Three points on Full moon
Answers
Answer:
As seen from our vantage point on Earth, the moon is always changing. You can imagine what people in ancient times must have thought about this. We know now that the moon seems to change because its position relative to the earth and the sun changes. The transition from no moon to full moon and back again inspired many myths and legends in older times, before scientists figured out what was really happening.
A full moon occurs when one side of the moon is fully illuminated from our perspective on Earth. The sun, earth, and moon are lined up, with the earth in the middle. This positioning allows full illumination because the rays of the sun are fully and directly hitting the moon from an Earth perspective. Even with the earth in between the moon and the sun, we can still see this full illumination.
