What else can I help you with?
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.
What planet block the light from moon?
No planet blocks the light from the moon. The moon's phases are caused by the position of the moon relative to Earth and the Sun. At times, the Earth's shadow can cause a lunar eclipse, but this is not a planet blocking the moon's light.
An eclipse of the Moon can only occur during a Full Moon because?
A lunar eclipse is caused by the Earth's shadow covering the moon. For this to happen, the Earth must be in between the Sun (the source of light) and the moon. The moon's light is caused by reflected light from the Sun, and so a full moon also occurs when the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun (but a lunar eclipse does not occur every full moon because the moon also moves up and down slightly as it orbits the Earth).
Does the light of the moon cause a physical shadow?
A shadow is caused when there is less light or no light in an area. An object can block the light and thereby cause a shadow. If the light reflecting off the moon is a source of light, objects blocking this light can cause a shadow.
Does the moon ever turn rainbow?
No. The moon reflects light from the sun. The light reaches the Earth through the atmosphere. If the atmosphere contains particles, dust, or water vapour, the moon may appear slightly different from normal but unfortunately, not rainbow.
What round sphere that does not give off light of its own?
The moon is a sphere that does not give off light of it's own. Rather, moonlight is caused by the sun's reflection off the moon.
What causes the shadow which makes the moon change its shape?
The shadow is caused by the earth blocking the path of the light from the sun casting shadow on the moon. When the earth is not in between the sun and the moon then we have a "full moon."
If circle is formed around the moon it causes some problems to moon if it has some effect on moon?
I think it is caused by the reflection of moon light on ice crystals.That's right, what you see is in the Earth's atmosphere and has no effect on the moon.
What is the corona around the moon?
It is not the most outer layer of the moon, It is an optical phenomena which occurs as light reflected by the moon is then diffracted through water droplets (clouds) in our atmosphere. forming a halo.
Do phases of the moon have anything to do with Earth's shadow falling on the moon?
No, the phases of the moon are caused by the sun's light hitting the moon at different angles when viewed from Earth. The Earth's shadow is what causes a lunar eclipse.
What planet passed in front of the moon on 21st December 2010?
Earth I assume you are referring to the lunar eclipse. It was caused when the moon went into the Earth's shadow. The red colour was caused because the only light getting to the moon was all the sunrises and sunsets over the whole Earth.
What is a moon dog?
A moon dog (moondog), or paraselene, is a lunar halo caused by light refraction off ice crystals high in the atmosphere. A link can be found below.
