Which factors cause the lunar cycle?
The lunar cycle is caused by the revolution of the Moon about the Earth.
Do you have to wear sunglasses during a lunar eclipse?
No. During a lunar eclipse, you can safely stare directly at the moon continuously, for the entire several hours that the eclipse is in progress. And try to stay awake.
What percentage of the moon is illuminated during all lunar phases?
Half of the Moon is always illuminated, except during a lunar eclipse. We see phases of the Moon when the half we can see doesn't match the half that's in sunlight.
Why you see the moon and it appears to change?
Quick answer: Over the course of a lunar cycle, you are observing the lunar day (exactly equal to the length of a lunar cycle of phases) unfolding on the moon's surface. [Some wrongly believe that the changing appearance of the moon has something to do with the earth's shadow on the moon; it does not. The earth's shadow is involved only during a lunar eclipse.]
How long does the entire lunar cycle last?
28 days
Does the shadow casts on the moon cover totally the entire lunar surface?
During a full lunar eclipse, the visible half of the moon's surface is in the Earth's shadow while the rest does not receive sunlight because it is facing away from the Sun. Lunar eclipses occur during full moon phases.
When during the lunar cycle can there be a solar eclispe?

How much of the moon is lighted by sunlight?
At any given moment, only 50% of the moon is exposed to sunlight (just like the earth), assuming there is no lunar eclipse ocurring. However, over the course of a month, the entire lunar surface will be exposed to sunlight.
Why does the moon look different throughout a full lunar cycle?
The sun lights a different portion of the moon's face during the lunar cycle.
How long does it take for one entire cycle of lunar phases to occur?
~ 29.5 days a month.
What happens in a complete lunar cycle?
1 lunar cyle equivelent to 29.53059 so what happens in a complete lunar cycle is the lunar cycle forms into a 360 circle
What was the only part of the original spacecraft that made the entire trip and return to earths surface during a lunar mission?

Which factors cause the lunar cycle?

Do you have to wear sunglasses during a lunar eclipse?
No. During a lunar eclipse, you can safely stare directly at the moon continuously, for the entire several hours that the eclipse is in progress. And try to stay awake.
What is the difference between a full lunar eclipse and a partial lunar eclipse?
A lunar eclipse occurs when the normally full Moon crosses into the Earth's shadow, thereby creating a darkened area on the moon. During a partial lunar eclipse, only part of the Moon falls into the Earth's shadow. During a full lunar eclipse, the entire moon crosses through the earth's shadow, and therefore the entire moon is darkened.
