    Explanation:

    There really isn't much to explain, but I had to have more letters to submit the answer.

  2.   the answer is: d

    Explanation:The Moon is an astronomical body orbiting Earth as its only natural satellite. It is the fifth-largest satellite in the Solar System, and by far[13] the largest among planetary satellites relative to the size of the planet that it orbits (its primary). The Moon is, after Jupiter's satellite Io, the second-densest satellite in the Solar System among those whose densities are known.

    The Moon is thought to have formed about 4.51 billion years ago, not long after Earth. The most widely accepted explanation is that the Moon formed from the debris left over after a giant impact between Earth and a hypothetical Mars-sized body called Theia. New research of Moon rocks, although not rejecting the Theia hypothesis, suggests that the Moon may be older than previously thought.[14]

    The Moon is in synchronous rotation with Earth, and thus always shows the same side to Earth, the near side. Because of libration, slightly more than half (about 59%) of the total lunar surface can be viewed from Earth.[15] The near side is marked by dark volcanic maria that fill the spaces between the bright ancient crustal highlands and the prominent impact craters. After the Sun, the Moon is the second-brightest regularly visible celestial object in Earth's sky. Its surface is actually dark, although compared to the night sky it appears very bright, with a reflectance just slightly higher than that of worn asphalt. Its gravitational influence produces the ocean tides, body tides, and the slight lengthening of the day.

  3. 1. new moon and full moon

    2. twice a month

    3. full moon

    4. rotation

    5. the moon shadow falls on Earth, and the moon is in between Earth and the Sun

    6. 27.3 days

    7. east to west

    I may be wrong idk I guessed on some

  4. About 29.5 days

    Explanation:

    It takes our Moon about 29.5 days to complete one cycle of phases (from new Moon to new Moon).

    Hope this helped!!  🙂

  5. We don't know what you mean by "lunar cycle".

    It appears at the same place in your sky every 24 hours and 50 minutes on the average.

    It revolved around the Earth every 27.32 days.

    It displays a full set of "phases" every 29.53 days.

  6. How long is the lunar cycle?

    27.3 days

    Explanation:

    It takes our Moon about 29.5 days to complete one cycle of phases
