phases of moon,then according to that in the first 15 days the moon will convert to full moon from New moon and in the next 15 days the moon changes from full to new. So if today is 19st December and the 24th December is full moon day then the size of the moon will look smaller on 21th December because the size of the moon becomes full to new during the last 15 days of the month. The moon on 21th December will be crescent shaped.

Hope it helps.
