Why does the moon always look roughly the same size?

Does the moon look the same?

no it always changes

Why you always look at the same side of moon?

the reason you only see one side of the moon is because the rotation of the moon and the revolution speed of the moon are the same

Why do the moon's surface features always look the same?

lol because

Does the mooon look the same every week?

The moon is always a sphere but the moon does not look the same every week when observed from Earth. This is because we see sunlight hitting the moon at different angles as it orbits our planet.

Why is a day on the moon equal to a month on earth?

It really does not, but it is close to a month. The moon always faces the same way to the earth as it goes around the earth. So the Moon day is the same as its orbit around the Earth, Roughly 29 days.

What planet is the same size as the earths moon?

Mercury is roughly the same size, but it is bigger than our Moon.

On the surface of moon in what way you have to see in order to see the earth?

The moon always keeps the same 'side' ... roughly 50% of its surface ... facing the earth.If you're standing anywhere on that side of the moon, the earth is always in your sky.If you're standing anywhere on the other side of the moon, the earth is never in your sky.

Why is 1 side of the moon always illuminated?

Roughly one half of the moon's surface is usually illuminated for the same reasons roughly one half of Earth's surface is usually illuminated. One half of the moon's surface is always visible from Earth, and it's always the same half, due to tidal lock. The moon is usually roughly half illuminated. This is due to basic geometry: light travels in a straight line (approximately), and the sun is rather far from the moon. This will necessarily mean that roughly half of the moon will be illuminated for as long as the sun shines and nothing shades the moon. You can verify this at home with a lamp and a ball. If the lamp is sufficiently far from the ball, you will see that it illuminates roughly half of the ball. Now, there's also the chance that you meant something else entirely by your question. Perhaps you're referring to the "dark side of the moon". There exists the erroneous sentiment that one half of the moon's surface is perpetually illuminated, and the other half of the moon's surface is perpetually dark. That would require the moon to be in tidal lock with the sun, which it is not. The source of this incorrect belief is likely that the moon is in tidal lock with Earth, meaning that from Earth we always see the same portion of the moon's surface. That is, the moon's period of rotation is equal to it's period of revolution. The portion of the surface that faces us is not always illuminated, as can be seen from observing the different phases of the moon. The opposite portion of the surface will similarly go through phases, but this can not be observed from Earth.

Why does the moon always look the same?

The moon always looks the same because it is tidally locked to the Earth, meaning it rotates on its axis at the same rate that it orbits the Earth. As a result, the same side of the moon, known as the near side, is always facing us, while the opposite side, the far side, remains hidden from view. This synchrony occurs due to gravitational forces between the Earth and the moon.

What time does a new moon set?

The New Moon rises and sets at roughly the same time as the sun.

How much time is one complete rotation of the moon?

One complete rotation of the Moon on its axis takes about 27.3 days, which is the same amount of time it takes to complete one orbit around the Earth. This is why we always see the same face of the Moon from Earth.

Why do the moon surface feature always look the same?

Because the moon's periods of rotation on its axis and of revolution around the Earth are equal ... 27.32 days. -- To an observer on Earth, the moon always presents the same face. -- To an observer on the moon, the Earth is always at nearly the same place in the sky. . . . . . . If the observer is on the side of the moon that faces Earth, it's ALWAYS in his sky, and he can watch the Earth rotate completely, roughly every 24 hours 50 minutes. . . . . . . If the observer is on the side that doesn't face Earth, then it's NEVER in his sky.
