WHY is the moon yellow or white?
the moon looks white when all of the light from the sun reaches the surface. sometimes the moon's atmospheric particles become denser than usual causing not all of the beams of light to travel through. only the yellow ones make it through.
Does sound travel in the atmosphere of the moon?
The moon's atmosphere is negligible. So, it is as good as saying that the moon does not have an atmosphere.Hence, sound does not travel through it.
Can an explosion be heard on the surface of the moon?
Sound can travel in the solid rocks of the moon but sound can not travel on the surface of the moon because there is no air for the sound to travel in.
How fast does light travel from the sun to the moon?
300000 Km/s
What makes the moon yellow?
Sometimes the Moon looks yellow when its low in the sky. This is for the same reason that the Sun looks red at sunset. The Earth's atmosphere "scatters" incoming light. Blue light is scattered more than yellow or red light. The effect is much greater when the Moon or Sun is near the horizon, because the light has to travel through more air before we see it. So, the Moon can often look yellow when it's low in the sky.
Can light travel through a vcuum?
Yes. Ever seen the Sun, the Moon, or the stars?
What evidence do we have that light travel through a vacuum?
You create a vacuum in a lab, and then shine a light through it, and there is experimental proof that light travels through a vacuum. Alternatively, take the fact that light travels through space - if light could not travel through a vacuum, no light from the stars, the moon or the sun would ever reach our planet.
Is there a way sound can travel on the moon?
It can travel through the moon's crust, yes - it is solid. But it cannot travel through the air on the moon, of course, because there Is no air on the moon!
Light can travel through a vacuum as is evidenced when you see the sun or the moon. Can sound travel through a vacuum also?
No, sounds cannot travel through a vacuum. This is because sound requires a medium to travel through because it requires the vibration of particles to travel and there need to be particles to vibrate for it to travel through.
Why do light waves require a medium in which to travel?
Light waves do not require a medium through which to travel. They will travel (propagate) perfectly well in a vacuum. Otherwise, light would not pass through the vacuum of space. It would be very dark here on earth as the light from the sun, moon and stars could not reach Earth through the vacuum of space.
WHY is the moon yellow or white?

Can light travel through brick?
no if an object is OPAQUE then light can't travel through it (unless it has a hole in it)
Why doesn't light travel through a vacuum?
Light does travel through a vacuum.
How does how does light travel through opaque material?
it cant travel through light.
Does light travel through sponge?
Light will not travel through an opaque sponge.
What can light travel through that sound cant travel through?
light can travel through a vacuum whereas sound cant
Can both light and sound travel through glass?
Both light and sound can indeed travel through glass. These are substances in which light and sound often travel through.
