To an observer on the moon able to see earth how long would one full cycle of earth phases be?
It would be about 29.5 earth days. Or, precisely the same length of time as a full cycle of moon phases.
When a full moon goes through the shadow of the Earth what occurs?
The Lunar Eclipse..
When the moon is growing bigger it is known as?
The moon changes it's shape as it orbits the Earth. When it goes from a crescent to full, it's called "Waxing". When it goes from Full to crescent it's called "Waning".
How do the relative motions of the earth sun and moon lead to eclipses?
The Earth goes round the Sun in an orbit, while the Moon travels round the Earth. If those orbits were in exactly the same plane we would have a solar eclipse at every new Moon and a lunar eclipse at every Full Moon. The Moon's orbit is at an angle to the Earth's, so at most full/new moons the Moon is above or below the plane of the Earth's orbit (known as the ecliptic). But if the Moon is crossing the ecliptic at full or new moon, we get an eclipse.
How would your lives be changed if clouds were opaque?
We would not have light Because when light reflects transparent and transculent it goes through but opaque doesnt
Do solar eclipses occur at full or new moon?
New moon (the Earth goes into the shadow of the Moon) Lunar eclipses occur at full moon (the Moon goes into the Earth's shadow)
To an observer on the moon able to see earth how long would one full cycle of earth phases be?
It would be about 29.5 earth days. Or, precisely the same length of time as a full cycle of moon phases.
How long would it take for us to know about a star that goes supernova from 500 light years away?
The light of the explosion wouldn't arrive at the Earth for 500 years.
How do you get a full solar eclipse?
You don't "get" a solar eclipse. The occur randomly in nature as the orbits of the earth and moon are so that the moon is between the sun and Earth where the moon blocks the light from the sun from reaching Earth. The same goes for the opposite, the lunar eclipse.
When a full moon goes through the shadow of the Earth what occurs?
The Lunar Eclipse..
How long will it take for light to travel from the sun to the earth if it goes 186000 per second?
It takes light 8 minutes 20 second to go from the Sun to the Earth.
When the moon is growing bigger it is known as?
The moon changes it's shape as it orbits the Earth. When it goes from a crescent to full, it's called "Waxing". When it goes from Full to crescent it's called "Waning".
Light takes time to reach earth but according to Einstein it should not right?
No; according to Einstein it should take time for light to reach earth from the sun. Light is not instantaneous. The trip takes about 8 minutes. You may be confusing this with the theoretical result that if you were able to accelerate to the speed of light (you cannot) then for you, time would stop passing. You'd still be traveling at light speed, but you would have no experience of the passage of time. If you attained light speed and maintained it for 1000 years as observed from earth, you would decelerate to find that 1000 years just passed by on earth, as if in an instant, and you would find yourself very, very far from where you were only a moment before (from your point of view). This goes against what our intuition tells us about time; it is a 'relativistic' effect. And by the way, you would not have aged a moment over the thousand earth years you spent at light speed.
Why light spread in all areas?
because the earth goes round the sun evry hour.
Is everyday a full moon?
no because the travels around just like the earth goes around he sun
What is the name of the moons changing shapes?
The apparent changes in the moon's shape are called waxing and waning. The moon is waxing when it goes from a new moon (you can't see it) to a full moon and it is waning as it goes from a full moon to a new moon. What appears to us as a change in shape is caused by the position of the moon with respect to the Earth and the sun. When the Earth is completely between the moon and the sun, no light is able to hit the moon and we see a new moon. When the Earth is partially between the sun and the moon. Lastly, when the Earth is not between the sun and the moon, we see a full moon.
How do the relative motions of the earth sun and moon lead to eclipses?
The Earth goes round the Sun in an orbit, while the Moon travels round the Earth. If those orbits were in exactly the same plane we would have a solar eclipse at every new Moon and a lunar eclipse at every Full Moon.
