How many days are required for the moon to go from one full moon phase to the next full moon phase when viewed from earth?
The complete cycle of the moon's 'phases' ... the time to go from any shapeto the next appearance of the same shape ... averages 29.531 days.
Assume that a new orbit begins at full moon What fraction or the way around its orbit is the moon during the full moon phase?
We're going to assume that the question is referring to the next Full Moon.The moon makes one complete orbit each 27.32 days, but the phases repeat witha period of 29.53 days. So the elapsed time from any phase to the next appearanceof the same phase is (29.53/27.32) = 1.081 orbits.
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.
Phases around the earth?
If you're talking about the 'phases' of the moon, then: Everybody on the earth sees the same phase of the moon on the same date. Technically, the phase of the moon is always changing ... five minutes from now, the illuminated section will be slightly bigger or slightly smaller than it is right now. But in a practical sense, we usually don't notice any difference until we see the moon again several hours later. So it's essentially accurate to say that anybody on earth who looks at the moon within the next few hours ... whenever it appears in the sky wherever they are ... will see the same phase as you see right now.
If you see a waning crescent phase what will you see in about 28 days?
In about 28 days, you would see a new moon phase after observing a waning crescent phase. The new moon occurs when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, with the side of the moon lit that faces away from Earth.
Starting with a full moon what are the phases of the moon during a month?
The time from one phase of the moon until the next time the moon reaches the same phase is 29.5 days.
How many days are required for the moon to go from one full moon phase to the next full moon phase when viewed from earth?
The complete cycle of the moon's 'phases' ... the time to go from any shapeto the next appearance of the same shape ... averages 29.531 days.
Which of the following is the phase that results when the Moon is on the same side of the Earth as the Sun?
The phase that results when the Moon is on the same side of the Earth as the Sun is called the New Moon phase. During this phase, the side of the Moon that is illuminated by the Sun is facing away from Earth, making it appear dark in the sky.
When the moon and the sun are on the same side of earth what phase is this?
it is a new moon
If the moon is in the new phase tonight what phase will it be one week from now?
One week from now, the moon will likely be in the first quarter phase, where half of the moon is illuminated. The new moon phase is followed by the waxing crescent phase and then the first quarter phase in the lunar cycle.
Assume that a new orbit begins at full moon What fraction or the way around its orbit is the moon during the full moon phase?
We're going to assume that the question is referring to the next Full Moon.The moon makes one complete orbit each 27.32 days, but the phases repeat witha period of 29.53 days. So the elapsed time from any phase to the next appearanceof the same phase is (29.53/27.32) = 1.081 orbits.
What moon is it in Australia when its a full moon in Texas?
The moon is the same phase no matter where on Earth you are looking from.
Is there a full moon every 28 days?
No. There is a full moon every 29.53 days. This is the synodic period of the moon, based on the length of time it takes to go from on phase to the next repetition of the same phase.
Why does the Moon's face sometimes change even though it is the same side?
We are only seeing a portion of the illuminated area when the phase is not a Full Moon phase.
What is the phase that results when the Moon is on the same side of the Earth as the Sun?
The phase is called a New Moon, where the side of the Moon that is illuminated by the Sun is facing away from Earth, making it appear dark from our perspective.
What phase do the moon and sun have the same orbit position?
The moon and sun have the same orbital position during the new moon phase. At this time, the moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun, making it difficult to see the moon from Earth. This alignment means that both celestial bodies share the same ecliptic longitude, resulting in the moon being in conjunction with the sun.
Do you always see the same side of the moon regardless of the phase?
yeah
