How much time the moon ray takes to come in the Earth?
The average time that it takes for light to travel from the moon's surface to the earth's surface or vice versa is about 1.255 seconds.
How much Time light takes to travel from sun to moon?
I believe it takes light from the sun about seven minutes to reach earth and moon. And light travels at 186,000 miles pre second !
Why does the Moon's appearance keep changing?
because the light on the moon is reflected by the earth so when the earth is not facing on the moon there is not that much light
What if the moon is bigger than the earth?
there will much light
How much time is required for reflected sunlight to travel from the Moon to Earth if the distance between Earth and the Moon is 3.85 x 105 km?
Reflected sunlight from the Moon takes about 1.28 seconds to travel to Earth. This is because light travels at a speed of about 299,792 km/s in a vacuum, so the time it takes for light to travel a distance is given by distance divided by speed.
How much time to travel moon?
It takes about 3 days to travel to the moon using current spacecraft technology.
How much time does it take for the moon to travel around earth?
27.32 days
How much is 0.0000000406?
the distance between Earth and the Moon in light years.
Why does it take longer for light to reach earth then the time it takes light reflections off the moon to get to earth?
It doesn't. If the light reflecting off of the moon is what's reaching you first...then it's night time. The above answers is incorrect as u can see the moon during the day as well..... This is a little more complicated than you think. Firstly it takes about 8 minutes for the light from the Sun to reach Earth, and a second or so for it to reach the Moon. The light being reflected back to you from the moon is actually light from the Sun. So Light from Sun to Earth 8 minutes ( i am using round figures ) to the moon 8 minutes 1 second. Light from the Moon to the Earth is 1 sec. However the light your are seeing is 8 minutes and 2 seconds old, not 1 second. The reason you think it is quicker is because the Moon is closer to the Earth, its kind of a trick question. Or part of the time, the moon is closer to the sun than the Earth is. Like this morning when looking to the East just before sunrise, I saw a crescent moon. The light from the sun arrived at the moon first, then reflected to us. In this case, that path of light would be approximately the same distance as a beam of light directly from the sun.
How much of the moon gets light from the sun at all times?
It depends how much part of earth is in between sun and moon blocking sun's light as the moon is a sphere and earth's shadow causes it to look like being changing its shape.
Why is the moon illuminated?
The moon is illuminated because it reflects light from the Sun. This phenomenon is visible to us on Earth depending on the position of the moon in relation to the Sun and the Earth. Different phases of the moon result from how much of the illuminated side we can see from Earth.
What properties of the dark side of the moon prohibit it from reflecting light?
The only property of the "dark" side of the Moon that keep it from reflecting light is that not much light falls on the "dark" side of the Moon. That's why it is dark! However, this is something of a misnomer. When the Moon is at its crescent phase, when the majority of the illuminated half of the Moon is turned away from Earth, you can still see the "dark side" of the Moon, shining by reflected Earthshine! The light of the Sun hits the Earth, and bounces off. (Not only is the Earth much bigger than the Moon, but it is also much more reflective. You think the full Moon is bright? Wait until you're on the Moon and you see the Full Earth!) The Earth reflects light - more than the Moon does - and some of that light hits the Moon. Only a small percentage of the Earthshine that hits the Moon is reflected back to Earth, but it is enough to see the dimly gibbous Moon with the brilliant crescent.
