Where can the missing bit be found when the moon is not quite round?

Where can the bit of moon found when the moon is not quiet round?

It's still in the same place it's always been. The earth simply casts a shadow over the surface of the moon as it rotates around the Earth.


What is the answer to the moon is round game?

There are two versions that I've ever played. The first is that just before they say "The moon is round, the moon is round..." they do a little cough. And if you don't do the little cough, you haven't got it. The other is that they use their left hand while doing it. It's a bit confusing, because it looks like they are using their right hand if you don't think about it, but...


Why is the moon round?

The moon is round because of gravity. Gravity pulls every bit of the moon together towards every other bit of the moon, crushing it all together into a big ball. You must also always take into accoutnt he fact that the moon revolves aroudn the earth, the same way every other round planet revolves around the sun. However it is questionable whether gravity is truelly the reasont he moon is round. Had the moon been placed, one solid object, then perhaps it has no need to be compacted.


Does the moon change its own shape?

It doesn't. The molten core of the moon has long since cooled off and solidified. The moon appears to change its shape depending where it is relative to the sun and the earth. For example, a new moon (completely dark) occurs when the sun is shining on the other side of the moon. The crescent moon appears one week later as the moon travels round the earth and we see a little bit of the illuminated side.

What causes the moon to change?

the different shapes are called phases and they change as the moon moves round the earth and therefore changes the distance from the sun so the dark part is the shadow of the moon and the part you can see is the part in the sunlight.Additional answerThe moon doesn't actually change shape. You may be asking why it sometimes looks round, at other times, crescent shaped. It's not changed shape, it's that you can only see part of it, and different parts at different times. When the position of the moon, earth and sun are such that they are in that order, the whole side of the moon that's towards the earth is lit by the sun and we see it as a round shape. But usually the earth is not exactly in between the moon and the sun, but a bit offset. We then see part of the moon that's not lit as well as part that is. The part that is varies in its apparent shape depending on just how much of it we can see. If most of what we can see is unlit, the lit bit looks like a slim crescent.Also, the phases do not change as the moon moves round the earth but how its relationship with the sun and earth changes

What is it like on moon?

The moon is a barren rocky place with low gravity and lots of dust. It does not have an atmosphere due to low gravity. We do not believe there is life on the moon because vital elements found in all life on earth are missing. Temperature when dark is amazingly cold and when light, it raises very high. The moon does not have a magnetic field as such to protect against radiation from the sun. It simply absorbs and reflect a little bit of what ever the sun throws at it. If being able to go there, you would experience ease of movement and be able to jump very high and long due to low gravity.
