Since Earth has about 4 times the diameter of the Moon, the angular diameter of Earth, as seen from the Moon, is about 4 times larger than the angular diameter of the Moon, as seen from Earth. Since the Moon's angular diameter as seen from here is about half a degree, that would make Earth's angular diameter about 2 degrees.If you wish, you can look up more exact figures and do more precise calculations, but it is hardly worth the trouble, since there is some variation in the distance from Earth to Moon anyway.
What else can I help you with?
Is the phase of the moon depend on how much of the lighted side of the moon can be seen from earth?
Not exactly. The lighted side of the moon as seen from Earth is that part that is not shadowed by the Earth.
What Can only occur when the moon is new and has angular size larger than the sun in the sky?
A total solar eclipse can only occur when the moon is new and its angular size appears larger than the sun in the sky. During a total solar eclipse, the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, completely blocking the sun's light and casting a shadow on the Earth.
What are the changing veiw of the moon seen from the earth?
moon phases
What is the difference between angular and linear diameter?
linear velocity is a change of speed in a linear fashion. Angular speed is the rate of change of angle with respect to time. These two are convertible in a case of a circle motion. the lenght of an arc is l = RO. where O is the angle. hence v= l/t and therefore v=RA where A = O/t.
Which is the moon phase that no ne of the lighted surface of the moon can be seen from earth?
New moon.
Do the sun and moon have the same angular diameter?
No, the sun and moon do not have the same angular diameter. The sun appears larger in the sky because it is much larger and closer to Earth than the moon. The sun's angular diameter is about 32 arcminutes, while the moon's angular diameter is about 31 arcminutes on average.
What is the angular diameter of the moon?
Well, isn't that a wonderful question! The angular diameter of the Moon can vary from around 29 to 34 arcminutes because of its elliptical orbit around Earth over time. Imagine holding a pencil at arm's length - that's like how your eyes see the Moon in the sky, changing and dancing with the night. Happy exploring!
Do planets with moons have eclipses as often as earth?
Planets with moons may indeed have Earth-like eclipses. Eclipses happen when moon orbital plane intersects with planet orbital plane with respect to its star. Eclipses can only happen however if angular diameter of the moon is similar to (or greater than) angular diameter of star as seen from planet's surface, which is quite a rare condition. In the whole Solar System moon-eclipses only happen on Earth.
Why does the angular diameter of the sun as seen from earth appear to be greater during our winter than summer?
earth is closer to the Sun during our winter
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.
What is the angular diameter of Jupiter as seen from Callisto?
The angular diameter of Jupiter as seen from Callisto is approximately 65 arcminutes. This means that Jupiter appears to be about 1 degree wide in the sky from Callisto, which is one of Jupiter's moons.
Why is the moon not seen from the earth?
The moon is seen from the Earth...
Why does the Earth appears almost as small from the Moon as the Moon does from the Earth?
I dont think so; Earth would appear to be bigger from moon compared to what Moon appears to be from Earth The earth's diameter is 3.67 times the moon's diameter. As seen from the moon, the earth appears 3.67 times as large in the sky as the moon appears from earth.
What can be seen from earth's orbit other than the moon?
The moon's phases can be seen from the earth, but not by an observer on the moon. Similarly, the earth's phases can be seen from the moon, but not by an observer on the earth.
What moons can be seen from earth?
Only our moon ("The Moon") can be seen from Earth.
What is the diameter of the sun as seen from earth?
The diameter of the sun as seen from Earth is approximately 1.4 million kilometers.
What does the degree of magnification of a telescope?
The magnification indicates how much bigger something will be seen. For example, with the naked eye, the Moon has an angular diameter of half a degree; with a 40x magnification, it will look like it has 20 degrees.
