Scientists can observe all of the moon, if they send an artificial satellite round the far side. For the rest of us, we can only see one side as the rotation period of the moon is the same as the time taken to circle the Earth; so it always shows the same side to us.
There is a slight wobble though and we can see slightly more than half of the moons' surface.
What else can I help you with?
Is a different part of the moons surface visible at each full moon?
We only see one part of the surface, at any time the moons faces occur.
What has one moon?
earth is the the only plznet that has one moon
Do scientists think that there was once life on Saturn?
Scientists think there was once "life on Saturn" only in highly imaginative science fiction stories. There is no solid surface beneath its clouds, only a hydrogen atmosphere that gets incredibly dense and hot deep inside. However, the moons (such as Titan) could have liquid water below their crusts. Even if this is so, there is very little sunlight that far from the Sun, the moons are frigidly cold, and the chance of plant life as we know it is extremely low.
Is makemake the only dwarf planet with no moons?
No -- scientists have recently discovered a moon orbiting Makemake, for the moment known as MK-2. It is about 100 miles across. Ceres on the other hand has no moons.
When you are you closer to the Moon's surface or the earths core?
None, only the earths core is more closer, the moons surface is 37.000 Vertices from earth
When only a sliver part of the moons surface is lit what is it called?
Cresent.
What year did moss appear on earth?
Our best scientists only know it to be prehistoric. I DO know that some of it is SO delicate, we should only observe it from a distance.
Planet with 2 moons?
Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos. These moons are irregular in shape and are thought to be captured asteroids. They orbit close to the planet's surface compared to other moons in the solar system.
Are there countless Earth-like planets and moons in the universe?
no because scientists think that earth is the only planet in the universe that supports life :3
Are mars moons Phobos Deimos Olympus?
Mars only has two moons; 'Phobos' & 'Deimos' ('Fear' & 'Panic' translated...) Olympus Mons is the name of a huge volcano on the surface of Mars
Why was Galileo able to see only Jupiter's largest moons?
Galileo was able to see only Jupiter's largest moons, Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, because these moons are the largest and brightest of Jupiter's many satellites. Their size and brightness made them visible using the relatively primitive telescope technology available to Galileo in the 17th century. Smaller moons may have been too faint to be seen with his telescopes.
Does the moon have liqud on the surface?
No. There is nothing liquid on the surface of the moon. The only objects in the solar system that have lasting liquid bodies on their surfaces are Earth and Titan, one of the moons of Saturn.
