Tip 1: Find out which moon is growing or decreasing



The Earth Observer can notice from day to daychange the shape of the illuminated part of the moon. It goes through several stages: from the new moon it grows to the full moon, then it decreases. There are several methods by which you can determine whether it increases or decreases.





How to know which moon is growing or decreasing


















Instructions





1


Look at the shape of the moon. If it appears as a bright circular disk (full moon), it means that the Moon is on the side of the Earth opposite to the Sun. When the Moon is located between the Sun and the Earth, it is not visible (new moon). Between these two points it goes through the phases of growth and decrease, taking the form from a thin sickle to a full circle and vice versa. The curved edge of the shadow separates the illuminated and dark parts of the moon's surface. If the right edge of the lunar disk is flat and bright, and the left edge is dark, uneven, then the moon is in the growth stage. If on the contrary - the moon is decreasing.





2


Form from the thumb and forefingerright hand a semicircle resembling a lunar crescent. Do the same with the left hand. Try to catch the moon, so that it fits into the shape of the semicircle of one of your hands. If it fits into the right hand, it grows, if in the left hand it decreases. For most people, the right hand is working, so it can be associated with the growth of the moon.





3


Pay attention to the view of the lunar crescent. What letter does it look like? If the crescent moon in shape resembles the letter "C", then the moon is aging, decreasing. But if it is turned in the opposite direction and when adding an imaginary stick it resembles the letter "P", then the moon is growing. Like this method, there is also a DOC rule with the use of the Latin alphabet. Each letter is also associated with the shape of the moon. This rule is convenient for its sequence for memorizing the lunar phases: D - growth, O - full moon, C - decrease.





4


Watch the time of the moon in the sky. If it appeared early in the evening or at dusk after sunset, it means it is growing. But if it is seen in the morning at dawn, it decreases.





5


In the southern hemisphere, people see the moon differently than in theNorth, but as if in a mirror image. Therefore, determining the stage of growth or decrease of the moon in its form, consider the rules on the contrary: "C" - growing, "P" - aging. However, this method does not work at the equator, since the moon has a horizontal position in the form of a letter U or inverted U.
