Why does the new moon seem so dark?
The new moon appears dark in the sky because the side of the moon facing Earth is not illuminated by the sun. During this phase, the moon is located between the Earth and the sun, so the side of the moon that is lit is facing away from us, making it seem dark.
What are the different shapes of the moon seem from earth called?
The Moon's Phases (or Lunar Phases).
Are astronauts on the moon weightless?
No, astronauts on the moon are not weightless. They have weight due to the moon's gravitational pull, which is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity. This means they experience a lesser force of gravity compared to Earth, allowing them to move more easily on the lunar surface.
What is the distance to the moon from Earth?
Oh kindness, that's a lovely question! The distance from Earth to the moon can range from around 225,623 miles to 252,088 miles because the moon's orbit isn't a perfect circle. Always remember, no matter how far away things may seem, there's still beauty to be found in every moment along the way.Just breathe in those peaceful moonlit nights and let your creativity sparkle.
Why does the moon seem bigger than any other star?
The moon is much closer to Earth than any other star, which makes it appear larger in the sky. Stars are actually much larger than the moon, but their distance from Earth makes them appear as tiny points of light in the night sky.
How long will it take for the moon to drift out of our orbit?
The Moon will drift farther and farther from Earth, while Earth slows down, until Earth always shows the Moon the same face (just as the Moon already shows Earth the same face all the time). It doesn't seem that the Moon will completely escape from Earth's gravity.

Why does the moon follow you?
The moon appears to follow you because of its position in the sky relative to your own movement. This is an optical illusion caused by the vast distance between the Earth and the moon, making it seem like the moon is always nearby no matter where you go.

Why does the shape of the moon seem to change?
The moon reflects sunlight and it orbits out planet, Earth, so we see the reflected sunlight at different angles on the moon, causing the appearance of the moon to change.
Which planets seem like earth in your solar system?
Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of size and distance from the Sun.
Why does the sky seem black on the moon?
Because the Moon has no atmosphere, there is no reaction of molecules to the Sun's rays, as there is on Earth during the daytime. If the Earth had no atmosphere, the stars would be visible all the time.
Why does the moon seem so big compared to the stars?
Because the Moon is much nearer than the stars to the Earth.
Does the moon really rise?
The moon revolves around Earth, which makes it seem like it rises, either at day or night.
