Why do we nly see one part of the moon from the earth?
We only see one part of the Moon form the Earth because the Moon's orbit is tidally locked to the Earth. This means that the Moon rotates on its axis in exactly the same time as it takes for it to make one orbit round the Earth. This cause the same face of the Moon to be presented to us at all times.
Explain what causes us to see the different phases of the moon Include in your explanation a reference to the motion of the moon involved the relationship of the earth's and moon's plane of orbit a?
What you can see of the moon is the light of the sun on the moon. The part that is dark is where the sun's light is not shining on the moon. The part where the light of the sun is on the moon is experiencing "moon day" and where it is not shining is the "moon night." When the moon is in part of its orbit that is between the earth and the sun, we mostly see the part of the moon which is dark. Since the moon is on the sun's side of the earth, we see it during the day. So a New Moon can always be seen during the day. Conversely, when the moon is in the part of its orbit in which the earth is between the moon and the sun, we mostly see the part of the moon which is in sunshine. We mostly see the moon at night, and a Full Moon can always be seen during the night. It is important to note that the dark part of the moon is not the earth's shadow on the moon. The earth's shadow falls on the moon occurs during a lunar eclipse, which is always during a full moon because the earth is between the sun and the moon and always seen at night.
Does the orbit of the earth affect how you see the moon?
Nothing effects it.
How can you see the moon orbit the earth?
You can't. You just see it in different places.
Why can we not see the Moon?
The usual cause is that the moon is hidden behind a thickly overcast sky. The other reason is that the moon is in a part of its orbit that puts it on a side of the earth that is hidden from an observer.
Where is the moon in its orbit when you cant see it?
The moon orbits the earth. When you can not see it, it is on the other side of the earth. That happens once a day as the earth spins on its axis.
Why do you see the moon differently each day?
The changing appearance of the moon is due to its orbit around the Earth. As the moon moves in its orbit, the angle between the sun, Earth, and moon changes, causing different portions of the moon to be illuminated and visible from Earth. This creates the phases of the moon that we see from Earth.
Can people only see the part of the moon where the sun is shining on it?
This is essentially correct. When part of the moon is in darkness, we can't see it. Additionally, the same side of the moon faces earth all the time as our satellite is locked in its orbit to constantly face earth. We only see the portion of the moon that is both illuminated by the sun and facing the earth.
What side of the moon do you see from earth?
You always see the same side - as the moon takes the same time to orbit the earth as it does to rotate once on its axis !
What effect does the Moon's and earth's orbit have on the moon phases and the way we see them?
The effect of the moon is werewolfs come out and howl
What part of the moon do earthlings see?
Humans inhabiting Earth never see the dark side of the moon. The reason humans can never view this side of the moon is because the time it takes for the Moon to rotate once is the same amount of time it takes for it to orbit around the Earth. Therefore, humans will never see the dark side of the moon.
Why don't you see the full moon every day?
Because of the moon's orbit around Earth, and the Earth's rotation around the sun...
