Can you only see the part of the moon that the sun shines on?
Yes Because the suns light reflects on the moon. we cannot see the sun because its on the back part of the earth so we will be on the dark side
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.
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.
Why can all on the earth not see the sun at the same time?
First of all the earth is on an axis that slowly spins everyday. making it impossible for both sides to have the sun on all of it everyday. Second is that we rotate around the sun so only one part can have the sun on it. The way sunsets and sunrises come up are because the earth is turning making us see part of the sun but not all of it. That is also why we have seasons and why there are different time zones. It is because the earth is always turning. Take your hand for instance if you tilt it to the side and go outside, only one part of your hand will have sun on it. If you turn your hand some than a different part of your hand has sun that is kind of how the earth works.
Why is the sun not always in the sky?
The sun and moon are always in the sky, but for half of the time, the earth turns you away from the part of the sky where they are, so that you can't see them. During those times, people on the other side of the earth can see them.
Why do you see the sun at daytime?
the part of the earth that you are on faces the sun. (the earth rotates on its axis) When it faces the sun, you see it.
What part of the sun do we see from Earth?
Photosphere
The part of the Sun that is normally visible from the Earth is?
From Earth, the Photosphere is the part visible on the Sun, though the Corona is the top layer of the Sun. We cannot see the Corona because the Photosphere is so bright.
Why do you see the sun but not the other stars?
Day and night are caused by Earth rotating. At night the part of Earth you are on is facing away from the sun, so Earth itself blocks the sun from view.
Why do you see other stars at night but not the Sun?
Day and night are caused by Earth rotating. At night the part of Earth you are on is facing away from the sun, so Earth itself blocks the sun from view.
What part of the sun do you actually see from the earth?
all of it.......... since we orbit around the sun we eventually through out the year see the whole thing.
What part of the sun gives off sunlight traveling to earth in 8.3 minutes?
The outer part of the Sun, that emits the light we see, is called the photosphere.
When do you see the whole lighted part of the moon?
When the Moon is the opposite side of the Earth to the Sun.
Can you only see the part of the moon that the sun shines on?
Yes Because the suns light reflects on the moon. we cannot see the sun because its on the back part of the earth so we will be on the dark side
Is the center of the earth part of the sun?
Of course not. If it's the center of the Earth, it means that it's part of the Earth, not the sun.
Where does the moon appear when there is eclipse in one phase of the earth?
Dear studentMoon revolves round the earth in an elliptical orbit.A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes behind the earth so that the earth blocks the sun's rays from striking the moon. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth and Moon are aligned exactly, or very closely so, with the Earth in the middle. The people on the part of the earth which faces the sun could not see the moon.But who are on the other part or opposite part of the earth can see the moon.Santosh jha9868012495
