If its a quarter phase moon from the earth,what phase earth would it be from the moon?

Question

Why?

Answer 1

Whatever part of the moon is seen as lit from the earth, the earth is seen as lit in the complement from the moon. That is if the moon appears 1/3 lit, the earth will appear 2/3 lit. If the moon is full, the earth is dark. Etc. So, since a quarter moon is half lit, the earth being half lit as well will be in a quarter phase. The 3rd quarter because while the moon would be waxing, the Earth will appear to be waning.

Answer 2

The phases would always be the opposite, so if it's a new moon here on Earth, it'd be a "full Earth" on the moon. A full moon on Earth would mean a "new Earth" on the moon, and of course a first quarter moon on Earth would mean a "third quarter Earth" on the moon! I'll let you figure out the last one! :)

Answer 3

Earth phases are directly opposite the Moon phase. Whatever's dark becomes light.

Answer 4

Moon ranges at the instant are not led to by using Earth's Shadow.this is through its own shadow and its changing place from earth which shows diverse factors of the illuminated 50% to wards us. Lunar eclipse is under earths shadow.

Answer 5

How can we answer that if none of us lives on the moon?

Sorry, couldn't resist. I'd say if the moon was in first quarter earth would appear in last quarter depending on the location of the moon in it's orbit or the way the sun's light hits the earth.

Answer 6

Earth would be in darkness since the Moon would be in-line with the Sun's light and the Earth would be between the Sun and the Moon, directly in the path of oncoming light.

Answer 7

if you refering 1/4 of a new moon probably youll see dark side of earth
