What else can I help you with?
What happend to the other side of the moon in half moon day?
Nothing happens to the other side of the Moon in half moon days. The reason we do not see the whole Moon is because only half of it is reflecting the light from the Sun.
What blocks the moon when it is half a moon?
The object that blocks the moon when there is a half moon is the moon itself. The moon is a sphere, so only one half of it can be sunlit at any moment. The other half is dark just because the sun is below the horizon for that half of the moon. And when we see a half moon, we are simply looking at the moon just as the line of sunrise/sunset cuts across the moon's diameter.
How much of the sun is facing the sun from the sun?
Half. The Moon is roughly spherical; half of the Moon is in the light, and the other half is dark.
What did the half moon look like?
The half moon appears as a semi-circle or crescent shape in the sky. It is when only half of the moon's surface is illuminated by the sun, with the other half shadowed or in darkness.
How much of the moon are you seeing when it appears half lit?
When the moon appears half lit, you are seeing exactly half of its surface. Half of the moon is illuminated by the sun, while the other half is in shadow. This phase is known as the first quarter when the moon is waxing, and the third quarter when the moon is waning.
When the moon looks like a half moon it is in its?
When the moon looks like a half moon, it is in its first or third quarter phase. This happens when the moon is at a 90-degree angle to the sun as seen from Earth, with half of the side facing the sun illuminated and the other half in shadow.
Have you ever seen both sides of the moon?
No. The other half of the moon is called 'the invisable'
Does the moon have new moon if the other half is facing the sun?
Yes, in that case we would see it as a new moon.
What cast the shadow on the moon during the day time?
The moon does.The sun only lights up half the moon (the side of the moon the sun is on). The other half of the moon is dark, because the sun's light is blocked by the moon itself.
What does a half moon look like?
A half moon appears as a semi-circle shape in the sky, with one side visible illuminated by the sunlight while the other side remains dark. It is the phase of the moon when it is halfway between a new moon and a full moon.
What happens to the moon when its a half-moon?
The moon is only visible because of the sun's light, which is why the moon appears to glow. When there is a half moon, only half of the moon is reflecting off the sun's light. It all has to do with the angle of the moon, the sun, and the Earth, which is why the moon has so many different phases.
What fraction of the moon can be seen from the moon when the moon is at its third quarter phase?
Half of it, the same as always. Half of the visible side of the Moon will be brightly lit by the Sun, and the other half is often dimly visible by reflected earthshine, sunlight that is reflected from the Earth and then shines down on the night side of the Moon.
