Can you see the moon phases in space?
The phases of the moon are caused by the relative positions of the sun, the moon and the observer. It is possible to see phases of the moon in space depending on your position relative to the sun and the moon.
Does the earths rotation cause the Moon's phases?
Not only the earth's rotation , the lunar phases change cyclically as the Moon orbits the Earth, according to the changing positions of the Moon and Sun relative to the Earth.
How do you explain how the phases of the moon are caused by the revolution of the moon around the earth and the position of the sun?
the phases of the y how much sunlight the moon is moon are caused by how much sunlight the moon is reflecting
What causes the phases of the moon clipsesand tides?
The phases of the Moon are caused by the Moon moving in orbit around the Earth, being lit by the Sun from different angles. Eclipses are caused by the Moon in its orbit passing either between the Earth and the Sun (solar eclipse) or through the Earth's shadow (lunar eclipse). The tides are caused by the gravitational attraction of the Moon (major factor) or Sun (minor factor, because it's farther away) as the Earth rotates on its axis so justou and your carz
Do the phases of the moon cause seasons?
No. The phases of the moon are completely unrelated to the seasons. The seasons are caused by the tilt of earth's axis of rotation.
Are phases of moon evidence of shape of the earth?
No, it has nothing to do with the shape of the Earth. Phases of the Moon are caused by the relative positions of the Sun, the Earth and the Moon. When seen through a telescope, Venus presents similar phases. However, the circular shape of Earth's shadow that is projected on the Moon' surface during a lunar eclipse is evidence that the Earth is round.

Why we see the different phases of the moon from earth?
The phases are caused by the angle that the sunlight strikes the moon.

Are the phrases of the moon caused by the positions of the moon and earth?
Yes

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 caused the phases of earths moon?
because of the location of the moon with respect to the sun and earth.

Spring and neap tides occur in a patterns governed by?
the relative positions of Earth,moon,and sun(the phases of the moon)
Are the phases of the moon caused by the Moon's orbit around the earth?
Yes - actually it is caused by the varying angle between Sun, Earth, and Moon; and that depends mainly on the Moon's orbit.
Do the phases of the moon cause seasons?
No. The phases of the moon are completely unrelated to the seasons. The seasons are caused by the tilt of earth's axis of rotation.
