On may 15, the moon appeared to be a waning crescent. what will the moon look like three days later?

question 7 options:

b: first quarter moon

c: new moon

d: third quarter moon

If May 15 has Waning Crescent moon, then May 18 (three days later) will have D. third quarter moon.

The phases of Moon starts with the New Moon which is invisible, while the primary stage is the dainty fragment of a Waxing Crescent Moon. Around seven days after it, half of the Moon's surface is lit up while the other half is in darkness. Such type of moon phase is called First Quarter Moon.

As the lightness spreads from light part to dark part, the moon is called by different names such as Waning gibbous, (one third light and rest is dark), full moon (fully bright), etc.

this is a good question! i'll do some research and come back when i have the answer!
