Why is it that the round outline of the moon can sometimes be seen during the new moon or cresant phase?
The phenomenon is called Earthshine, which occurs when sunlight is reflected off the Earth and onto the dark side of the Moon. This reflected light illuminates the outline of the Moon, making it visible during the new moon or crescent phase.
When does earthshine occur?
Sunlight reflected from Earth, especially that reflected onto the dark side of the Moon. For a few days before and after each new moon, this doubly reflected light is powerful enough to make the whole Moon visible, producing the effect, in the case of the new moon, of "the new moon holding the old moon in her arms."
Does earth reflect or emit light onto the moon?
The Sun's light is reflected off the Moon, making it appear to glow. The Moon is not reflecting light from the Earth. Although some sunlight is reflecting off the Earth to the Moon.
Where does the light come from that you see from the moon?
The light comes from the Sun. Not only does the Sun shine on Earth, but it also shines on the Moon. The sunlight that shines onto the Moon is reflected back into space and we see it as moon light. NB All the othert planets in the Solar System will have sun lighty.
Why do we see light from the moon?
The moon doesn't generate light on its own, but the moon does reflect light very well. When we see the moon in the sky, we are seeing the sunlight shining onto the moon and reflecting off its surface. You are seeing what is in fact the moon's daytime illumination. The part of the moon that appears dark is experiencing lunar night time. You would see the same kind of thing if your were on the moon observing the earth.
Why do we get moonlight?
It is sunlight reflected from the moon's surface onto the earth.

How many types of symmetry are there?
There are several types of symmetry:rotational symmetry: an object maps exactly onto another if rotated about an axistranslational symmetry: an object maps exactly onto another if moved along a linereflective symmetry: an object maps exactly onto another if reflected along a lineand many combinations of the above, such as helical symmetry where an object maps exactly onto another if moved along a line and rotated about an axis.· Rotoreflection symmetry· Helical symmetry· Non-isometric symmetries· Scale symmetry and fractals
