How do sun and moon differ in the way people see them?
no
How does the sun and moon differ in the way people see them?
It is the distance between the earth and moon.
Could you see the earths light if you were on the moon?
In the same way we see brightness from the Moon as a result of the Sun shining on it, you would see brightness on the Earth from the Moon when the Sun is shining on it. You would not be able to see normal lights, like street lights, from the Moon.
When you watch the sun rise and set you actually see earth revolution around the moon?
You see Earth's revolution around the sun.. the moon revolves around the Earth, not the other way around.
Does the moon produce light like the sun?
The earth is positioned between the sun and moon in such a way that does not completely shadow one from the other; in other words, the sun and moon always 'see' at least a little of each other, except for during an eclipse. The light that we see on the moon is really the reflection of the light that's hitting it from the sun. Short answer, no, the moon reflects the sun's light.
Why is it necessary for a lunar eclipse to occur?
It isn't necessary at all. It is just the way the sun and moon line up, so the moon is behind the sun and you can't see it.
Why the moon cannot be seen on new moon day?
A new moon happens when the Earth, Sun, and moon are aligned in a way so that the moon reflects the Sun's rays away from Earth. Since there is no light coming to the Earth from the moon, we can't see the moon.
Why does the full moon rise at the same time when the sun goes down?
To be full moon, the Moon has to be opposite the Sun - that way, we see the whole of the illuminated side. The only way for the moon to be on the opposite side of earth is for it to be on the night side. Thus the full moon cannot be out during the day.
What causes the phases of the moon that is visible to earth?
The moon's phases are caused by the earth blocking the light from sun and casting a shadow on the moon. we are between the moon and the sun entirely at a new a new moon and we are not blocking any sun light at full moon.
Why do you see more of the moon at certain times of the month and not others?
because of the way the sun is faceing
Where is the moon in a total solar eclipse?
It's exactly on the line between the sun and your eye, so that when you lookdirectly at the sun, the moon is exactly in the way, blocking your view so thatyou can't see the sun.
