How much of the moons surface is iluminated by the sun?
1 half
What dramatically affects the surface of all planets and moons?
the sun
What reflects from the moons surface and causes it to shine?
rays of light from the sun
All of the Moon's surface has faces and earth is lit up is called what?
the answer is the sun
What is the Moon's lit portion?
The Moon's lit portion, also known as its illuminated hemisphere, varies depending on its position relative to the Sun and Earth. At any given time, the Moon can show a full, half, crescent, or gibbous shape as sunlight illuminates different fractions of its surface.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
Why the percentage of the Moon is always lit by the Sun 50 percent?
The percentage of the Moon that is lit by the Sun varies depending on its position in its orbit. At certain points, half of the Moon's surface may be illuminated (50%); this is known as a First or Third Quarter Moon. This occurs because we see different portions of the illuminated half from Earth as the Moon orbits.
What powers surface ocean currents?
Uneven heating from the sun.
How many numbers of moons are on the sun?
There are no moons on the sun.
Why do planets and moons seem to appear shiny?
They reflect light from the sun back to observers on earth, unlike the stars, which emit their own light. Everything in our solar system is `lit up` by our sun, which emits light. The planets and moons (along with comets and other objects) don't emit light themselves, but are illuminated by the sun.
Whether you could see it or not how much of the Earths surface is always lit?
Approximately 50% of Earth's surface is always lit (daytime) due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis around the sun.
What percentage of the Moon is lit?
The moon is ALWAYS 50% (+/-) illuminated. Though we only see all of the half lit side when the moon is opposite the sun (Full Moon).
