The different phases of the moon are caused by?
Actually it is not the rotation of the earth but the orbit of the moon around the earth that causes the phases of the moon. The moon's relationship in it's orbit with regard to the sun is what causes the phases to change. When the moon is between the earth and the sun, it is in a "new moon" phase because the only side of the moon that is lit with sunshine is the far side or the unseen side of the moon. When the earth is between the sun and the moon, the moon is at "full moon" phase. In between these two extremes gives us the 1st quarter and the 3rd quarter phases.
What phase is the moon in when its 3 o'clock in the afternoon?
Impossible to answer considering the phase change change on a day to day basis.
In what phase is the moon when you do not see it?
The phase in which the moon is not visible from earth is called the "new" moon. It happens when the moon is aligned between the sun and the earth (every 28 days), which causes the side of the moon that we usually see to be in shadow.
How long does it take the moon to complete an entire phase change?
It takes about 29.5 days for the moon to complete an entire phase change cycle, which includes all the phases from new moon to full moon and back to new moon. This period is known as a lunar month or synodic month.
What causes the dark part of the phase of the moon?
The Earth blocks out some of the light from the sun going to the moon so a part of it has no light
What real motion of the moon causes the pattern of moon phases?
the rotation of the moon causes the pattern of the moon phase.
What phase change causes water to evaporate?
This phase change is called evaporation.
What causes the moon to phase?
the way the sun light hits it during the rotation of the moon
What causes a substance to change a phase?
