Why does the Moon's temperature change so much?
no water to buffer it
Why does the moon appear to follow you while in a vehicle?
The Moon is so far away that if you move a few meters, or even kilometers, the direction of the Moon won't change appreciably.The Moon is so far away that if you move a few meters, or even kilometers, the direction of the Moon won't change appreciably.The Moon is so far away that if you move a few meters, or even kilometers, the direction of the Moon won't change appreciably.The Moon is so far away that if you move a few meters, or even kilometers, the direction of the Moon won't change appreciably.
Why does our mass change if we go to the moon?
Mass is the measure of how much material is present. So if you travel somewhere, your mass does not change (except if you get fat or go on a diet)
Why are solar eclipses visible from a much smaller part of Earth than lunar eclipse?
Because the Earth is much larger relative to the Moon than the Moon is relative to the Sun. In a total solar eclipse the Moon will only just cover the Sun so a slight change in position means that you will only see a partial eclipse whereas the Earth will cause a much larger shadow relative to the Moon so a difference in location will not affect it so much.
Why does the shape of the moon seem to change?
The moon reflects sunlight and it orbits out planet, Earth, so we see the reflected sunlight at different angles on the moon, causing the appearance of the moon to change.
How does the weight of an apple change when you move it from the earth to the moon?
Anything, including an apple, weighs heavier on earth due to earth's gravity. The gravity on the moon is much less, so objects are lighter.
How much does a 70 kg man weigh on the moon?
From Wikipedia, the gravitational acceleration on the Moon (on its equator) is 1.622 m/s2. This is the same as 1.622 N/kg, so you can multiply the mass by this number to get the weight in Newton. (The man's mass, of course, will still be 70 kg on the Moon. His weight will change, but his mass will not change.)
Why does the visible surface of the moon always look the same?
The Moon's face does change - but not much. The Moon's rotation is generally aligned with its orbit, so that the same face is always turned to the Earth. But the Moon's ORBIT is somewhat eliptical, so the speed of the Moon in its orbit varies a little. So instead of seeing just 50% of the surface of the Moon, we can actually see about 60%, and the "face" in the Moon turns just a little side to side as the Moon follows its decidedly NON-circular path.
Can the moon change shape?
The moon does not actually change shape, but its appearance from Earth does. This is due to its orbit around the Earth, which causes different portions of the moon to be illuminated by the sun at different times.
Does the phases of the moon change in winter?
The phases of the moon do not change based on the season. However, the position of the moon in the sky may vary depending on the time of year, so you may see the moon in different phases at different times during the winter compared to other seasons.
Explain how your weight on earth would change if you were on the moon?
Your weight on the moon would be about 16.5% of your weight on Earth. This is because the moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity. So, if you weighed 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh about 16.5 pounds on the moon.
What causes the moon to change it's shape?
The moon does not change shapes. The shadow of the earth on the moon changes how much of it you can see.Another viewpoint: I think this question is about the "phases" of the Moon.The Moon only appears to change shape during its different phases.Exactly one half of the Moon is in sunlight at any time. The phases occur because the Moon orbits Earth. That causes us to see different amounts of the sunlit Moon, and so its shape seems to change.
