Across
- the phase when half of the moon is illuminated and the percentage of the lit surface is still increasing
- This is the stage when the moon is more than half lit but the illuminated surface we can see is decreasing
- the moon shrinks back to a crescent that's less than half full
Down
- The crescent is as long as it's less than half full
- When the moon is more than half full and still increases its illuminated surface
- During this phase, the moon is once again half illuminated
- In this phase, the moon is behind Earth and its face is fully illuminated
- During this phase the moon is between Earth and the sun
8 Clues: The crescent is as long as it's less than half full • During this phase the moon is between Earth and the sun • During this phase, the moon is once again half illuminated • the moon shrinks back to a crescent that's less than half full • In this phase, the moon is behind Earth and its face is fully illuminated • ...
