At New Moon the dark side is turned towards us and the Sun shines on the opposite side.
A new moon.
yes
yes it shines on earth, but on the moon it only shines on it's front not on it's back side
Moonlight is actually reflected light from the sun, not the Earth. The Moon has no light of its own and shines by reflecting sunlight. The Moon's surface reflects varying amounts of sunlight depending on its phase.
The moon shines because it reflects light from the sun. Sunlight hits the surface of the moon, and the reflective properties of the moon's surface cause it to shine and appear bright in our night sky.
A lunar eclipse can occur when the Earth passes between the sun and the moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the moon. This creates a phenomenon where the sunlight is blocked from reaching the far side of the moon, resulting in a partial or total eclipse.
That would be a full moon.
Yes, the moon reflects sunlight. The moon has no light of its own, so it shines by reflecting the sunlight that hits its surface. This is why we can see the moon's different phases as it orbits the Earth.
This phenomenon is called a "lunar sunrise." It occurs when sunlight illuminates the far side of the moon as seen from Earth.
As mermaids are entirely fictional, nothing happens.
The moon's brightness comes from its ability to reflect sunlight. When the moon goes through phases, it is because the Earth is blocking some of the sunlight and casting its shadow on the moon.
The waxing crescent phase of the moon occurs when the moon is transitioning from new moon to first quarter. It appears as a small sliver of lighted side of the moon as seen from Earth. This phase happens as sunlight gradually illuminates a growing portion of the moon's surface.
