Does t moon really change its shape?
of course, cheese can be in any shape you'd like
Are the phases of the moon caused by the moon moving into the sun's shadow?
No, the phases of the moon are caused by the changing positions of the moon, Earth, and sun in relation to each other. As the moon orbits Earth, different portions of its illuminated half are visible from Earth, leading to the different phases we see.
T or F The phases of the moon are caused by the positions of the Earth Sun and Moon?
True. The phases of the moon are caused by the positions of the Earth, Sun, and Moon in relation to each other. As the Moon orbits Earth, the Sun's light shines on different parts of the Moon, creating the changing patterns of light and shadow we see from Earth as the phases of the moon.
Why is a moon not a planet?
A planet orbits a star such as the sun. A moon orbits a planet.
Is a planet a moon?
No. A moon orbits around a planet. A planet orbits around the sun.
How is planet different from moon?
A planet orbits a star whereas a moon orbits a planet.
The moon orbits what planet?
The moon with the specific name 'The Moon' orbits planet Earth.
Does the moon have phases because of the earth's shadow?
No, the moon's phases are caused by the changing angles of sunlight hitting its surface as it orbits Earth. The moon does pass through Earth's shadow during a lunar eclipse, but this is a separate astronomical event from the moon's phases.
If the moon were larger would you still see the moon phases?
Yes, you would still see the moon phases because they are caused by the changing angles of sunlight hitting the surface of the moon as it orbits Earth. The size of the moon does not affect the appearance of these phases.
Do you see different sides of the moon as the phases of the moon?
No, we see the same side of the moon as it orbits and goes through phases because the moon rotates at the same rate it orbits.
Does the moon orbit around a planet?
No, it orbits you. Of course! The moon orbits EARTH, our planet.
What causes the phase of the moon to change?
The changing phases of the moon are caused by its position relative to the Earth and the Sun. As the moon orbits the Earth, the amount of sunlight it reflects changes, creating the different phases we see from Earth.
