What else can I help you with?
True-false the phases of the moon depend on how much of the lighted side of the moon can be seen from earth?
True. The phases of the moon are determined by how much of the lighted side of the moon is visible from Earth as the moon orbits around it. This is why we see different phases like new moon, full moon, crescent, and gibbous.
Gravity on the moon is less than on the earth True or False?
True. Gravity on the moon is about one-sixth that of Earth's gravity.
True or false is the point at which the moon is orbiting closest to earth called perigee?
True. Perigee is the point in the moon's orbit when it is closest to Earth.
Why do you sometimes see the moon?
The moon can only be seen because it "borrows" the light from the sun. When the moon orbits the Earth the sunlit side of the moon changes - causing the moon to look like it changes shape. Many casual observers often believe that the moon's phases are caused by the Earth blocking the sun's light - this is not true, as the moon only passes through Earth's shadow occasionally.
Is it true that the moon orbits the earth?
Absolutely true. Proof? The moon moves across the sky at night (and day) dragging the Earth's oceans with it, causing tides.
Is it true that the Moon was a chunk of Earth?
It is not true that the Moon was a chunk of Earth. The leading theory is that the Moon was formed from debris created when a Mars-sized object collided with Earth early in its history. This collision released material that eventually coalesced to form the Moon.
Is the moon the star closest to earth true or false?
false the moon is not a star
The moon is falling freely to the earth it is true or false .why?
This is a false statement because the moon revolves around the earth.
True or false Earth's moon is larger than Pluto?
True. Earth's moon is larger than Pluto, with a diameter of about 3,474 km compared to Pluto's diameter of about 2,377 km.
Is it true the earth and the moon cast shadows?
yes
Is it true that the moon is always much closer to the earth than it is to the sun?
true
T or F The phases of the moon are caused by the positions of the Earth Sun and Moon?
True. The phases of the moon are caused by the positions of the Earth, Sun, and Moon in relation to each other. As the Moon orbits Earth, the Sun's light shines on different parts of the Moon, creating the changing patterns of light and shadow we see from Earth as the phases of the moon.
