My quick cocktail-napkin (back-of-the-envelope) calculation says that at any instant, the moon
is visible throughout a range of about 178 degrees of latitude and 178 degrees of longitude,
which is pretty close to a full half of the earth's surface.
The moon will not be in the exact same place at the same time tomorrow. Due to its orbit around the Earth, the moon moves approximately 13 degrees eastward each day, which means it rises and sets about 50 minutes later each day. Therefore, while it will be in a similar position relative to the stars, it won't be in the same spot in the sky at the same time.
Yes. A formal definition of "Dark of the moon" is: 1. The period of about a week at the time of a new moon when the moon's light is absent from the sky. 2. A period when the moon is not shining or when it is obscured
0% All of the moon receives light only some of the time.
they are always out at the same time so yes but it is scince we are tilted they can also see it. _________________________________ Except at the full Moon, there is always a period at night when the Moon is not visible; either it has already set, or has not yet risen. At the new phase of the Moon, the Sun and Moon are pretty close in the sky, and the Moon isn't visible at all during the night.
The moon doesn't generate light on its own, but the moon does reflect light very well. When we see the moon in the sky, we are seeing the sunlight shining onto the moon and reflecting off its surface. You are seeing what is in fact the moon's daytime illumination. The part of the moon that appears dark is experiencing lunar night time. You would see the same kind of thing if your were on the moon observing the earth.
The moon is a heavenly body that orbits our fair earth. The lit section of the moon the we see here on earth is the direct sunlight bouncing off of IT. It is day time on the moon in the LIT section. Imagine what the Earth would look like from space when an astronaut sees both the day and night side at the same time. The darker part of the moon is the section where the moon doesnt quite face the sun. Its nighttime on the moon there. Most of the time, when the moon and sun are in the sky at the same time, you can clearly see the moon. When the moon is too near the sun, around the time of the new moon, it is not visible except of course if there is an eclipse.
Cold and dry. The weather on the moon is always the same since space is a vacuum there can be no water. And the only light comes from the sun.
Why did the owner add and moon silver at the same time?
The light from the sun reflects light to the full moon as the sun is always just opposite the full moon except during the new moon time, where there is no moon to be seen.
It doesn't matter what day, what location or what time. The Moon aways faces the same way to us (within a few degrees of change). The Moon is tidally locked to the Earth, which means the same face is always pointing towards us. The "Dark side of the Moon" is the part which we never see (From Earth), but alas Pink Floyd, it is not always dark, as it gets actually more sunlight than the "Light side of the Moon".
As we see it, it is the full Moon. However, at any time, the Sun is shining on a full side of the moon, so the same amount of light is reflected, but less light is reflected towards us. How much daylight and darkness there is, also affects how much light appears to be reflected from the Moon as we see it. So when the Moon is visible before the Sun sets, it doesn't look as bright as it does after the Sun sets.
The Earth would be all the time in the same direction - more or less. It would have about 4 times the apparent diameter the Moon seems to us - about 2 degrees instead of 1/2 degree. You would see the Earth pass through all the phases, similar to the Moon's phases.The Earth would be all the time in the same direction - more or less.
