The phases of the moon are caused by the relative positions of the sun, the moon and the observer.
It is possible to see phases of the moon in space depending on your position relative to the sun and the moon.
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
Yes, you would still see the moon phases because they are caused by the changing angles of sunlight hitting the surface of the moon as it orbits Earth. The size of the moon does not affect the appearance of these phases.
It takes a full month to see all phases of the moon, then it begins again.
People see different phases of the moon due to its position relative to the Earth and Sun. As the moon orbits the Earth, the amount of sunlight reflecting off its surface changes, creating the different phases we see from Earth. This phenomenon is known as lunar phases.
As the moon travels around the Earth, different parts of it are lighted by the sun. We see various parts of the face that are being lit by the sun. Since the sun and shadow move around the moon, we see different parts of the moon face, or phases of the moon.
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
Yes. Unless the observer was on the back side of the moon, or on the opposite side of the earth from the moon, he/she could see the same phases that we see here on earth.
Yes, you would still see the moon phases because they are caused by the changing angles of sunlight hitting the surface of the moon as it orbits Earth. The size of the moon does not affect the appearance of these phases.
Anywhere that it is night. inless if it is a new moon then you can not see the moon.
The phases are caused by the angle that the sunlight strikes the moon.
No, we see the same side of the moon as it orbits and goes through phases because the moon rotates at the same rate it orbits.
See the link below to "Phases of the Moon" from the U.S. Naval Observatory.
No, if the moon did not rotate as it orbits the Earth, we would always see the same face of the moon and there would be no changing lunar phases. This is because the changing phases of the moon are caused by the angle between the sun, Earth, and moon as the moon orbits Earth.
there are phases of the moon because when it orbits us sometimes you can't see it and other times you can see half it all depends.
