Can the whole Earth be lighted at the same time?
Not from one point of illumination.
Since the earth's shadow creates the crescent moon why does the moon not look like a crescent after 7 days?
Your assumption is not correct. The crescent moon has nothing to do with the shadow of the earth falling upon the moon. The moon being obscured by earth's shadow is a relatively rare event, and it is known as a lunar eclipse. Furthermore, during a lunar eclipse the passing earth shadow does not show as a sharp edge on the moon's surface. The crescent moon shapes that you typically observe over the course of a month are a result of the fact that earth's view of the moon is changing, and as our view changes, we see more of the lit surface of the moon or less, depending on where we are in the month. The moon orbits the earth once every month in its west-to-east orbit. During the same time, the earth is spinning on its axis west-to-east once every 24 hours. This is why the sun, moon and stars all appear to rise in the east. During our nighttimes, we watch the moon slowly progress from lunar noontime (at the time of the full moon, for an observer at the center of the moon's face) to lunar midnight (at the time of the new moon when the view of the moon is obscured by the brightness of the sun) and back to lunar noon at the next full moon. We can sometimes observe the very fine first crescent of the moon shortly after the time of the new moon, after sunset. The moon's orbit around the earth is not in the same plane as the earth's orbit around the sun. This means that the earth's shadow never touches the moon during most months. Now and then, and only at the time of the full moon, the earth's shadow will pass over some or all of the full moon during what is called a lunar eclipse. These eclipses last for a few hours at most.
What is the distance between earth and heaven?
The same as between the Moon and the Earth. The distance from the clouds to the surface of the Earth is insignificant, compared to the Moon-Earth distance.The same as between the Moon and the Earth.

Are moon and sun the same?
No. The sun is the bright yellow thing in the sky. The moon is the big white thing in the sky.
What same amount of material occupies the same amount of space but the position of the material changes?
Tension or Shearing + I believe Tension
The amount of lighted side of the moon you can see is the same during?
All of the Moon's lighted side is visible during the full moon.
The amount of the lighted side of the moon you can see is the same during-?
You can see the same amount of the moon during the first and last quarter, as well as during each half.
Is the amount of the lighted side of the moon you can see the same during full and new moon phase?
No
Do The phases of the moon depend on how much of the lighted side of the moon can be seen from Earth?
Yes. There is always (except during certain eclipses) half of the moon illuminated. However, there is no 'dark side of the moon' per se. The same part of the moon is always facing the earth, but the part that is lighted changes by the minute, just as it does on Earth.
Why does the new moon seem so dark?
the moon goes through the same phases but in reverse sequence, less and less of the lighted side of the moon faces the earth until the moon disappears.
Do the moon and earth receive the same amount of heat from sun?
Sunlight arrives with the same intensity on the Earth and on the moon. However, it affects the moon differently than the Earth because the Earth has an atmosphere and the moon doesn't. Hence, the moon gets hotter during the lunar day, and colder during the lunar night.
The phases of the moon depend on how much of the lighted side of the moon can be seen from earth?
From earth we see the same side of the moon but depending on the position of the moon, earth, sun we see different portions of the moon- these are known as the phases of the moon.
Is the same amount of dirt that is taken from a hole returned to it during a full moon?
There is no dirt to take out of a hole, so none can be put back in. None out, none in is the same amount.
How many days does it take for the same moon to reappear?
It's always the same moon, but the shape of the visible lighted portion changes. Whatever shape of the moon you see right now, you'll see the same shape again after 29.53 days have passed.
Why can't you see a full moon during the day?
During the day, the sun is at its brightest and the moon is directly opposite the sun. Therefore, you will never see a full moon during the day because the moon is always changing position in relation to the sun.
When the moon grows bigger it is called?
It is called Waxing! _________________________ The Moon is always the same size. What we see increasing is the lighted part of the nearside of the Moon. When it is increasing, we call it "waxing"; when we see it decreasing, the word "waning" is used.
When the entire side of the moon facing the earth is bathed in sunlight the moon is said to be?
The lighted part of the moon always faces in the direction of the sun.(Hint: That's how it becomes lighted.)When the lighted part of the moon faces in the direction of the earth,the moon is Full ... at least as far as we on earth are concerned.
