The gravitational pull of the Earth pulls the moon toward us, but the inertia of the moon makes it want to travel in a straight path, the result is that it travels in a circle around us called an orbit.
It is the reflection of the sun's light on the moon that makes it visible to us here on Earth.
The moon can appear bigger in the sky due to an optical illusion called the "moon illusion." This occurs when the moon is closer to the horizon, making it appear larger compared to when it is higher in the sky.
gravity. -.-
No. The moon Is constantly revolving around the Earth, which is revolving the Sun.
The sky itself does not actually change, but the human eye adjusts to the higher light level with a contraction of the pupil, which makes the sky look darker, when the moon appears.
Despite a popular belief, the Moon is not only seen at night. Depending on where the Moon is in its orbit round the Earth, may mean the Moon is in the sky during daylight. The bright sky makes it very difficult to see the Moon.
nut has the important power of make the sky and makes sure the stars, moon and sun have a pathway
The Moon, Sun and planets all appear in a strip of sky called the ecliptic. It is a plane defined by the plane of the Earth's orbit and the Sun is always on the ecliptic, while the Moon and planets stay close to it.
The changing shape of the moon in the sky is caused by its position relative to the Earth and the Sun. As the moon orbits the Earth, different portions of its illuminated surface are visible from our perspective, creating the appearance of different moon phases.
The blue of Earth's sky is caused by sunlight scattered in the atmosphere. When you get above the atmosphere, the sky turns black. The Moon has no atmosphere at all, and so the sky looks black at any altitude.
Technically speaking, when you cannot see the moon, it is a new moon. But my thinking is that if you can't see the moon, how can it be new? So my definition of a new moon is when you can see a smile in the sky because the moon is happy that it has just been born, but when you see a frown in the sky, the moon is sad because it is dying. Then you get the scientific "new moon."
Both the Sun and the Moon rises towards the East and sets towards the West. There are times during the Moon orbit round the Earth, when the Moon is in the sky during daylight. The brightness of the sunlight makes it difficult to spot the Moon in the sky.
