What else can I help you with?
Is there a relationship between the phase of the moon such as full or quarter and how high the moon is in the sky?
No. The Moons phases are determined by the relative angles between the Sun, Earth and Moon. The changing position of the moon in the sky is because of the Earth's rotation, so is dependent on the time of day.
What is the realation between earth and sun during a full moon?
During a full moon, the Earth is positioned between the Sun and the Moon. The Sun is illuminating the side of the Moon that faces Earth, making it appear fully lit from our perspective. This alignment causes the Moon to appear bright and full in the night sky.
Why does the Moon appear as a bright object in the sky?
The moon is lighted by sunlight. That's why when the Earth is between the sun and the moon the shadow of the Earth causes the Moon to be entirely dark (a lunar eclipse).
What best describes how a new moon occurs?
A new moon occurs when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun, with the side of the moon facing Earth in darkness. This alignment causes the side of the moon illuminated by the sun to be hidden from view, resulting in a dark night sky with no visible moon.
Why can't we see the moon in daylight?
During the day, the brightness of the sun overwhelms the dim light from the moon, making it difficult for our eyes to perceive the moon's presence against the sunlit sky. Additionally, the angle between the sun, Earth, and moon during the day typically makes the moon appear near the sun in the sky, further reducing its visibility.
What is the position of the person on the earth when he sees new moon?
When a person on Earth sees a new moon, that means the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun. This alignment results in the side of the moon facing Earth to be in shadow, making it appear as if there is no moon visible in the sky.
What holds the moon up in the sky?
The orbital path of the moon and gravitational attraction between the moon and the earth keep it up there where it is supposed to be.
What is the difference between a new moon and a solar eclipse?
A new moon occurs when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun, making it appear dark in the sky. A solar eclipse happens when the moon passes directly between the Earth and the sun, blocking the sun's light and casting a shadow on Earth.
Why aren't stars between Earth and the moon?
A star is too large to fit between the earth and the moon and/or so massive that it would tear apart the earth and moon before it got there. If there were a star between the earth and the moon, there would be nobody around to know it.
Where is the set of new moon?
The new moon occurs when the moon is directly between the Earth and the Sun, making it appear completely dark in the night sky. Its position in the sky changes throughout the month as it orbits the Earth.
The position of the new moon is always located in the daytime sky?
False the new moon cant be seen from earth at all.
Why does the moon move across the sky?
The moon moves across the sky because of the Earth's rotation on its axis. As the Earth rotates, the moon's position relative to an observer on Earth changes, causing it to appear to move across the sky.
