Moon Phases Knowledge (MPK)

Measures your understanding of the Moon’s phase sequence, appearance from Earth, and the Sun–Earth–Moon geometry that drives the lunar cycle.

Emerging foundation

Developing knowledge

Strong knowledge

0 – 6: Emerging foundation | 7 – 12: Developing knowledge | 13 – 16: Strong knowledge

A score of 6 suggests an emerging foundation, indicating you recognize some lunar concepts but may benefit from reviewing phase order, illumination, and orbital geometry.
