What is the visible portion of the sun during an eclipse?
The corona, which is the sun's plasma 'atmosphere'.
Why is a comet visible for only a short portion of its orbit around the sun?
because the comet can't stay in the suns pull and the Earth pulls it for a short time
How does visible light cause earths surface to become warmer?
Visible light is an insignificant portion of the solar radiation that warms the Earth. The sun's infrared radiation, also known as 'heat', is responsible for virtually all of it.
Where is a person standing if they experience a total solar eclipse?
When it occurs, a solar eclipse is visible over only a portion of the earth. In order to see it, you must stand: -- at a place on earth where the eclipse will be visible, -- outdoors -- in the daytime, i.e. between the hours of sunrise and sunset
When the earth goes around sun what you notice about the direction of tilt of earth's axis of rotation?
The tilted axis of the earth when it's travelling around the sun actually causes the seasons. The portion of the earth that is tilted away from the sun will be experiencing winter, while the portion that is tilted towards the sun would be experiencing summer, as it will be warmer and the days will be longer
The part of the Sun that is normally visible from the Earth is?
From Earth, the Photosphere is the part visible on the Sun, though the Corona is the top layer of the Sun. We cannot see the Corona because the Photosphere is so bright.

Does earth blocks part of the sunlight that shines on the Moon's surface?
Only during a lunar eclipse, which can only happen during a full moon. The visible phases of the moon are caused by it changing its position relative to Earth and the sun. The visible portion is the moon's day side; the side facing toward the sun. The unlit portion is the night side, facing away from the sun.

Are all parts of the earth affected by eclipses?
Solar eclipses are visible only for a small portion of the Earth's surface where the moon covers the sun. Lunar eclipses in which the Earth's shadow covers the moon are visible for long distances but it's the color of the moon effected by those not the Earth.
Why is a comet visible for only a short portion of its orbit around the sun?
because the comet can't stay in the suns pull and the Earth pulls it for a short time
Are sun spots visible?
They can be visible from Earth without the aid of a telescope.

Why the moon changes through a cycle each month?
The moon does not change (much). What an observer on Earth sees changes as the Moon orbits the Earth and the Earth/Moon system orbits the Sun much more slowly is the illuminated portion of the moon growing (covering more and more of the visible portion of the Moon) and when the Moon is full, the Sun Earth and Moon are more or less in line (if they were exactly in line it would be a lunar eclipse - which does happen a few times each year). Then as the Moon continues to rotate around the Earth, night after night, less and less of the illuminated portion is visible to the observer on Earth.
Why is new moon sometimes visible?
Because of the sun light reflecting off of it. Update: Normally new moons are invisible since the moon is between the Earth and Sun. However during the rare solar eclipses the new moon will be visible as a silhouette.
