What else can I help you with?
If you can see a full moon at your position on earth what type of moon will you see if you go exactly the opposite side of the world on the same day?
If you can see a full moon at your position on Earth, then someone on the exact opposite side of the world will see a new moon. This is because the full moon is when the side of the moon facing Earth is fully illuminated by the sun, so the side facing away from Earth is in shadow.
The phases of the moon depend on how much of the lighted side of the moon can be seen from earth?
From earth we see the same side of the moon but depending on the position of the moon, earth, sun we see different portions of the moon- these are known as the phases of the moon.
Does the international space station see the earth's moon?
As it orbits the Earth there are times it can see the moon and there are times when it is on the opposite side of the Earth to the moon, so it can't see it.
What is the phrase when you see the entire side of the moon facing the earth?
The side of the moon we see is properly called the "near side" as we always see this face. The other side, facing away from the earth, is the "far side". As different regions of the moon see sunlight as it orbits the earth, it is usually incorrect to call any side the "dark side"
What side of the moon do we see?
We only see one side of the moon from Earth, a phenomenon known as tidal locking. This means that the same side of the moon always faces Earth due to its synchronous rotation with its orbit around Earth.
Which side of the moon do you see from earth?
The "near" side of the moon is the side that always faces Earth. The "far" side of the moon can only be seen from space. The dark side of the moon is the title of a Pink Floyd album. There is no side of the moon that is always dark.
Which side of the moon faces earth when the moon orbits the earth?
-- The visible side.-- The outside.It's usually called the "near side" of the Moon. The side we can't see is calledthe "far side".
Do all earth hemispheres see the same side of the moon?
As long as you're on Earth, you will always see the same side of the moon. This is because the moon is tidally locked with the earth, meaning is rotational period is the same as its revolutionary period. This allows us to always see the same side of the moon, no matter where on earth we are.
Why is the side of the moon is always facing earth?
The moon does not rotate on its own axis like Earth does. If you were on the moon looking at the earth you would see it slowly turning. As you have observed,we only see the same side of the moon from earth because the moon does not turn on its own axis.
Could you see earth if you were standing on the dark side of the moon?
If you look down, you will see the surface of the moon. If you look up, you will be able to see other celestial bodies in the sky, such as Earth, stars, other planets, etc., as long as they are not currently below the horizon of the moon. However, since the moon keeps the same face toward the Earth, if you are not on the side facing Earth, you will not see the Earth at all.
Why can't you see the other half of the moon?
The Moon orbits the Earth, while the Earth is orbiting the Sun. Because the Moon is moving, we see it in different positions relative to the Sun; we call this the "phases of the Moon". Only when the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun will we see a "full" moon.
Why can you not stand on earth and see the far side of the moon?
The Moon is tidally locked to Earth; the Moon's "day" and the Moon's month are the same length. So the "near side" of the Moon always faces the Earth, and the "far side" always faces away from Earth.
