Yes. The phases of the moon aren't based on the size of the moon. Phases are based on the position of the moon in relation to the sun.

What would happen to the moon phases if the moon still revolve but earth did not The cycle of phases would be slower?

If the Moon continued to revolve around the Earth while the Earth remained stationary, the cycle of moon phases would still occur, but the appearance of the Moon would change more gradually. The phases would progress at a consistent rate relative to the Moon's orbit, but the context of the Earth not rotating would alter the visibility of those phases for observers on Earth. As a result, the timing of when each phase is visible would be affected, potentially leading to longer periods of visibility for some phases.


What does the moon look like if your on the moon?

If you were standing on the moon, the Earth would appear larger in the sky and would go through phases just like our moon does from Earth. The sky would be black and stars would be more visible due to the lack of atmosphere on the moon. The sun would still look like a bright white disc in the sky.


Another word for stages of the moon?

The stages of the Moon, are referred to as the 'Phases of the Moon'.


why hypothetical scenario would result in the moon not having different phases?

Because the phases of the moon are Half Full and Half full.


How would the Moon appear to an observer in space during its revolution Would phases be observable Explain?

During the Moon's revolution, an observer in space would see the moon, but would not be able to see it spin around. From far to the north, about the solar system, the moon would appear to make a squiggly

no

What would earth be like if the moon was further?

-- The moon would appear smaller. -- The moon would take longer to display a complete cycle of phases. -- There would still be two high tides and two low ones every day, but they would be smaller on the average.


Would you see phases of the earth from the moon?

Yes.


How can data be collected to show change in the moon phases?

print out a calender and go outside every night and chart the moon for a month. then you would have seen the all the moon phases!


How much phases dos the moon have?

The moon has 8 phases


How many phases of the moon of there?

There are only 8 phases of the moon.

Would you see lunar phases if the moon did not rotate while it orbit earth?

No, if the moon did not rotate as it orbits the Earth, we would always see the same face of the moon and there would be no changing lunar phases. This is because the changing phases of the moon are caused by the angle between the sun, Earth, and moon as the moon orbits Earth.
