Waning.


To what is the illumination of a surface by a light source directly proportional?

The illumination on the surface would be reduced by a factor of four, thereforeif the distance from a light source is doubled, the illumination provided by the source is one fourth as great.


What is the illumination of a surface by a light source directly proportional?

The illumination of a surface by a light source is directly proportional to the intensity of the light source and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the light source and the surface. This relationship is described by the inverse square law of illumination.

How does the illumination on a surface vary with distance from a light source?

The illumination on a surface decreases as the distance from the light source increases. This is because light spreads out as it travels, leading to a decrease in light intensity the further away from the source. The relationship between illumination and distance follows an inverse square law, where doubling the distance results in a fourfold decrease in illumination.


Does Mercury surface has many craters?

Yes it is similar to the moons surface


What are two useful things moons provide for the planets they orbit?

On Earth, the Moon provides nighttime illumination, and is the major factor in ocean tides. On other planets, neither of these is true. With multiple moons, orbital distances and timing can vary, and the moons on Mars are too far from the planet (and the Sun) to provide much illumination. Illumination is irrelevant on the gas giants. Although tidal forces are present on other planets, liquid water is not. So the one purpose moons fulfill is on Saturn, where they shepherd some of the rings.
