What else can I help you with?
Why do you have full moons?
The sun is always shining at the moon. However, sometimes we can only see part of the moon that the sun is shining on. When the sun is behind us and the moon in front of us, we can see all of the part of the moon that the sun is shining on. If the sun is behind us and the moon is to the left or right of us, we can see part of the moon that the sun is shining on and part that it isn't shining on. However, because that part of the moon is so dark, we cant really see it all, so we see a half moon. As the moon orbits the Earth wee see more or less part of it lit up. The moon then seems to disappear altogether, which is because we can't see any part of the moon being lit up. The moon is getting fuller at present, so each night we see a bit more of it lit up. After it is full we will begin to see less of it being lit up.
Could you see the earths light if you were on the moon?
In the same way we see brightness from the Moon as a result of the Sun shining on it, you would see brightness on the Earth from the Moon when the Sun is shining on it. You would not be able to see normal lights, like street lights, from the Moon.
How does the moon shines?
The moon does not shine of itself. What we see is when the sun is shining on the moon and it is illuminated. So the moon is reflecting light towards us. If you were on the moon, and the sun was shining on the part of earth that was facing you, the earth would appear to be shining. The other planets that we see that appear to shine, are also just being lit up by the sun.
Why can we see the moon so well?
Because of the sun's light shining on it
Does the moon have light in it?
The moon does not produce its own light. It reflects light from the sun, which is why we can see it shining in the night sky.
How does the moon get light?
The moon does not produce its own light. It reflects light from the sun, which is why we see it shining in the night sky.
Why does the moonlook as if it is shining?
It reflects the sun. Depending how far the sun is also determines the look of a half moon, or the full moon, so forth. New moon is where we don't see it and why we can't see it is because it's in front of the sun. Therfore the sun is too bright that we can't see the moon.
How does the moon make light?
The moon does not make its own light. It reflects light from the sun, which is why we see it shining in the night sky.
How can you see the moon even though it does not light up?
Well, the sun's light shines on the moon making the moon more visible. It creates barely any light, though. The phases of the moon are the parts of the moon that we can see the sun shining on.
Why can't we rarely see the moon during the day?
you can't see the moon rarely in the day because the sun is already shining on earth. the moon is just a rock thats reflects light from the sun at night
What is the effect of the sun's light shining on the moon?
The effect is that we see the phases of the moon here on Earth. The reason for different phases is the angle and position of the sun and moon.
Why can you see the moon from earth?
Because the light from the sun is reflected off of earth, shining on to the moon so it is then visible to us earthlings.
