What else can I help you with?
When the lighted part of the moon faces in the direction of the sun the moon is called what?
a full moon
How will you describe the moon when its is in the general direction of the sun?
When the moon is in the general direction of the sun as seen from Earth, then we're looking at the part of it that's not illuminated all by the sun, and we see no moon at all.
What is the period after a full moon when the amount of the lighten side of the moon appears to be decreasing?
waning gibbous
Which direction does the moon move in as it crosses the sky?
The moon goes in the direction of its orbit
What is earth called when the lighten side of the moon faces away?
It's still called the Earth
IS the moon facing west or east when it is a full moon?
The Moon has no east-west direction with respect to Earth. East-west describes the direction of, or opposite direction of a sphere that is rotating. (Like Earth.) As it turns out, the same side of the Moon always faces the Earth. The phases of the Moon, like full Moon, result from which direction the SUN is from the Moon and Earth.
How will you describe the moon when it is in the general direction of the sun?
The Moon always keeps the same side facing the Earth.So, whatever direction you name, there is some place on the Moon from which the Earth appears in that direction, and if the observer doesn't move to a different place on the Moon, then the Earth doesn't move either. It's always in the same direction. The concept of "Earth rise" or "Earth set" does not apply on the Moon.(This video from Apollo 8 came as the spacecraft was circling the Moon in orbit.)Note that for about half of the Moon's surface (the far side), the Earth is never visible. During the full moon, very little of Earth is illuminated by the Sun, as seen from the Moon.
What is the direction of the moon's gravity?
Towards the moon's centre.
Is the moon's acceleration expressed as a change in speed or a change in direction?
The moon's acceleration is expressed as a change in direction.
What direction do you look to see the full moon when it first rises?
To see the full moon when it first rises, look toward the eastern horizon. The moon rises in the eastern part of the sky and moves westward as the night progresses.
What is the direction of the moon's revolution?
The moon revolves around the Earth in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from the North Pole.
What direction is the moon facing for tonight?
The direction the moon faces changes throughout the night as it moves across the sky. You can determine the moon's current direction by using a compass or a stargazing app that shows its location in real time.
