Why don't the moon shine through a solar eclipse?
The moon only apears to shine because it reflects sunlight from its surface. During a solar eclipse the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth so the sunlight reflects off the surface of the moon which is not visible from Earth.
Why is the sun shining at the night and why is the moon upset about it?
The sun does not shine in the night. The full moon reflects sunlight to the Earth at night.
Why did the moon shine when there was utter darkness in the sky?
The light form the moon is sunlight reflected from the moon's surface when sunlight fall onto it. Thus while you are in the Earth's shadow (night time) the moon is not. :)
How does the earth moon shine?
The moon shines be reflecting the radiation Kinetic Energy from the sun (reflecting sunlight); keep in mind that similar to Earth,only half of the moon is lit by the sun's direct rays and as the moon travels around the Earth, the part of the lit moon that we can see changes, resulting in the lunar phases.
The planets and the moon shine because of what sunlight?
reflected
The source of the light that causes the moon to shine is?
The Moon doesn't shine at all. This is what bothers me about vampire movies; sunlight kills vampires, but moonlight doesn't affect them. And yet, the Moon is just a giant mirror in the sky reflecting SUNLIGHT back to the Earth! Why wouldn't the vampires all die of the reflected sunlight, that's what I want to know! Anyway, moonlight is simply reflected sunlight.
Why does the moon depend on the sun to shine?
The moon does not produce its own light; it reflects sunlight to shine. The sun's light illuminates the moon, making it visible to us on Earth. Without the sun's light, the moon would appear dark and invisible.
How does the sun affect the moon?
The sun's gravitational pull causes the moon to orbit around the Earth, resulting in the moon's phases as we see from Earth. The sun also illuminates the moon, causing it to appear bright in the sky as it reflects sunlight.
What causes the moon to shine at night?
The moon does not produce its own light; it reflects sunlight. The amount of illuminated surface visible from the Earth changes due to the moon's orbit around our planet, creating the appearance of different moon phases.
The moon and planets shine by what sunlight?
The moon shines by reflecting sunlight, just like any other object in the solar system. Planets shine by reflecting sunlight or producing their own light, such as in the case of Venus, which has a thick atmosphere that reflects sunlight.
Why can the moon shine?
The moon shines because it reflects light from the sun. Sunlight hits the surface of the moon, and the reflective properties of the moon's surface cause it to shine and appear bright in our night sky.
Why does the sun not always shine on the moon?
It pretty much always does, except when the Earth gets in the way. This produces a lunar eclipse. However, the side of the moon it's shining on isn't necessarily the side facing us, so part of the time we can't see the lit side.
