Can you observe the phases of Mars on earth?
no Mars does not go through phases as seen from earth.
What would happen to the phases if the moon was closer to earth?
Apparently, yes.
What will happen if the moon moves away from Earth?
-- It'll appear smaller in the sky. -- It'll take longer to go through a full cycle of phases. -- High tides on Earth will be lower. Low tides on Earth will be higher.
Why do we observe moon phases on earth?
to me i think we observe them to know which is going to happen or to notice when an eclipse is going to happen
Does the moon go through phases because it orbits the Earth?
Yes
Do all moons go through the same phases as earth's moon?
Yes.
What would happen to the moon phases if the earth's orbit of the sun were longer?
everyone would DIE! surely..
What causes half of the moon cycle to happen?
Every month as the Moon cycles through its phases it appears to change shape. The Moon always has the same spherical shape, but stargazers on Earth see different fractions of the dark and illuminated portions of the Moon as the Moon orbits Earth. The common urban myth that Earth's shadow falling on the Mooncauses lunar phases is incorrect.
Are phases of moon evidence of shape of the earth?
No, it has nothing to do with the shape of the Earth. Phases of the Moon are caused by the relative positions of the Sun, the Earth and the Moon. When seen through a telescope, Venus presents similar phases. However, the circular shape of Earth's shadow that is projected on the Moon' surface during a lunar eclipse is evidence that the Earth is round.
What round object goes through several phases but never seems to change?
From the perspective of the earth, the most apparent objects that go through phases are the moon, Venus and Mercury
What causes phase chge to happen?
when the moon revolves around the earth the sun reflects his light to the moon which is shown to the earth in different phases as it revolves.
Would a satellite orbiting the earth go through phases like those of the moon?
Yes.
