What else can I help you with?
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
What needs to happen for a new moon to occur?
The moon does not actually change shape - when we only see part of the moon, that's because that's the only part the sun illuminates from our point on Earth. When we see a new moon, however, that means the sun is illuminating nothing on the moon that we can see.
When you watch the sun rise and set you actually see earth revolution around the moon?
You see Earth's revolution around the sun.. the moon revolves around the Earth, not the other way around.
Is the moon full when the Earth is closer to the sun?
No, the phase of the moon is not determined by the Earth's distance to the sun. A full moon occurs when the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the sun, which allows sunlight to fully illuminate the side of the moon facing Earth.
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.
What causes the moon to change?
the different shapes are called phases and they change as the moon moves round the earth and therefore changes the distance from the sun so the dark part is the shadow of the moon and the part you can see is the part in the sunlight.Additional answerThe moon doesn't actually change shape. You may be asking why it sometimes looks round, at other times, crescent shaped. It's not changed shape, it's that you can only see part of it, and different parts at different times. When the position of the moon, earth and sun are such that they are in that order, the whole side of the moon that's towards the earth is lit by the sun and we see it as a round shape. But usually the earth is not exactly in between the moon and the sun, but a bit offset. We then see part of the moon that's not lit as well as part that is. The part that is varies in its apparent shape depending on just how much of it we can see. If most of what we can see is unlit, the lit bit looks like a slim crescent.Also, the phases do not change as the moon moves round the earth but how its relationship with the sun and earth changes
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.

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.
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
What percent of the moon is lit by the sun at any time how can you tell?
Roughly half of the moon is lit by the sun at all times. The moon revolves around the earth so we only see the part of the moon that actually faces the sun, which is how the moon has phases.
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.
