Not if you happen to be in New Zealand or Singapore. Check a globe and you can see where Australia is in relation to your location.

What part of the moon is always lit up by the sun?

The side of the moon facing the sun is always lit up, while the opposite side remains in darkness. This phenomenon is due to the moon's synchronous rotation, which results in one side always facing the sun.


If you were on the moons near side during a new moon how much of the side of earths facing you would be sunlight?

As Earth rotates, the side of Earth that facing the Sun spends more time in daylight, while the opposite is true for the other side.


What happens when the moon is direct opposite of the sun?

When the moon is directly opposite the sun in the sky, it is a full moon. This means that the side of the moon facing Earth is fully illuminated by the sun, creating a bright and round appearance in the night sky.


When the sun and moon are on opposite side of the earth what will the tide be like at the position indicated by the arrow in the image above?

When the sun and moon are on opposite sides of the Earth, the position indicated by the arrow will experience high tide. This occurs because the gravitational pull from both the sun and moon creates a bulge in the ocean on the side of the Earth facing them, as well as on the opposite side. The areas at 90-degree angles from this alignment will experience lower tides, known as low tides.


Which half of the earth is the light side?

The half of the Earth facing the sun is considered the light side, while the half facing away is in darkness. This creates day and night as the Earth rotates on its axis.

Why is it day time in Australia when it's night time in Africa?

Simply put, as the Earth makes its daily rotation about its axis, one side is always facing the Sun while the opposite side faces away from the Sun. The side facing away from the Sun, whether it's Australia or England, experiences night. London and Sydney aren't quite opposite each other on the globe, being only about 150 degrees apart, so at 9 AM in Sydney, it will be midnight in London.


What does the sun help to rise?

Well, assuming the Earth rotated in such a way that one side was always facing the sun and the opposite side were always facing away from it, like Venus (maybe it was Mercury), then Earth could not support life because the side facing the sun would be very hot, and the other side would be very cold, like Venus, the side always facing the sun is around 900 degrees F, and the cold side is around -280 or -300 degrees F.

How much Sun exposure does Mercury have the planet?

50%-50% ...... The planet does not rotate on its axis. Therefore, the side facing the sun receives complete sunlight .... while the opposite side of the planet is perpetually "dark".


Will the south side of earth have night when the north is day?

Yes, the Earth rotates on its axis, causing different parts of the planet to experience day and night at different times. When one side of the Earth is facing the sun (experiencing day), the opposite side is facing away from the sun (experiencing night).


Why is it day in one area of the Earth and then night in another?

right say it is night in the UK and day in Australia. it would be the day in Australia because that side of the earth is facing the sun. and it is night here in the UK because it is facing away from the sun!! hope this helps! your friend Tomylad


Do you have day and night because the earth orbits the sun?

Day and night happen Because the earth rotates the side facing the sun is day that the side that doesn't is night that's why we have time zones and when it's day on one side of the earth it's night on the opposite side
