Hoon2. in words, describe how the changing positions of the sun, moon, and earthleadthe different moon phases.

As the Sun sets, the moon rises with the tide that faces the Earth fully exposed to sunlight. The moon has phases because of its orbit to Earth which causes the portion we see illuminated to change. The new moon occurs when the moon is positioned  between the earth and the sun. at full moon and third quarter or called as the half moon, it happens when the moon is at a 90 degree angle with respect to the earth and the sun. crescent refers to the moon that is less than half illuminated by the sun. gibbous refers to more than half illuminated by the sun. waxing means growing or expanding in illumination and waning means shrinking or decreasing in illumination.

yes it is balanced

  the   balanced   equation   for   reaction of   ca metal   with   o2 to   produce   cao   is as below

2 ca+ o2→ 2 cao2

  explanation

the reaction is   balanced     since the   number of atoms   in reactant side is   equal to   number of atoms   in   product side.   for   example   they   are 2   atom of   ca in   reactant   side   and   2   atoms of ca   in   the product side.

  the   process   is a   meet the   requirement   of   redox   reaction because :     calcium   is   oxidized   from   oxidation state 0   to 2+   while   oxygen   is reduced from   oxidation   state   0   to 2-
