Why dont you see auroras on the moon?
The moon has an extremely weak electromagnetic field, so solar wind does not get caught in it like it does in Earth's. Even if the moon did have a substantial electromagnetic field, it has no atmosphere for the solar wind to react with to produce auroras.
What would you have to do if you wanted to see the Moon's waning crescent phases?
You would have to wait until after the moon is full. Then, the moon is in its waning phase and you can see it!
What phases of the moon would someone on earth see when the moon is at positions A through F?
On Earth, someone would most likely see less then half of a moon.
How would the Moon appear to an observer in space during its revolution Would phases be observable Explain?
During the Moon's revolution, an observer in space would see the moon, but would not be able to see it spin around. From far to the north, about the solar system, the moon would appear to make a squiggly
What would you expect to see if you looked at a thick opaque object through a compound microscope?
You would expect to see a silhouette of the figure because it is too thick. -Franceska Biology Major

Why don't we see auroras on the moon?
The auroras we see on Earth are a result of Earth's magnetic field funneling high-energy particles from the sun into Earth's upper atmosphere, where excited electrons in gas molecules create a glow. The moon has no magnetic field and no atmosphere.
If you see quarter moon where the right side is lit would you expect that the moon will soon be full or new?

When can you see auroras?
In the north and south poles.
Is it possible to forecast an aurora borealis?
We can't forecast auroras with any precision, but if you visit SpaceWeather.com, you'll see when the conditions are especially good for one. For example, if a coronal mass ejection (CME) from the Sun strikes the Earth, auroras are quite likely, even if we cannot predict exactly WHERE they will be visible.However, auroras also sometimes appear even when we don't expect them, when no solar storm is in progress.
How often has the Aurora Borealis been sighted in Graves County KY?
It would be quite unusual to see auroras as far south as Kentucky, but it has happened; at the peak of the last sunspot cycle, there were auroras in Florida!
Why can t you see the borealis and australis here in the Philippines?
Auroras are usually confined to arctic (and antarctic) regions near the magnetic poles. The Philippines is a tropical nation. It would be extremely unusual for auroras to be visible in the Philippines.
What would you see on earth if you were positioned behind the Moon's umbra?
you would see who and what is built on the moon.
When was Aurora borealis seen in UK?
In Scotland, yesterday and the day before. On August 1, 2010, the Sun belched out a fairly substantial "coronal mass ejection" or CME. When a CME hits the Earth and interacts with the Earth's magnetic field (generally about 3 days after the eruption), we frequently see auroras at one or both polar regions. A strong CME, like this one, can generate auroras down to the mid-latitudes. In this case, auroras were seen as far south as Iowa. As the Sun comes out of its long "solar minimum", we can expect to see auroras more often at high latitudes.
What type of eclipse would be seen on the moon if earth experienced a total lunar eclipse?
In this case, from the Moon you would see a total solar eclipse.In this case, from the Moon you would see a total solar eclipse.In this case, from the Moon you would see a total solar eclipse.In this case, from the Moon you would see a total solar eclipse.
'When a full moon occurs if there were people on the moon would they see a 'full' Earth'?
Not necessarily. Think about it... if you can see a full moon in the middle of the night, then someone on the moon would be able to see your part of the earth.... which would be in darkness.
When can you see the aurora borealis in Pennsylvania?
It's somewhat rare to see that far south, but not impossible. As the sunspot cycle starts to ramp up towards the max in 2012 you can expect a better than normal chance of seeing auroras just about anywhere in PA. Even still, the auroras likely to be seen in PA aren't going to be the impressive displays you can see further north in Canada and Alaska. Probably what you'll see in most cases is a bit of hazy color along the northern horizon, best veiwed in winter, when it won't be mistaken for summer haze. Goto www.spaceweather.com to see when auroras are likely happening in Pennsylvania or anywhere in the world!
