Why do the moon's phases look like they do?
The moon's phases look the way they do because it takes one monthe for the moon to rotate around the Earth. You can only see certain parts of the moon because the light of the sun shines only on the part of the moon not covered by the Earth.
Why does the moon look a little bit different every night?
The Moon appears different every night due to its changing position in relation to the Sun and Earth. This causes different portions of the Moon to be illuminated by sunlight, creating its phases. The Moon's orbit around the Earth also affects how much of its illuminated side is visible to us.
What does the moon phases look like?
Moon phases are the phases the moon goes through on its orbit of the Earth. They range from a white circle to a thin sliver of light like crescent they are nacture giantsRead more: What_does_moon_phases_look_like
Why do you have the phases of the moon?
the moon and the sun and the earth all make the moon look different because of shadows
How does the moon look from day to day?
The moon appears to change shape due to its position relative to the Earth and the Sun. This change in appearance, known as the moon's phases, occurs because we see different portions of its illuminated surface as it orbits Earth. The cycle of moon's phases repeat approximately every 29.5 days.
Does moon phases happen every month?
yes it does because every day i always at the beginning of the month i would look at the moon for the moon cycle
What moon phase changes the appearance of the moon as seen from earth?
The moon phases that change the appearance of the moon as seen from Earth are caused by the relative positions of the sun, Earth, and moon. The major phases include new moon, first quarter, full moon, and third quarter, with each phase showing a different amount of illuminated surface to Earth.
Why the moon look the same form every place on earth?
The distance between two observers on Earth is fairly small (maximum about 12,000 km), compared to the distance from Earth to Moon (about 380,000 km on average).
Would you see lunar phases if the moon did not rotate while it orbit earth?
No, if the moon did not rotate as it orbits the Earth, we would always see the same face of the moon and there would be no changing lunar phases. This is because the changing phases of the moon are caused by the angle between the sun, Earth, and moon as the moon orbits Earth.
What direction is the part of the moon lighten?
Towards the Earth all or some of the time, I think. Look at the Moon phases/cycle diagram.
During crescent phases the sun earth moon is at a what degree angle?
During the moon's crescent phases, the earth is at the vertex of an acute angle formed with the sun and moon. Another way to look at it is that during the crescent phases, the moon is always less than 90° away from the sun in our sky. Also, it rises and sets within 6 hours of the sun.
If the moon is half full as seen from earth what would earth look like to a man on the moon?
If you are on the moon at the time of "New Moon", and you are facing the earth, you see a "Full Earth". If you stay up there a while, and call your partner on earth every day, and you describe to each other what you're seeing, you'll notice something very interesting: The part of the moon that HE sees, plus the part of the earth that YOU see, always adds up to a complete circle of illumination. Each of you sees the part of the circle that the other one is missing.
