Susan made the following diagram shown to represent some phases of the moon as seen from earth. why is susan's diagram of the phases of the moon incorrect? -first quarter moon should be between the sun and earth. - third quarter moon should be between the sun and earth. - the position of the full moon and new moon have been interchanged. -the position of the first quarter moon and third quarter moon have been interchanged.

The correct answer is option the position of the full moon and new moon have been interchanged.

Explanation:

The moon orbits the Earth and does not have its own light but it reflects the rays of the Sun which fall on it due to which the moon is seen in 8 phases from the Earth as sunlight falls on it.  

A new moon is a primary phase which is not seen from the planet moon as the moon is between the Sun and Earth and faces the dark side while in a full moon, sun and Moon are aligned opposite to the Earth due to which Moon looks brighter as direct sunlight falls on it.

Since in the question full Moon appears when it is between Sun and earth and new Moon appears when the moon is opposite to Sun and Earth which is the opposite condition.

Thus, the position of the full moon and new moon have been interchanged is the correct answer.
