The sun is perpendicular to the Earth and the Moon, in the direction of the bright half of the Moon.
The moon has moved eastward in its orbit from the new moon phase and forms a 90 angle with the sun and earth, and the moon appears half bright and half dark.
The moon looks bright due to its size because of its closeness to Earth in comparison to very distant stars and planets combined with reflected sunlight.
2. New Moon (little light); First Quarter (a half moon - will be a different half as viewed from the other hemisphere, because folk there are looking as if upside down); Full moon (very bright); Last Quarter, (another half moon.).
The sun got so bright one day that it burned a hole through the moon, the other half of the moon got sucked up into a black hole in space. This was all witnessed by NASA in 1901.
The sun is perpendicular to the Earth and the Moon, in the direction of the bright half of the Moon.
Moon takes light from the sun and it absorb and reflect so it looks bright.
The illuminated part
The moon has moved eastward in its orbit from the new moon phase and forms a 90 angle with the sun and earth, and the moon appears half bright and half dark.
in the lake, when the moon is half-dark and half-bright
The light we see from the Sun is from the Sun itself; the entire surface of the Sun is bright. Only half of the Moon is bright, because it is illuminated by the Sun. The sun generates light, the moon can only reflect it, not generate any.
You have to get it in the lake were the moon is half dark, and half bright. Not in the sea.
because of the suns bright light shining on the surface of the moon
The moon looks bright due to its size because of its closeness to Earth in comparison to very distant stars and planets combined with reflected sunlight.
