You are located on Earth and you see the Moon in its third-quarter phase. Draw the Sun, your location on Earth's surface, and the Moon in the sky, correctly shadowing the portions of the Moon's surface not in the Sun's light. Label the time of day you would see this Moon phase

What will be an ideal response?


A third-quarter Moon has the left, near side lit and the right, near side dark but half the Moon's surface is bathed in sunlight and half is not. The time of day is sunrise.
