No, the moon is somtimes far enough from the Earth that its angular size is smaller than the sun.

Why aren't stars blurry in the night sky?

Stars are very far away. Eyes just haven't got enough angular resolution. You can help it artificially with technology. Larger the thing, better the angular resolution.


Is the shadow of the moon always long enough to reach the Earth?

No, the shadow of the moon is not always long enough to reach the Earth. During a solar eclipse, the moon's shadow on Earth is limited to a specific region where the alignment of the sun, moon, and Earth allows for the shadow to be cast on the Earth's surface.


Do stars shine forever?

there are new ones every day being born..others are fizzling out.its an ongoing process that i think,will continue on and on.. No...altho the light you see will last for hundreds of years after the star is gone...nothing keeps it's form forever....


Why cant you see the moon on winter nights?

During winter nights, the moon's position in the sky changes, so it may not always be visible. Additionally, winter nights are typically longer, which means there is more time for the moon to set below the horizon before the sky gets dark enough for it to be seen. Other factors like weather conditions and the moon's phase can also affect visibility.


Why does the space shuttle fly in the thermosphere?

it doesn't necessarily fly, its in a constant angular free fall around the planet which is what being in orbit means. But if you're asking why the space shuttle stays in the thermosphere, the answer would be because thats the layer of the earth's atmosphere where a space shuttle's velocity is enough to counteract the earth's gravitational pull, creating an angular free fall as mentioned earlier.

Is angular acceleration and torque per unit moment of inertia are equal?

In magnitude, yes. But that's a strange way of expressing it, since the angular acceleration is the product/result of the torque. Your statement seems in a way to confuse the dependent and independent variables. But the numbers are sound. L = Iα so L/I =α sure enough. It's the rotational analog of F = MA. The analogous statement would be to say that linear acceleration is equal to force per unit of mass. Relatively harmless, I guess.

What is the centripetal acceleration of a stone with a radius of 0.75 meters and a height of 1.5 meters and travels a horizontal distance of 4 meters?

I don't think you have enough information. Here are two formulae to calculate centripetal acceleration: a = v2 / r a = omega2 x r (omega is the angular speed, in radians per second) Basically, apart from the radius you also need to know (or have enough information to calculate) the speed (or equivalently, the angular speed).

One time you could see the space station during orbit Yes light reflection Does this not always happen?

If it is dark enough and the International Space Station is high enough, you will clearly see it reflecting sunlight towards Earth. See the related question below.
