The part of the Sun that we see from Earth is its outer layer called the photosphere. This layer emits visible light and is where sunspots and solar flares can be observed. The photosphere has an average temperature of about 5,500 degrees Celsius (9,932 degrees Fahrenheit), making it the brightest part of the Sun that we can see with the naked eye, provided we use proper solar viewing techniques.
What else can I help you with?
Can you only see the part of the moon that the sun shines on?
Yes Because the suns light reflects on the moon. we cannot see the sun because its on the back part of the earth so we will be on the dark side
Explain what causes us to see the different phases of the moon Include in your explanation a reference to the motion of the moon involved the relationship of the earth's and moon's plane of orbit a?
What you can see of the moon is the light of the sun on the moon. The part that is dark is where the sun's light is not shining on the moon. The part where the light of the sun is on the moon is experiencing "moon day" and where it is not shining is the "moon night." When the moon is in part of its orbit that is between the earth and the sun, we mostly see the part of the moon which is dark. Since the moon is on the sun's side of the earth, we see it during the day. So a New Moon can always be seen during the day. Conversely, when the moon is in the part of its orbit in which the earth is between the moon and the sun, we mostly see the part of the moon which is in sunshine. We mostly see the moon at night, and a Full Moon can always be seen during the night. It is important to note that the dark part of the moon is not the earth's shadow on the moon. The earth's shadow falls on the moon occurs during a lunar eclipse, which is always during a full moon because the earth is between the sun and the moon and always seen at night.
Can people only see the part of the moon where the sun is shining on it?
This is essentially correct. When part of the moon is in darkness, we can't see it. Additionally, the same side of the moon faces earth all the time as our satellite is locked in its orbit to constantly face earth. We only see the portion of the moon that is both illuminated by the sun and facing the earth.
What happen to the sun at night?
Nothing really happens to the sun at night. Instead it is what happens to the part of the Earth where it is night. The earth is always turning, and the part that is turned away from the sun and is in shadow is called night. The sun is shining just the same in other parts of the world at the same time that you have night. See the Web Link for a simple explanation of this.
What part of the moon is always in sunlight?
The part of the moon that is always in sunlight is the "near side" of the moon, which faces Earth and receives light from the sun. This is the side that we see from Earth, as the moon rotates at the same rate that it orbits Earth, keeping the same side facing us.
Why do you see the sun at daytime?
the part of the earth that you are on faces the sun. (the earth rotates on its axis) When it faces the sun, you see it.
What part of the sun do we see from Earth?
Photosphere
The part of the Sun that is normally visible from the Earth is?
From Earth, the Photosphere is the part visible on the Sun, though the Corona is the top layer of the Sun. We cannot see the Corona because the Photosphere is so bright.
Why do you see the sun but not the other stars?
Day and night are caused by Earth rotating. At night the part of Earth you are on is facing away from the sun, so Earth itself blocks the sun from view.
What part of the sun do you actually see from the earth?
all of it.......... since we orbit around the sun we eventually through out the year see the whole thing.
Why do you see other stars at night but not the Sun?
Day and night are caused by Earth rotating. At night the part of Earth you are on is facing away from the sun, so Earth itself blocks the sun from view.

Yes Because the suns light reflects on the moon. we cannot see the sun because its on the back part of the earth so we will be on the dark side
What part of the sun gives off sunlight traveling to earth in 8.3 minutes?
The outer part of the Sun, that emits the light we see, is called the photosphere.
When do you see the whole lighted part of the moon?
When the Moon is the opposite side of the Earth to the Sun.
Is the center of the earth part of the sun?
Of course not. If it's the center of the Earth, it means that it's part of the Earth, not the sun.
