If the earth-moon distances were greater than the earth-sun distance would an observer on the earth be able to see the moon in its first quarter phase? if your answer is yes draw a diagram showing how this could be true. if your answer is no explain why a first quarter moon would be impossible.

No, because the distance is what makes us able to see the phase now. We do not see the sun as it's true size due to it's distance, and it is huge. The moon is smaller and if it was at the same distance as the sun then we would not be able to see it hardly at all even in a full moon phase.

the answer is:

in a biology class, the teacher started explaining a new lesson about the dna structure. personally, i found this lecture hard to understand. so i decided to use my critical thinking skills to be able to understand it. i analysed the different ideas, and broke them down into smaller parts to assimilate each. then i started evaluation and tried to link what i am learning with real life experiences so that i can make sure that i know how everything i am learning relates. finally, i started questioning by researching more what i learned and asking more questions that can me through my learning process. reflecting on the information meant that i should review it. all this me greatly understand what i previously found hard to understand.

hope it !
