Why does the moon seem to go down when the sun comes up?

The moon appears to "go down" when the sun comes up because its position in the sky is influenced by the rotation of the Earth. The moon orbits the Earth just like the Earth orbits the sun, so as Earth rotates, it seems like the moon moves across the sky. When the sun rises, the moon's position in the sky is lower as it follows its own orbit.


Why is the moon going down at night?

The moon appears to go down at night because of the Earth's rotation. As the Earth spins on its axis, different parts of the world experience day and night. So, when it's night in your location, the moon is simply moving across the sky as the Earth rotates, giving the illusion of it going down.


Why does the moon get so hot during the day and so cold at night?

The moon has no atmosphere to trap heat, so during the day it absorbs a lot of sunlight and gets very hot. At night, without an atmosphere to retain heat, the moon quickly cools down and the temperature drops significantly.


Did the moon ever have lava?

Yes, the moon did have lava. Early in its history, the moon experienced volcanic activity that led to the formation of large basaltic plains called "maria." These maria are visible on the moon's surface today and are evidence of past volcanic activity.


Objects weigh less on the moon because?

Objects weigh less on the moon because it has less gravity compared to Earth. The gravitational pull of the moon is about one-sixth that of Earth, so objects on the moon experience less force pulling them down, resulting in lower weight.
