How much of the moon gets light from the sun at all times?
It depends how much part of earth is in between sun and moon blocking sun's light as the moon is a sphere and earth's shadow causes it to look like being changing its shape.
How much time is required for reflected sunlight to travel from the Moon to Earth if the distance between Earth and the Moon is 3.85 x 105 km?
Reflected sunlight from the Moon takes about 1.28 seconds to travel to Earth. This is because light travels at a speed of about 299,792 km/s in a vacuum, so the time it takes for light to travel a distance is given by distance divided by speed.
Why is the moon illuminated?
The moon is illuminated because it reflects light from the Sun. This phenomenon is visible to us on Earth depending on the position of the moon in relation to the Sun and the Earth. Different phases of the moon result from how much of the illuminated side we can see from Earth.
How many miles away is the moon from Earth?
Much less than a light-year. A light-year is the distance light travels in a year; from the Moon, the light takes only a bit more than a second. The Moon is at an average distance of about 380,000 km. A light-year is about 9,500,000,000,000 km. If you divide the first number by the second, you'll get the number of light-years as a decimal.
Are stars close to the moon?
No. The stars are much farther away than the moon is. For reference, it takes a little more than a second for light to reach us from the moon. The light from the nearest star (other than the sun) takes more than 4 years to reach us.
How much Time light takes to travel from sun to moon?
I believe it takes light from the sun about seven minutes to reach earth and moon. And light travels at 186,000 miles pre second !
How much time the moon ray takes to come in the Earth?
The average time that it takes for light to travel from the moon's surface to the earth's surface or vice versa is about 1.255 seconds.
Why does the Moon's appearance keep changing?
because the light on the moon is reflected by the earth so when the earth is not facing on the moon there is not that much light
How far in light years is the moon from the earth?
The average distance to the Moon is 384,399 kilometres = 4.06318742 × 10-8 light years (Note the minus) The moon is only a tiny fraction of one light year from earth. It takes light from the sun eight minutes to reach earth, and the moon is much closer to earth than the sun. Measuring such a small distance in light years is possible but impractical. ======================================= The moon is roughly 1.27 light seconds from the earth. (rounded) 1.27 light seconds is the same as 0.0000000406 light year. (rounded)
Does the moon spin on its axis faster than the earth?
No. It's much slower. The Earth takes a day to spin round. The Moon takes a month.
What if the moon is bigger than the earth?
there will much light
How do the stars and moon collide?
They don't. The stars are nuch more distant than the moon. Consider this for how much further away the stars are: Light, which travels at a constant speed, takes a little more than a second to travel from the moon to Earth. Light from Proxima Centauri, the nearest star other than the sun, takes more than 4 years to reach Earth.
Which takes longer earth revolving around your sun or the moon revolving around earth How much time does each situation tak?
The Moon takes longer. The Earth spins once in 23 hours 56 minutes, while the Moon spins once in about 27 days.
How much is 0.0000000406?
the distance between Earth and the Moon in light years.
Why does it take longer for light to reach earth then the time it takes light reflections off the moon to get to earth?
It doesn't. If the light reflecting off of the moon is what's reaching you first...then it's night time. The above answers is incorrect as u can see the moon during the day as well..... This is a little more complicated than you think. Firstly it takes about 8 minutes for the light from the Sun to reach Earth, and a second or so for it to reach the Moon. The light being reflected back to you from the moon is actually light from the Sun. So Light from Sun to Earth 8 minutes ( i am using round figures ) to the moon 8 minutes 1 second. Light from the Moon to the Earth is 1 sec. However the light your are seeing is 8 minutes and 2 seconds old, not 1 second. The reason you think it is quicker is because the Moon is closer to the Earth, its kind of a trick question. Or part of the time, the moon is closer to the sun than the Earth is. Like this morning when looking to the East just before sunrise, I saw a crescent moon. The light from the sun arrived at the moon first, then reflected to us. In this case, that path of light would be approximately the same distance as a beam of light directly from the sun.
How much of the moon gets light from the sun at all times?
It depends how much part of earth is in between sun and moon blocking sun's light as the moon is a sphere and earth's shadow causes it to look like being changing its shape.

Reflected sunlight from the Moon takes about 1.28 seconds to travel to Earth. This is because light travels at a speed of about 299,792 km/s in a vacuum, so the time it takes for light to travel a distance is given by distance divided by speed.
