Looking directly at the sun can harm your eyes. The moon is not bright enough to do so. It has no light of its own, it can only be seen because of the sun shining on it making it bright enough to see.
solar eclipse-moon blocks out sun-do not look at when occuring lunar eclipse-sun blocks out moon-feel free to look at when ocuring
The sun emits its own light. The moon only reflects light from the sun.
The sun.
Since the sun illuminates the moon, no moon phases can be seen from the sun, all moons and planets always are 'full'.
The Moon is between the Sun and the Earth.It would look like this:Sun --> Moon --> Earth
It is not because it is only an optical illusion that makes the moon look bigger than the sun
A lunar eclipse happens when the earth is between the moon and the sun. The sun's shadow makes the moon look red.
the moon and the sun and the earth all make the moon look different because of shadows
If the moon is between the sun and earth, then the moon looks completely black(new moon). If we are between the suna nd the moon, we see the whole moon(full moon).
The sun is millions of times bigger than the moon, but the moon is many times closer to Earth.
This is a solar eclipse. From Earth it would look as if the Sun is being blocked out by the Moon.
objects look bigger the closer to you they are. the moon is small, but close to earth. the sun is much larger, but much farther away.
