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
What else can I help you with?
Is the sun and the moon the same size why do they appear to be the same size?
They appear to be the same size, as the sun is a very long distance away. The sun is many times larger than the moon.
Which statement best explains why the sun and the moon appear to be about the same size in the atmosphere?
The sun and the moon appear to be about the same size in the atmosphere during a solar eclipse due to a coincidence in their apparent sizes from Earth's perspective. The sun is much larger than the moon, but it is also much farther away, making them appear similar in size when viewed from Earth.
Why do the sun and moon appear to be the same in size and shape?
The sun is approximately 400 times the size of the moon, however, it is also approximately 400 times farther away. This relationship cancels out and makes the sun and the moon appear observationally to be the same size on earth.
What time of day does a new moon rise?
A new moon rises at approximately the same time as the sun rises and sets. This is because the moon is in the same part of the sky as the sun during a new moon phase.
Does the sun and moon show together in the same sky?
Yes, the sun and moon can appear in the sky together, but they may not be visible at the exact same time due to the sun's brightness overwhelming the moon's visibility during the daytime. This phenomenon is known as a partial solar eclipse or when the moon is close to the horizon during sunrise or sunset.
How can eclipses occur?
When the moon and sun appear in the same spot in the sky at the same time
Why sun and moon don't appear at the same time?
They do. The moon just isn't lit up in the day time but it is still visible.
Is the sun and the moon the same size why do they appear to be the same size?
They appear to be the same size, as the sun is a very long distance away. The sun is many times larger than the moon.
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 do the sun and moon appear to be the same size in the sky?
The sun and moon appear to be the same size in the sky because of an optical illusion called the Moon Illusion. This occurs when the brain perceives the moon as larger when it is closer to the horizon compared to when it is higher in the sky.
Which statement best explains why the sun and the moon appear to be about the same size in the atmosphere?
The sun and the moon appear to be about the same size in the atmosphere during a solar eclipse due to a coincidence in their apparent sizes from Earth's perspective. The sun is much larger than the moon, but it is also much farther away, making them appear similar in size when viewed from Earth.
How many time is the sun larger than the moon?
In terms of diameter, the Sun is 400 times the Moon's diameter. It is also 400 times as far away and this means that the disk of the moon and the sun appear the same size when viewed from earth.
Why do the sun and moon appear to be the same in size and shape?
The sun is approximately 400 times the size of the moon, however, it is also approximately 400 times farther away. This relationship cancels out and makes the sun and the moon appear observationally to be the same size on earth.
If you have sun and moon at the same time does Australia have a moon at this time?
yes you can see the moon in Australia when the sun and moon can be seen in America !!!! its crazzy !
Why does the sun and the moon apper to be the same size?
Even tho the Moon is much smaller than the Sun, they appear to be the same size in the say, because the Moon is so much closer to the earth.
Why does the moon appear to be the same size as the earth?
You would need to be in a very special spot ... or so far away that both of them appeared to simply be points of light ... in order for the Moon to appear to be the same size as the Earth.Perhaps you meant "why does the Moon appear to be the same size as the Sun" (when seen from Earth), and the answer is ... there isn't any deep reason why this should be the case, it just happens to be true. Strictly speaking it's only true now: in the distant past the Moon appeared larger than the Sun, and in the distant future the Moon will appear smaller than the Sun. By happenstance we (and by "we" I really mean "human civilization", because this is not changing very fast at all) happen to be living in the time when the Moon and the Sun appear to be roughly the same size.
What time of day does a new moon rise?
A new moon rises at approximately the same time as the sun rises and sets. This is because the moon is in the same part of the sky as the sun during a new moon phase.
