What else can I help you with?
Can the Great Wall of China be seen from earth's orbit?
yes, but not from the moon.
What is earths campanion?
That is sometimes what the Moon is called. Seen from Venus the Earth and Moon would be seen as a pair of bright planets up to 0.5 degrees apart at opposition, which is the diameter of the Moon as seen from Earth.
Is the orbit of moon around the earth is elliptical or round?
As seen by an observer on the Earth, the Moon's apparent orbit is distinctly elliptical. The orbit is subject to many perturbations and variations because of the Earth's elliptical motion around the Sun, and the fluid tidal envelope sloshing around the Earth. The eccentricity of the Moon's orbit varies between 0.026 and 0.077 .
Why does the moon stay in the earths orbit?
Orbiting bodies are held together by the mutual force of gravitation between them. Without gravity, the moon would go sailing away in a straight line, and would never be seen again. Similarly, the earth would go sailing away from the sun.
Why are there no planets on the moon?
Planets do not exist on other bodies, they orbit the sun independent of one another. The planets are easily visible from the moon. In fact they are probably even more easily seen than they are from Earth due to the moon's lack of an atmosphere.
How much of the moons surface can be seen from the earths surface when full?
The Moon is roughly spherical; weather permitting, we see the near half of the Moon.
What causes the phase of the moon as seen from earth?
The motion of the moon in its orbit, which takes it to positions where we see more or less of the moon's lighted half from earth.
Why does the moon show in daytime?
It is because it takes the moon about one month to orbit the earth and so it is possible for the moon to be seen in the sky the same time as the sun. click on 'related links' below to see a picture of moons orbit.
Why do most people notice when the moon enters the penumbra?
because its the earths shadow. it cant be seen fom earth ..
When the moon has completed three fourths of its orbit and only half of the lighted side can be seen what phase is this?
Last quarter.
How are a full moon and a crescent moon different?
The only difference between a full moon and a crescent moon is simple: the amount of light reflected off the moon, from the sun, towards the earth, where we can observe it. As the moon orbits the earth, at times, part of the moon will be obscured by the earth, allowing a shadow to be casted onto the moon by the earth. When the relative positions of the sun, earth and moon are not in line with each other, there will be no shadow cast on the moon, thus a full moon is seen. When they are slightly in line, with the earth in the middle, then part of the moon will be in the earth's shadow. Whether or not this part-moon is a crescent depends on the amount of reflected light we are able to see. You might want to take a look at the phases of the moon, the orbit of the earth around the sun and the orbit of the moon around the earth to have a better understanding of how moon phases are formed. Other moon phases include the new moon (nothing can be seen) and the gibbous moon (opposite of the crescent, where most of the moon can be seen, instead of only a bit.
Is the moon in the sky during the day?
The moon can be seen in the sky during daylight, depending on where it is in its orbit. But, due to the brightness of daylight, the moon may be very difficult to see with the naked eye.
