How scientist were able to arrived at the destined layers of the earth?

Earthquakes create waves which travel through the Earth until they reach the other side of Earth. Scientists can measure these waves, and by knowing where they originated, they can see how they bend. The waves bend as they go through the Earth due to the differing densities of the layers. For example, the waves cannot travel through the core, they must bend around it. By studying how the waves bend, scientist know where the density changes in the layers. The layers classified according to this are called the crust, mantle, and core. They are called the physical layers because they differ physically (they have different densities, composition, etc.). The process is very complex, and this is a simplified answer, so feel free to look it up if you are still curious. You could look for something like "discovery of the layers". I hope this made sense.

One side of the earth is facing the sun and the other side is what?

The side facing the sun experiences daytime, while the side facing away experiences nighttime. This is due to the earth's rotation on its axis, which causes different parts of the planet to be illuminated by the sun at different times.


Why is only one part of the moon is seen at different times of the moon?

The rotation of the moon is at the same rate as its trip around the planet, so the same side always faces earth. This was caused by the influence of gravity over the billions of years since they formed.


What is it called when the side of the moon facing earth receives no sun light?
