What else can I help you with?
Is the moon visible on cloudy nights?
Depending on the phase of the moon and how dense the clouds are you may see a diffuse light behind the clouds.
What pattern of movement does the moon appear to have during the full moon nights in Michigan?
During full moon nights in Michigan, the moon appears to rise in the east around sunset and set in the west around sunrise. It follows a similar path as the sun does during the day, but it is visible at night.
Why do you have cooler temperatures on cloudless nights?
Clouds act as a blanket, trapping heat and preventing it from escaping into the atmosphere. On cloudless nights, this blanket effect is absent, allowing heat to radiate faster from the surface, leading to cooler temperatures.
How many nights in a row will you may not see the moon?
You may not see the moon for about two to three nights in a row during the new moon phase when it is positioned between the Earth and the Sun. During this time, the moon's illuminated side faces away from Earth, making it nearly invisible. After the new moon, the moon will gradually become visible again as it waxes.
What are the nights without moon are called?
Nights without a moon are typically called "moonless nights." These nights can be especially dark and make stargazing easier because there is less light pollution from the moon.
Why on cloudless nights can the moon still not be seen?
The Moon is only up about half the time; you may be looking up when the Moon is already set, or not yet up, or new.
Is the moon visible on cloudy nights?
Depending on the phase of the moon and how dense the clouds are you may see a diffuse light behind the clouds.
Were there nights you could not see the moon?
Yes, and there still will be. Cloudy nights can obscure the moon. Depending on the phases, a new Moon will not be visible as the Sun isn't shining on the half that you can see. Finally, although rare, lunar eclipses (where the Earth is directly between the Sun and the Moon) hide the Moon.

The name of moisture deposited by condensation of water vapour on exposed objects especially during calm and cloudless nights?
Dew.
Why does the moon appear as a different shape in the sky on different nights?
The moon appears as a different shape in the sky on different nights because of its position in relation to the Earth and the Sun. As the moon orbits the Earth, the amount of sunlight that reflects off its surface changes, causing different portions of the moon to be visible from Earth. This creates the different shapes, or phases, of the moon that we see in the sky.
What are the nights without moon are called?
Nights without a moon are typically called "moonless nights." These nights can be especially dark and make stargazing easier because there is less light pollution from the moon.
What is it called when there is lightning in a cloudless sky?
This phenomenon is called "heat lightning," which occurs when lightning from a distant thunderstorm is visible from a clear sky without audible thunder. The lightning is too far away for the sound to travel, giving the appearance of lightning in a cloudless sky.
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.
Can you see sunlight from the moon?
Yes, sunlight can be seen from the moon. During the day on the moon, the surface facing the sun is illuminated just like on Earth. However, as the moon rotates, there are also lunar nights where the sunlight is not visible.
