What else can I help you with?
How did some ancient people track the year?

What are some characteristics of a full moon?
At a full moon, 100% of the visible surface of the Moon is illuminated by the Sun. Half of the Moon is always illuminated by the Sun, and half of the Moon is visible from Earth. But they're not usually the same half. At a full moon, they are. This happens when the Sun, Earth and Moon are approximately lined up in the sky. If the alignment is exact, we'll have a lunar eclipse because the Moon will pass through the Earth's shadow, which is the only time that less than half of the Moon is lit up.
What are creasent moon first quarter and waning and waxing gibbous are some of?
These are different phases of the moon based on its appearance as observed from Earth. Crescent moon is when less than half of the moon is visible, first quarter is when half of the moon is visible, waning gibbous is when more than half but less than full moon is visible, and waxing gibbous is the phase when more than half but less than full moon is visible.
What are some moon phases?
Full, New, Quarter, Waning/ Waxing Gibbous, Waning/ Waxing Crescent, and Half.
Why do you see all of the moon at the full moon?
There isn't; it's a new (or dark) moon. You're standing on the Earth in the daytime on a sunny day. The sun goes dark for a few minutes because the moon is between you and the sun. Full moon is high in the sky at midnight.
What do you see when the moon is first quarter?
It is what ordinary people (not astronomers) usually call the "half Moon" phase. That describes it pretty well. We see exactly half of the Moon's Earth-facing side lit by the Sun. During first quarter the half that's illuminated is to the West.
What are some adjectives that describe moon?
bright, full, half, bumpy, rough, far away, beautiful, shiny, glowing, twinkly, ect.
What some people call a half moon in which one half of the illuminated side is visible is actually what kind of moon?
That happens at the times of the First Quarter and Last Quarter phases. "Half moon" is actually not a bad description for what you see at that time. It's more than a crescent, but less than gibbous.
When did you see the dark side of the moon?
you see the dark side of the moon when you see half the moon. because there is always a full moon but you only see some of it exept when there is a full moon
What happens at night time?
At night time some children's parents go to their work,the half moon will be full moon and the wolfs will howl as we don't hear them and finally the lampost that lights when its dark,it unglues
Which design style resembles a half moon?
The crescent is a design that typically will resemble a half moon. Some people actually call the moon a crescent.
What is created after the new Moon and full Moon phases?
What happens in the middle is the crescent moon. At New Moon, the moon is as close as it can be to being between the earth and the sun; when this creates a straight line, we observe a solar eclipse. There is no sunlight reflecting directly off the moon's surface to earth, but we may sometimes see some earthlight reflecting back from the moon's surface. The moon continues from east to west in its orbit around the earth, until it is as close as it can be to having the earth between it and the sun; when this creates a straight line, we observe a lunar eclipse. This is the Full Moon.
