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.

Why does the moon look different from week to week?
Because as the moon is moving around the earth the earth is moving around the sun, meaning each week a different amount of light is hitting the moon because of the position of the sun and moon to earth
Moon phases in which the amount of lighted surface seen on Earth increases?
"waxing"
As the moon moves around the earth what does an observer on earth see?
He sees the phases of the moon. A varying amount of the sunlit surface is visible as the moon goes through its phases, having increased or decreased illumination with a curved boundary.
Does the far side of the moon receive any light from the moon?
every side of the moon eventually gets sunlight, because the moon revolves around Earth and Earth revolves around the sun. but only half of the moon if ever lit at a time, and the light goes around the moon
Which theory proposes that the moon was a passing asteroid pulled into orbit by Earth's gravity?
The capture theory says that the moon was originally orbiting the sun, but it passed to near the earth, and became the moon. The biggest problem with this theory is that this action would have created so much heat that it would melt the earth.
Why is a month about 28 days long?

Does the moon generate heat for the earth?
the moon does not have its own energy to produce light that also produces heat therefore does not generate heat for earth and the sun generates heat for the earth.
Where does the heat of the earth come from?
moon
Why are temeratures of earth and moon so different?
Because the moon has an incredibly small atmosphere, if it has any that is. The earth has a very big atmosphere compared to the moon. Thanks to all the CO2 in the atmosphere of earth, we are able to retain a really large amount of heat, unlike the incredible lack of any gas on the moon.
Where does most of the earth's heat come from?
moon
Why is moon not as warm as the earth?
Because the Moon does not have an as strong atmosphere as the Earth does, so the heat cannot be contained.
What is the amount of gravity of the moon?
The gravity of the moon is 1/6 that of the earth.
When the amount of the light surface of the moon that is visible from earth is increasing the moon is what?
The Moon is "waxing".
What causes an object to weigh more on earth than the moon?
the amount of gravity on earth versus the moon
Why does the earth not lose its heat as quickly at night as the moon does?
no you answer it
How would the earth be affected if there were no moon?
if there is no moon then there alway the sun which giving its heat &light
Do the earth and moon make their own light and heat?
No. The moon reflects the sun's light and the earth is heated and lite by the sun.
