What is the moment when the sun appears to be across the celestial equator called?

The sun appears to cross the celestial equator twice in the course of one year. The point in the sky where the sun appears to cross the celestial equator on its way south is called the Autumnal Equinox. The moment when it appears to be in that position is called the "Beginning of Fall" in the northern hemisphere. The point in the sky where the sun appears to cross the celestial equator on its way north is called the Vernal Equinox. The moment when it appears to be in that position is called the "Beginning of Spring" in the northern hemisphere.This happens at the equinox, which is around March 21 and September 21. (The date varies a day or so either way, depending on the cycle of leap years.)If you need to know exactly when this is, you can look that up on the US Naval Observatory's web site on the "Earth's Seasons" page (linked below).


When you look at the moon from earth what do you see?

When you look at the moon from Earth, you see its different phases (full moon, crescent, etc.) as it orbits our planet.

Why when you stare at green for a while and then look at white it appears blue?

This phenomenon is known as afterimage, where the cones in the eyes responsible for perceiving green are overstimulated and become fatigued. When you then look at a white background, the signals from these cones are temporarily distorted, causing the brain to perceive a different color, in this case blue.


Why does the moon look a little bit different every night?

The Moon appears different every night due to its changing position in relation to the Sun and Earth. This causes different portions of the Moon to be illuminated by sunlight, creating its phases. The Moon's orbit around the Earth also affects how much of its illuminated side is visible to us.
