No. The Moon's phases do not 'go away', they simply become less visible when sunlight outshines the Moon's reflection.

How many moons does earth have now in 2010?

Maybe 4 moons. 1 of them is 5 km away from earth. The normal moons of earth is soon going to be gone away from earth. It goes 3.8 cm away from earth each year. Soon our nearest moon is going to be gone from us in a lot if years.


Is the earth facing toward or away from the sun?

The Earth's position in orbit determines whether it is facing toward or away from the Sun. During daytime in a particular region, that part of the Earth is facing the Sun, while during nighttime, it is facing away.


When the Earth moves through outer space how do these movements create daytime nightime and the four seasons?

When the earth is farthest away from the sun we have winter.


Do you see moons or rings?

You see the moon. Rings are too far away from Earth to see.


How many earth-like moons are there since there are approximately 18 sextillion earth-like planets in the universe?

It's actually very difficult to tell this, most moons on far away planets can not yet be seen and just because the planet is earth like doesn't mean it has a moon, or many moons


How many miles is the earth to titan?

Titan, one of Saturn's moons, is approximately 746 million miles away from Earth.


Why do you have daytime and nighttime?

We have daytime and nightime because of the earth rotating on its axis.As the earth rotates one side face the sun and then the other direction is not.


How do the tilt of the earth the orbit of the earth around the sun and the earth's rotation cause temperature differences between daytime and night time?

Because in the daytime the earth is tilted to where it gets more direct sunlight, while in the night time the earth is tilted to where sunlight is not direct and it's turned away from the sun so the temperture lowers.


Why is daytime light and night dark?

Daytime is light because the sun emits light that reaches our atmosphere and illuminates the Earth's surface. Night is dark because the Earth rotates and moves away from the direct sunlight, causing the absence of light reaching the surface.


What do you notice about earth axis during the winter solstice?

What moons are close to Venus?

There are no moons around Venus or Mercury. So the closest moon to Venus is the Moon orbiting the Earth, which is not really any closer than Earth is. (Venus is always at least 100 times farther away from Earth than the distance of the Moon.)


Galileo's observation of the phases of Venus supported Ptolemy's epicycles?

Galileo's telescopic observations of the 4 large moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus helped support the heliocentric model of the solar system developed by Copernicus. Copernicus predicted that all phases would be visible since the orbit of Venus around the Sun would cause its illuminated hemisphere to face the Earth when it was on the opposite side of the Sun and to face away from the Earth when it was on the Earth-side of the Sun. In contrast, the geocentric model of Ptolemy predicted that only crescent and new phases would be seen since Venus was thought to remain between the Sun and Earth during its orbit around the Earth. Galileo's observations of the phases of Venus proved that it orbited the Sun and lent support to (but did not prove) the heliocentric model.
