I assume you mean the ancient Egyptian civilization. They saw them with their eyes. The telescope had not been invented yet.
as the earth moves so does the moon and where the earth orbits the sun and the moon orbits earth as the earth moves around the sun the sun projects light and it hits the moon and we can see the light from the sun reflecting off the moon
Why do we see differences in the appearance and movements of the Sun and Moon from Earth
Why do we see differences in the appearance and movements of the Sun and Moon from Earth
We see a crescent moon.
The Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth than the Sun is when there is a full Moon.
you will see a full moon
Because this is how the moon cycle works: MOON---EARTH---SUN=full moon EARTH---MOON---SUN=new moon. So, when you see the moon during the daytime, it's because its orbit is interfering with the Sun's. But during a full moon, when the moon is behind the Earth, it cannot interfere. See?
When the moon is in between the earth and the sun, but not in the same plane, we see a solar eclipse.
The moon gets full because.... When the sun is on the side of the moon facing away from Earth you cant see the moon. When the sun is on the side facing the Earth you can see the full Moon! it basically relies on where the sun is positioned.
When you see a half moon, the position of the Sun is either directly to the right or left of the Moon as viewed from Earth. This is because a half moon occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon form a 90-degree angle, with the Sun illuminating half of the side facing Earth.
lunar eclipse which is the moon blocking the sun
