When do The Moon appears larger in the sky during?

Is the moon closer during an annular eclipse?
No. During an annular eclipse the moon is farther away than during a total eclipse, which is why it appears smaller in the sky and cannot completely block the sun.
Why does the moon appears to travel across the sky?
Because it does travel across the sky, the moon orbits the earth, the earth doesn't orbit the moon.
Why is the moon so high in the sky?
The moon appears high in the sky because the moon is in space. We are on earth.We are on the ground and the moon is in the sky. The moon appears to be highest in the sky in the tropical regions of the world, just like the sun - since the moon's orbit is almost perpendicular to the tropics.At higher latitudes, the moon will appear lower in the sky for the same reason as the sun is.

How many times larger would earth appear in the lunar sky than the moon appears in your sky?
Roughly four (4) times as large.
Is the full moon visible during the daytime?
No. When the moon is full, it appears half-the-sky away from the sun, so it can't be in the sky at the same time that the sun is.
Is the moon closer during an annular eclipse?
No. During an annular eclipse the moon is farther away than during a total eclipse, which is why it appears smaller in the sky and cannot completely block the sun.
Why is the moon sky dark and filled with stars day and night?
The blueness of the earth's sky is due to the sunlight passing through the atmosphere. There is no atmosphere on the moon, so the sky appears black. The sky is not filled with stars during the day on the moon, with the sun in the sky it is far too bright to see the stars.
What color is the sky when you are on the moon?
To an observer anywhere outside the atmosphere of a planet, including on the moon, the sky appears black everywhere except where a star or illuminated body appears.
Why does the moon appears to travel across the sky?
Because it does travel across the sky, the moon orbits the earth, the earth doesn't orbit the moon.

Does the moon appear to be a different size when it has risen full?
The full moon appears larger when it's low in the sky than it does when it's high. That's easily shown to be an optical illusion. For example, when the moon is photographed both high and low in the sky, both images on the film are the same size.
Can moon rise occur during the daytime?
The earth orbits the sun, and the moon orbits the earth. Often, during the moon's orbit phase, it will appear during daylight. Once the sunlight has grown bright, the moon will appear less visible to the naked eye in the bright sky. Though it is commonly accepted (in nursery rhymes, especially) that the sun appears in the day and the moon appears in the night, this is not the case!
Why does the Earth appears almost as small from the Moon as the Moon does from the Earth?
I dont think so; Earth would appear to be bigger from moon compared to what Moon appears to be from Earth The earth's diameter is 3.67 times the moon's diameter. As seen from the moon, the earth appears 3.67 times as large in the sky as the moon appears from earth.
