How can there be dark sky around bright moon?

Answer 1

Well there are many ways to describe the sky...here's a sentence to start you off:

The morning sky lit up the world as the people of Earth slept safe andsound...

Now carry on! Remember a good and descrptive piece of writing includes the following:

• Wide range of vocabulary e.g. indulging
• Alliteration e.g. Large lorry
• Onomatopoeia e.g. BANG!
• Rhetorical questions e.g. Where was I?
• Adverbs e.g. Cluelessy
• Metaphors e.g. She is an elephant
• Similies e.g. She is fat like an elephant
• Personification e.g. As the wind blew, the trees swayed side to side waving at us.

Also, a good piece of writing includes the way you start your sentences...try starting your sentences with something else other than "The", "I", "We", "My" - be far more descriptive and try making your writing look original and sophisticared. Start your sentences with adverbs or emotions:

- Slowly, I took a step forward.

- Furious, I walked out of the room.

Use both short and long sentences for effect.

Punctuation also makes your sentences and work effective and much easier t read; you should get used to using some of this punctuations:

1. Full stops .
2. Commas ,
3. Brackets ()
4. Hyphens -
5. Colons :
6. Semi-colons ;
7. Question Marks ?
8. Exclamation Marks !
9. Speech Marks " "

Well, I hoped this helped you start off your writing about the morning sky and was useful to improve your writing skills. Good luck with whatever you are doing!

Answer 2

The dark sky around a bright moon occurs because the moon itself does not produce its own light, but rather reflects the sun's light. This reflection causes the moon to appear bright against a dark background of space and sky. The contrast between the bright moon and the dark sky is more noticeable when there are fewer other light sources present, such as during a clear night.

Answer 3

Because the surface of the moon is covered by a very thin (less than 2" thick) layer of very fine dust (regolith) composed largely of glass particles that were formed by the millions of impact craters that cover the lunar surface. The regolith reflects the sun's light back to earth.

Interestingly enough, astronauts who walked on the moon say that the earth shines far brighter when standing on the moon than the moon appears from earth.

Answer 4

-- The ground is illuminated, and you can see where you're going.

-- The sun is up in the sky, but the sky is also full of stars.

-- If you're on the correct half of the moon's surface, then the Earth is also in the sky,

and always in the same place, going through phases every 29.5 days. If you're on

the other half of the moon's surface, then you never ever see the Earth.

Answer 5

It is caused because there is a strange part of the moon called ''the dark side of the moon''

It is said to be a dark spot that covers the moon, the reason it shows at night is because the faded sun the lighting it up, so when you look up and see the moon that is cut in half, its still there, if you look VERY closely.

The angle of light from the sun arriving at and reflecting from the surface of the moon causes this visual effect.

Answer 6

Because there is no air to scatter and diffuse light, as there is on earth.

The light of the sun is seen coming only from the direction of the sun,

and not from any other direction.

Answer 7

Black. The reason behind is the moon has very low gravity. Because of this it has an atmosphere so thin as to be almost negligible, with a total atmospheric mass of less than 104 kg. No atmosphere means no scattering of light which moon's surface receives from sun. So person standing on the moon surface will observe sky being of black color even during day time. On the other hand earth has gravity multiple times of moon's gravity. Due to this it has atmosphere which is responsible for scattering of light which earth receives from sun.So person standing on earth surface observes blue colored sky during day time. The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air. However, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue

Answer 8

Basically, the sky is deep black in colour. Moon is a satellite which means it has no light of its own. It's the sun who shines and the moon just glows with the sunshine. Since, the moon, in fact, does not produce its own light, the black sky (or cosmos) surrounding it will not change in colour. Ya, a little bit shade around the moon will be present, but only a little bit.
For more clarification, have you ever seen black sky during the day? It's because the sun is producing its own light and it spreads along the atmosphere.

Answer 9

Often it is below the horizon from your side of the earth, hence you cannot see it. Sometimes moonrise does occur before sunset, and at these times you may be able to see the moon if it is in the opposite part of the sky to the sun.

================================

On the average during a month, the moon is in the sky (up) for almost 13 hours

out of every 24.

With the possible exception of the time of the Full Moon, the moon is up during

some of the daylight hours of every day.

Answer 10

It is because on earth we have an atmosphere and blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. when on the moon there is no atmosphere to cause diffraction of light at all, so you don't see any colours at all.
