What elements does the earth and moon have that are the same?
rocks
What is the temperature on the Dark side of the moon?
The temperature on the moon is the same on all sides. Around 100C in the middle of the day and -173C middle of the night. Although the moon is about the same distance from the Sun as Earth the reason for the moons extremes is it does not have the atmosphere Earth does. I have the feeling that you are labouring under the delusion that the dark side of the moon sees no sun. Not true, the moon only shows one side to Earth because it does not rotate on its axis, but everyone else in our solar system gets a look at all sides, including the sun.
How does the moon move in relaton with earth?
The moon circles the Earth approximately every month. It takes 27.3 days for the moon to make one orbit around our planet. Even though it looks like the moon is moving from East to West, it actually isn't. It's moving from West, to East. If you go outside and find the moon, look at the stars behind it. Go outside the same time the next night and the moon will be noticeably East from where it was the night before. :) That's also why the moon rises almost an hour later each night.
How much time does the moon takes to revolve around the earth?
The moon's synodic period, the time it takes to come back to the same phase relative to the Earth and Sun, varies but, on average, is 29.53 days.
Doe earth look the same as it did millions of years ago?
No.
Why Does The Moon Approximately Look Like The Same Size as the earth from the earth?
The Moon appears a lot smaller (which it is) when viewed from the Earth.
When viewed from the moon the earth looks like it is about the same size as the moon when viewed from the earth Since it is at least four times bigger why doesn't the earth look four times bigger?
atmospheric illusion
Why is the sun and the moon are about the same size when viewed from the earth?
the moon is smaller but its closer. the sun is huge but its way farther away so that why they look the same size.
Phase changes of the Earth that one would see if viewed from the Moon?
Exactly the same as the ones we see the Moon go through from Earth, except that Earth does not always turn the same face to the Moon.
Why is the same side of the moon viewed from earth as the moon goes through is phases?
because the Moon always has 1/2 sunlit.
Why is the same side of the moon viewed from the earth as the moon goes through its phases?
because the Moon always has 1/2 sunlit.
Does the moon rotate right or left?
The moon rotates in the same direction as the earth, counterclockwise (anticlockwise) when viewed from above the north pole. One rotation of the moon takes the same time as one revolution around the earth, so the same side of the moon is always facing the earth.
If you look at earth every twenty-four hours from the moon for two weeks how far would the earth move?
As viewed from the Moon, the Earth doesn't move much; it "wobbles" a little in the sky. The Moon is tidally locked to the Earth, with the same side of the Moon pointing at the Earth. The "wobble" is due to the Moon's elliptical orbit around the Earth; the Moon is moving faster in its orbit at perigee than at apogee, and the appearance is that the Earth moves a little back and forth in the lunar skies.
Does the gibbous moon look the same from all positions on Earth?
Yes. Everyone on earth for whom the moon is visible sees the same phase at the same time.
Why do the sun and moon appear to be the same size when viewed from earth?
no actually the moon is larger than the sun when being viewed especially when the moon is at its full or full moon because it is much nearer to us than the sun.
Why does the sun and the moon look the same size on earth?
Though the sun is bigger the moon is closer to earth creating the illusion that they are the same size. Hope this helped.
