because the sun is hot and bright
Half of the Earth at a time.
Half of the moon is always lit by the sun, unless the sun is eclipsed by the Earth. The portion of the illuminated moon viewed from Earth depends on the moon's orbit. As the moon orbits, different portions of shadow and illumination are seen from Earth, creating the moon's phases.
Approximately 50% of Earth is lit by the sun at any given time due to its rotation on its axis. This constant illumination and darkness cycle creates day and night.
the answer is the sun
eclipse
its obvious when you think about it as the earth spins the side facing the sun is lit up by the sun the side opposite is not facing the sun therefor its night
The amount of the moon that is illuminated by the sun varies as the moon orbits Earth. At any given time, half of the moon is lit by the sun, but we can see different portions of this lit side from Earth depending on the moon's position in its orbit.
No. If the moon is between the earth and sun, It cannot possibly be also lit from the sun on the side that is facing the earth!
No. The Earth is roughly a sphere, so only half the Earth is lit at a time.
Approximately half of the moon is illuminated by the sun at any given time, which corresponds to 50%. This is because the moon goes through phases as it orbits the Earth, with the amount of sunlight it reflects varying depending on its position relative to the Earth and the sun.
A full earth is the same as a full moon. It's when you see the entire planet from space lit up by the sun.
Half of the moon is always lit. Due to it's position in relation to the sun and the earth, we see a different moon every night.
