imagine being in a dark room and holding up a black ball, which you can't see. then you turn on a flashlight and shine it on the moon. you can see the part of the ball that the flashlight shines on but you can't see the other half. now walk around the ball withought getting in the light's way. when you are behind the ball, you can't see it at all. when you are to the side of the ball, you can see half of it. when you are in front of the ball, you can see the whole thing. the ball represents the moon, the flashlight is the sun, and you are the earth. technicaly the ball should be going around you and not you around the ball, but the same effect will happen. this is how moon phases work.
No, Jupiter's moons do not have phases like Earth's moon. Phases are caused by the changing positions of the sun, Earth, and moon, but Jupiter's moons have no light of their own and do not reflect sunlight in the same way.
The moon does not actually change shape, but its appearance from Earth does. This is due to its orbit around the Earth, which causes different portions of the moon to be illuminated by the sun at different times.
Well yes and no. The phases of the moon were understood well before Galileo --- however Galileo discovered the moons of Jupiter and no doubt their associated phases --- as well as the phases of Venus.
because the moon always moves
The changing phases of the moon are caused by its position relative to the Earth and the Sun. As the moon orbits the Earth, the amount of sunlight it reflects changes, creating the different phases we see from Earth.
The tidal effect (guess where it got that name) caused by the gravity of the Sun and Moon.
Venus has no moons.
Spring tides are caused by new and full moons. Neap tides are caused by 1st and 3rd quarter moons.
Mercury does not have any moons.
Yes! Both the moons, that is the Phobos and Deimos have phases like the moon of our's.
No, Jupiter's moons do not have phases like Earth's moon. Phases are caused by the changing positions of the sun, Earth, and moon, but Jupiter's moons have no light of their own and do not reflect sunlight in the same way.
phases
The pressure and temperature mostly the temperature.
you use the moons movement and phases to tell time because of the seasons, rotation, and revolution

mangekyou sharingan
the way the sun light hits it during the rotation of the moon
