What else can I help you with?
Why do people on Earth see only one side of the Moon when the Moon is visible in the sky?
cause we are asleep
Why don't we see the moon very well during the day?
The Earth's atmosphere and the light from the Sun can cause you to not see the moon during the daytime.
As the moon moves around Earth a person doesnt always see the fully lit side of the moon this cause what phenomenon?
Phases of the moon.
Why do we nly see one part of the moon from the earth?
We only see one part of the Moon form the Earth because the Moon's orbit is tidally locked to the Earth. This means that the Moon rotates on its axis in exactly the same time as it takes for it to make one orbit round the Earth. This cause the same face of the Moon to be presented to us at all times.
Does the international space station see the earth's moon?
As it orbits the Earth there are times it can see the moon and there are times when it is on the opposite side of the Earth to the moon, so it can't see it.
Does the position of earth and the moon cause Moon's phase?
No, the position of the Moon and the Sun as OBSERVED from the Earth.
Why don't eclipse occur during every full moon or new moon?
This is because the Moon needs to be blocking the source of light provided to us, this source is the Sun. The 'new moon' is the first phase where there is almost no visible moon. The 'full moon' is where you can see the whole moon. To cause a solar eclipse, the moon needs to be in the line of the Earth and the Sun, and to cause a Lunar eclipse, the Earth needs to be in the line of the Sun and the Moon. Sun-Moon-Earth = Solar Eclipse Sun-Earth-Moon = Lunar Eclipse
Why you can see the phases of the moon?
The phases of the moon are visible because of the relative positions of the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun. As the Moon orbits the Earth, different portions of its illuminated side are visible from Earth, creating the cycle of full, new, and crescent phases. The changing angles between the Earth, Moon, and Sun cause the appearance of the moon's shape to change over the course of a month.
Does the moon go through phases because of the Earth's shadow on the moon?
NO. That's a misconception. Only the half of the Moon that is facing the Sun at any particular time is sunlit. We see varying amounts of that hemisphere as the Moon orbits Earth. That is the cause of the Moon's phases.
Why does it seems like the moon go's around the earth once a day?
It seems as if the moon go's around the earth once a day because of the moon's rotation around the earth cause us (humans) to see the moon in it's different phases which also is every hoir
What changes of the moon do you see from Earth?
The phases of the moon as it orbits the earth
What is the cause of a phase?
The moon orbits around the earth, therefore it constantly moves into a different location. Each time the moon moves, sunlight will shine on a different portion of the moon. When the moon is in between the earth and the sun, we will see the "dark side" of the moon (a new moon) since there is no light shining on the side we can see from earth. The visible side is facing the sun. When the earth is in between the sun and the moon (not directly in between), we will see a full moon because the sunlight has access to light up the entire face of the moon that we can see. Technically, there is always a "full moon" because one face of the moon is always lit up. We just say that the moon has different phases because we can't always see the fully-lit up side from the earth.
