Question 5 (Multiple Choice Worth 3 points) Which of the following statements is NOT true? Only half of the moon is lit by the sun. On Earth, we can only see the lit side of the moon. Only half of the moon faces the Earth at one time. A new moon is completely shadowed by the Earth.

I think: They r both D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The first question is D, but not the second.

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

Is it true that a new moon is completely shadowed by the earth??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. A new moon is caused by the angle of the sun shining on the moon, as seen from Earth.

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

So then it would be D cuz it says NOT

OpenStudy (anonymous):
