Answer 1

Answer:

(C) After full moon day, every night the size of the bright part of the moon, illuminated by the Sun, increases.

Is the answer.

Answer 2

Answer: Option (c) is inappropriate.

Explanation:

(a) Moon does not have its own light, it is visible only by the reflection of light coming from the sun.

(b) The Earth revolves around the Sun, along with the moon.

(c) After full moon day, the moon then gradually resumes its southward motion towards the east, and its apparent size keeps getting smaller.

(d) On new moon day, the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, so the area which faces the sun is illuminated while the other half that faces the Earth is dark. So we are unable to see the moon and it appears black.
