Why does the moon appear to change over time in the sky?
the moon never changes, the Earth seems to change it because of rotation
Why does the illuminated part of the Moon appear to change shape to us on Earth?
The shape of the moon changes to us on Earth because of the position that the Sun, Moon, and Earth are in at the time. If the Sun, Moon, and Earth are at a 180o angle withe the moon and sun on the out side then we will have a new moon because the earth will be blocking all the light away from the moon.
How does the moon and sun appear at the same time?
the moon is not a fixed point in the sky it orbits around the earth like the earth orbits around the sun the moon is not in geometric orbit meaning that it rotates around the the earth it takes about 28 days for the moon to orbit the earth so the moon will be up during the day time about 14 days out of every 28 days
Why does the moon appear differently from earth on different nights?
The changing appearance of the moon from Earth is due to its position in relation to the sun and the angle at which it is illuminated. As the moon orbits the Earth, different portions of it are lit by the sun, causing it to appear differently shaped from our perspective. This cycle of changing appearances is known as lunar phases.
How do the full moon and No moon nights take place?
Picture the moon moving around the earth in its orbit once a month. ================================================ At one time of the month, the sun, moon, and earth are lined up like this: Sun Earth Moon The people on the back side of the earth are looking straight at the fully-lit side of the moon, so they see a Full Moon. ============================================ At another time of the month, the sun, moon, and earth are lined up like this: Sun Moon Earth Anybody on the front half of the earth can look toward where the moon is, but even if they do, they don't see anything, because they're looking at the side of the moon where the sun isn't shining and it's dark. This is the time of New Moon.
In geologic time how did the moon appear?
Bigger with more mass, and had more light, so brighter too.
Why is the geologic time scale used to show the Earth's history?
because the time span of earth past is so great geologic
For what fraction of geologic time life has existed on earth for what fraction of geologic time have human existed on the earth?
Approx 1/22500 of it.
The moon is not visible to observers on Earth?
When the moon is not visible to observers on Earth, it is likely in its new moon phase. During this time, the side of the moon facing Earth is not illuminated by the sun, making it appear dark and invisible from our perspective.
Why does the moon appear to change over time in the sky?
the moon never changes, the Earth seems to change it because of rotation
Why it takes longer time for a new moon to appear than it takes the moon to go around the earth?
this is because going around the earth is a constant process... and new moon this is because when the

What do you called the scale of time that records the events about the history of the earth?
Geologic Time. It's called the Geologic Time Scale.
What face of the moon shows when the moon and sun appear at the same time?
When the moon and sun appear at the same time in the sky, typically during the day, the side of the moon that is illuminated and visible from Earth is the side that faces away from the sun. This phase is known as the new moon phase, where the moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun, making it difficult to see against the brightness of the sun. Thus, the illuminated face of the moon is not visible from Earth, and it appears dark.
Why does the moon appear to be different size?
The Moon's orbit is elliptical; it can be as near to Earth as 240,000 miles and as far as 280,000 miles. Near the horizon, there are atmospheric illusions that make the Moon appear to be larger than it is. The more "full" the Moon is, the bigger it appears to be. When these factors are combined, at the time of the perigee full moon, the Moon can be objectively about 15% larger than normal, and the illusion at Moonrise can make the Moon appear to be enormous. The moon looks different sizes at different times due to the distance apart it is from earth. The further away the moon is from earth the smaller it will look. The closer to earth it is the bigger it will look.
Approximately how many years does the Earth's geologic time scale span?
The Earth's geologic time scale spans about 4.6 billion years, from the formation of the Earth to the present day.
How does the moon and sun appear at the same time?
the moon is not a fixed point in the sky it orbits around the earth like the earth orbits around the sun the moon is not in geometric orbit meaning that it rotates around the the earth it takes about 28 days for the moon to orbit the earth so the moon will be up during the day time about 14 days out of every 28 days
