What else can I help you with?
How much more direct sunlight does the polar region receive than the equator?
The polar regions never receive any direct sunlight.
Does the far side of the Moon receive any light?
The "nearside" of the Moon also receives Earthshine, sunlight reflected from the Earth which then hits the Moon. The full Earth is about 10 times brighter than the full moon!
What is it called when sunlight shines on the far side of the moon?
Crescent moon OR new moon. Actually any time except a full moon.
How is moonlight sunlight?
When the sunlight falls on the surface of the moon, then moon reflect that light towards the surroundings and then this reflected light falls on our eyes and the we say moon is lightning.
How much of the moon is lighted by sunlight?
At any given moment, only 50% of the moon is exposed to sunlight (just like the earth), assuming there is no lunar eclipse ocurring. However, over the course of a month, the entire lunar surface will be exposed to sunlight.
Why does the outer edge of the atmosphere at the north pole receive no solar radiation in December?
The axial tilt of the Earth causes the north pole to be tilted away from the Sun in December, resulting in no direct sunlight reaching that region. As a result, the outer edge of the atmosphere at the north pole does not receive any solar radiation during this time.
The moon and planets shine by what sunlight?
The moon shines by reflecting sunlight, just like any other object in the solar system. Planets shine by reflecting sunlight or producing their own light, such as in the case of Venus, which has a thick atmosphere that reflects sunlight.
What causes the moon to change it's shape?
The moon does not change shapes. The shadow of the earth on the moon changes how much of it you can see.Another viewpoint: I think this question is about the "phases" of the Moon.The Moon only appears to change shape during its different phases.Exactly one half of the Moon is in sunlight at any time. The phases occur because the Moon orbits Earth. That causes us to see different amounts of the sunlit Moon, and so its shape seems to change.
Where does Moon's reflective light come from?
The Moon's light is actually sunlight that is reflected off its surface. Despite appearing to emit light on its own, the Moon does not produce any light of its own but rather reflects the light it receives from the Sun.
Does the far side of the moon receive any light from the moon?
every side of the moon eventually gets sunlight, because the moon revolves around Earth and Earth revolves around the sun. but only half of the moon if ever lit at a time, and the light goes around the moon
What would happen to a bean plant if it did not receive any sunlight?
Chlorosis will occur and the plant will die
Why is the moon visible at night?
The moon's brightness comes from its ability to reflect sunlight. When the moon goes through phases, it is because the Earth is blocking some of the sunlight and casting its shadow on the moon.
