Do all people on Earth see the same phase of the moon within 24 hours Why or why not?

Yes because when its night over here its night all over half the world.
Answer:
Practically yes technically no. Two people, one on each side of the international date line , could see the moon simultaneously but on different days.
=====
Two people looking at the moon at the same instant of time, regardless of where
they're located, as long as they can both see it in their sky, see the same shape.
Note that it could just as well be daytime for one or both of them.

∙ 14y agoNo. Because of the Orbit of the Moon around the Earth & the 24 hr rotation of the Earth, we will always see the same face of the Moon. The only people to see the far side of the moon are the Apollo astronauts.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoWell, first of all..
"Are the phases of the moon..."
fixed.
Yes. Because of the different sight trajectories of two people on different geographical points of the earth. it is much the same as if to people are on a Baseball field, one at home plate, and one at third base. The person at first base is going to be seen on opposite sides by both of the others.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoWell, technically, everyone on Earth can't all see the moon at the same time.
But I know what you mean, and yes, everybody on the half of the Earth where
the moon is visible sees the same "shape" or phase at the same time.,
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoEverybody who can see the moon at the same instant sees the same phase.
Technically, it's not correct to say that the same phase would be seen several hours later.
The visibly illuminated fraction of the moon is always either increasing or decreasing, so the
exact shape is always changing. But if "phases" is taken to mean one out of the list:
- virtually invisible
- crescent
- gibbous
and
- virtually full
then yes, everybody on earth sees the same phase on the same calendar date,
whenever on that date the moon gets around to where they can see it.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoWell, not all over the world, because only 1/2 of the Earth can see the moon at
any one moment. But at any one moment, everybody who can see the moon in
their sky sees the same phase.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoNo. The phase is the phase, no matter your gaze.
No, but it will appear to be oriented a different way depending on your location.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoYes, no matter where you are on earth the same side of the moon is what you will see.
And it always in the same phase. If it's aFull Moon, then it's aFull Moon from everywhere.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoYes they are. Everybody on earth who can see the moon at the same instant of time
sees the same shape.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoObservers on the opposite side of the earth would just see stars; maybe a couple of planets too.

What is the highest energy phase naturally on earth?
Gas in the highest natural energy phase on earth. This is a fossil fuel that develops when animals, plants, and gases are buried and later provoked by intense heat or pressure that takes place over a longer period of time.
How do you find out what phase the moon is in?
It is VERY complicated using an Earth calendar, but you can search up a lunar calendar and find out.
When does the neap tides occurs on the earth?

How do you calculate 3 phase earth fault loop?
You can't have a three phase earth fault, you can have a phase to phase or a phase to earth fault. If you want the potential phase to earth fault current it will be your voltage times your impedance. If you want the phase to phase potential fault current then you should just double the above result.
What does short circit mean?

Phases around the earth?
If you're talking about the 'phases' of the moon, then: Everybody on the earth sees the same phase of the moon on the same date. Technically, the phase of the moon is always changing ... five minutes from now, the illuminated section will be slightly bigger or slightly smaller than it is right now. But in a practical sense, we usually don't notice any difference until we see the moon again several hours later. So it's essentially accurate to say that anybody on earth who looks at the moon within the next few hours ... whenever it appears in the sky wherever they are ... will see the same phase as you see right now.

Is the phase if the moon different places on earth?
Yes, this is because people at different geological points on earth see different angles of the illuminated light of the moon. Therefor they see a different phase at different times.
