Does the atmosphere absorb a lot of energy directly from the sun?
No, most of the sun's energy that reaches the Earth's atmosphere is absorbed by the surface of the Earth. The atmosphere does absorb some of the energy but it is relatively small compared to the energy absorbed by the Earth's surface.
Why are the craters on the moon all perfectly circular?
It can not be because the moon has no atmosphere or gravity....in fact many craters would then have a parabolical shape because all meteorites can not impact with the moon at an exact vertical angle. So why can it be? It is because the theories of the moon being part of a very young earth is simply not true. Earth with it's much stronger gravitational pull should attract far more meteorites away from the moon, had this been the case. Also, the moon, being so close to earth, is protected by the earth from meteorite strikes directly in line with the earth. Earth's gravity would not allow meteorites to hit the moon directly behind it. Missing earth, the meteorites will definitely not impact with the moon directly behind earth. Many craters are on the side of the moon facing earth, so how did these meteorites get past earth to stirke the moon exactly face on? Remember that the moon is in terms of the universe, very close to earth therefore earth is shielding the moon against many many meteorite strikes from directly behind earth itself. Sorry, but I can not answer this question!
When the moon moves directly between the sun and earth?
When the moon moves directly between the sun and Earth, it causes a solar eclipse. During this event, the moon blocks some or all of the sun's light from reaching Earth, resulting in a temporary darkening of the sky. Depending on the alignment, this can lead to a total, partial, or annular eclipse. Solar eclipses are relatively rare and occur only during a new moon phase.
Where is the sun when you view a full moon?
When you view a full moon, the sun is directly opposite the moon, which is why the moon appears fully illuminated. This positioning is known as "opposition" and it occurs when the sun, Earth, and moon are in a straight line with Earth in the middle.
What is the blocking of sunlight to the moon that occurs when earth is directly between the sun and moon?
When earth is directly between the sun and moon, it is a lunar eclipse.when moon is directly between earth and passes across the sun, it is a solar eclipse.
Why don't people on Earth see an eclipse of the moon every full Moon phase?
The Moon orbits around the Earth on an angle so it usually does not go directly behind the Earth. When it does move directly behind the earth, that is when we see a lunar eclipse.
What is lunare eclipse?
It is when the moon pases directly behind earth and into its shadow.
What happens when mars is directly behind earth?
then mars will be dark like when the moon is in front of the sun
What cause a lunar eclipses?
A lunar eclipse happens when the Moon passes directly behind the Earth. This puts the Moon into the Earth's shadow cast by the Sun.
How do you account for the eclipse of the sun?
the moon moves directly between the and the earth. the disappears behind the moon and we have eclipse of the son.
Does the atmosphere absorb a lot of energy directly from the sun?
No, most of the sun's energy that reaches the Earth's atmosphere is absorbed by the surface of the Earth. The atmosphere does absorb some of the energy but it is relatively small compared to the energy absorbed by the Earth's surface.
The position of the moon in its orbit when at new or full phase?
New is when the moon is in front of the earth and full is when it is behind the earth because the sun is shining directly onto it, face on. answer is syzygy
What is the legend behind the constellation polaris?
Polaris is NOT a constellation - it is a star. It's the North Star, meaning, it is directly above Earth's North Pole.
What moon phase has earth directly between the sun and moon?
The full moon. Earth is ALMOST directly between the sun and moon, so the sun is "behind" us when we look at the moon. That is why the moon appears entirely lit to us, and is considered "full". If Earth IS directly between the sun and moon, which does not happen during most full moons, then there is a lunar eclipse.

How is the Moon's orbit positioned relative to the ecliptic?
The Moon's orbit is tilted at an angle of about 5 degrees relative to the ecliptic plane, which is the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun. This inclination means that the Moon does not always pass directly in front of or behind the Earth in relation to the Sun, leading to the occurrence of eclipses only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align closely at specific points known as nodes. As the Moon orbits Earth, it moves through these nodes, which is why eclipses are relatively rare events.
How quickly can you get to Jupiter?
If Jupiter was directly behind earth and you could travel at the speed of light you could get there in 35 minutes that's as quick as the laws of physics would allow you to get there.
