How much of the Moon's surface is illuminated by the sun at any time regardless of how much of that light can be seen from earth?
At any given time, one half of the Moon's surface is illuminated by the sun, just like on Earth. The portion of the Moon's illuminated side that we can see from Earth depends on its position in its orbit around our planet.
Where would you be if you traveled 6000000 miles into space?
Farther than the Moon, but still much closer to Earth than to any other planet.Farther than the Moon, but still much closer to Earth than to any other planet.Farther than the Moon, but still much closer to Earth than to any other planet.Farther than the Moon, but still much closer to Earth than to any other planet.
How much of the moon is always lit?
About half of the moon is always lit by the sun. This is because only one half of the moon is visible from Earth at any given time. The amount of light that can be seen from Earth reflects different phases of the moon as it orbits.
What is the gravitational pull of the moon in comparison to the earth?
On the moon, any object weighs about 16% as much as it weighs when it's on the earth.
How much of the moon is lit up at all times?
One hemisphere is always lit except when the moon is occulted by the earth.
How much of the moon is lit at all times?
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.
Why does a solar eclipse not cover much of the earth's surface but a lunar eclipse covers half of the earth's surface at any point?
During a solar eclipse, the moon's shadow only covers a small area on the Earth's surface due to the moon being much smaller than the Earth. In contrast, during a lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow is much larger as it extends further into space and can darken the entire moon visible from Earth at that time.
Is there any gravity on the moon and the astronaut on the moon?
Yes, there is gravity on the moon, but it is much weaker than on Earth. The gravitational pull on the moon is about 1/6th of that on Earth, so astronauts on the moon experience lower gravity.
Why is only part of the earth in shadow during a solar eclipse?
The Moon is much smaller than the Earth. It's shadow can't cover the entire Earth.The Moon is much smaller than the Earth.

How can you find out how much you weigh on the moon?
Multiply any earth weight by 0.163 to get the moon weight of the same object.
Is there any moon on earth?
There is no moon on Earth, but there is one orbiting it; we call it the moon.
How much do objets weigh on the moon than the earth?
Any object on the moon weighs 1/6th of what it weighs on Earth. For e.g., a 6kg object will weigh only 1kg on the moon.
