What blocks the veiw of the moon?
The only thing that blocks the moon is the earth.
What is the differences between a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse?
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, blocking the sunlight. A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth comes between the sun and the moon, causing Earth's shadow to cover the moon.
During a lunar eclipse the shadow of what celestial body blocks your view of the moon?
It depends on the time of day, and year, and solar cycle. Its never the same exact point. In a total eclipse, the photosphere (and everything inside that, such as the core) is blocked by the moon but the corona is visible.
Why is solar energy prevented from reaching the moon during a solar eclipse?
The Earth. In a lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow blocks sunlight from hitting the Moon.
Which object's shadow travels across part of earth during a solar eclipse?
During a solar eclipse, it is the shadow of the moon that travels across part of the Earth as it passes between the Earth and the Sun. This creates the phenomenon where the moon blocks the sunlight from reaching the Earth's surface, causing a temporary darkness known as the eclipse.
What happens when they go behind the moon?
When a spacecraft goes behind the Moon as observed from Earth, it enters into a temporary radio blackout period known as a lunar occultation. This occurs because the Moon blocks the line of sight between the spacecraft and Earth, interrupting communication signals. Once the spacecraft emerges from behind the Moon, communication is reestablished.
What blocks the veiw of the moon?
The only thing that blocks the moon is the earth.
Does the far side of the Moon receive signals from a greater area of the sky than the near side?
The far side of the moon would receive the same signals with the exception of Earth originating signals. The radio equipment would not be subject to interference from the Earth signals on the far side so space originating signals would be easier to study.
Why did Apollo 11 lose radio contact with earth while on the dark side of the moon?
Yes, and so did every other Apollo mission. The moon blocks the communication signals from being sent to Earth, and contact was only regained when the spacecraft began to emerge around the other side.
Did we land on the near side of the moon?
Yes. There was no choice; if they landed on the lunar far side, their radio and TV signals would not reach Earth (with the Moon itself in the way!).
What is an eclispe?
When the moon blocks the Sun's light from reaching Earth, and also when our planet Earth blocks the Sun's light from reaching the moon.
What is it called when the moon blocks sunlight from reaching the earth?
a Lunar Eclipse
How did NASA get live feed television communications to and from the Moon surface?
They sent cameras and microphones to the moon with the astronauts and used radio to stranmit the signals back the receiving stations on Earth.
What happened when Apollo 8 orbited the far side of the moon?
When Apollo 8 orbited the far side of the moon, the crew lost communication with Earth because radio signals were blocked by the moon. They became the first humans to see the "dark side" of the moon and took iconic photos of Earth rising over the lunar horizon.
Why do astronauts have radio transmitters when they are on moon?
So they can talk to each other and Earth, even though there is no air.Astronauts have radio transmitters on moon as they cannot communicate with each other.Sound cannot travel if there is no air. As there is no air on the moon astronauts need radio transmitters when they are on moon.
When the earth blocks the light of the sun on the moon what is it called?
Eclipse of the moon.
When the moon blocks the sun's light to the earth it is?
When the moon blocks the sun's light to the earth, it is a solar eclipse. This occurs when the moon moves between the sun and the earth, casting a shadow on the earth and temporarily blocking the sun's light.
