What else can I help you with?
Is sun rise or moon rise when the sun or moon breaks the horizon or is it when the entire sun or moon is visible to the naked eye?
It is when the sun or moon breaks the horizon. And sunset and moonset happen when the last bit (trailing limb) goes below the horizon.
Why do the sun and moon rise?
The Earth's rotation causes the sun and moon to 'rise' and 'set. The rotation also causes the sun and moon to move across the sky from east to west, but really this is an illusion we see on out planet.
Does the sun and moon rise and set everyday?
Yes, the sun and moon rise and set every day due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. This daily cycle results in the apparent movement of the sun and moon across the sky, causing them to rise in the east and set in the west.
When will be the moon rise in Scarborough?
The moon will rise roughly 45 to 50 minutes after the sun, for every day that has passed since New Moon.
Why would you choose this topic does the moon rise every night at the same time and in the same location in the sky?
No. Moonrise can occur day or night. The moon is not related to the sun at all. Since our way of measuring time is relative to the sun, the moon does not rise at the same time every time.
When does the moon rise with sun?
The only time the moon rises with the sun is during a lunar eclipse. Lunar eclipses only occur during a new moon when the moon is between the earth and the sun.
Does the sun and moon rise and set becaus of the earth is spinning?
Yes... sort of. The reason for the qualification there is that it's a little more complicated than that, and it partially depends on what you mean by "not spinning". If the Earth were tidally locked with the Sun, the Sun would not appear to rise or set; it would remain in pretty much the same place in the sky. However, in that case the Earth would still be "spinning" ... it's just that its periods of rotation and revolution would be the same. If the Earth were not spinning at all, the STARS would not appear to rise and set, but the Sun would rise and set once (each) per year. The Moon is a separate issue. The fact that the Moon revolves around the Earth means that it will rise and set regardless of whether the Earth spins or not unless the Earth were tidally locked with the Moon. Again, in that case the Earth would be spinning, but each "day" would be about a month long, and the Sun would rise and set 12 or 13 times (each) per year.
How does the sun appear to rise up from the horizion?
how are the moon and the sun similar to observe on earth
Rise and fall of the tides results from?
Sun adn moon
The sun is ahead of the moon in the sky during waxing phases what time would a 10 old moon set if the sun set at 7pm?
The Moon sets about 50 minutes later each day. At the "new moon", the Moon and Sun are very close together in the sky, and rise and set together. 10 days later, the Moon rises (and sets) about 8 hours after the Sun does. So the Moon 10 days after the new would be waxing gibbous, and would set around 3 AM.
How would the earth look from the near side of the moon?
From the near side of the moon, Earth would appear about four times larger in the sky compared to how the moon looks from Earth. The Earth would shine brightly and display phases similar to the moon as it orbits the sun. The Earth would appear to rise and set on the lunar horizon in a similar way to how the moon does on Earth.
Can the moon and the sun rise at the same time?
YES!!! However, it would be a very rare total solar eclipse at dawn.
