What else can I help you with?
Is the full moon the one that appears to be close enough that you can almost tough it?
No, since the moon is outside Earth's atmosphere no matter how close it looks you can never touch it.
Why is the moon as small as Australia?
The moon is as small asAustralia because the moon was formed when an object the size of mars smashed into the still molten baby earth (about 3.5 billion years ago). It knocked off a chunk of earth roughly the size of Australia. The chunk of molten earth was sucked into our gravitational field. Due to the theory of relativity and the size of the chunk it developed its own gravity thus making it spherical and the size of Australia.
What is it when the moon appears to be red?
This happens during a lunar eclipse when the earth appears apparently blocking out the moon. This can only happen on a full moon and due to this effect, the moon appears to be red.
What phase of the moon appears completely dark when observed from Earth?
The new moon phase appears completely dark when observed from Earth because the side of the moon illuminated by the sun is facing away from us. This means that no sunlight is reaching the side of the moon that we can see, making it invisible to us.
What do you call a moon that appears as a circle?
A full moon is a moon that appears as a complete circle in the sky, when the Earth is positioned between the sun and the moon, illuminating the entire near side of the moon.
Is the full moon the one that appears to be close enough that you can almost tough it?
No, since the moon is outside Earth's atmosphere no matter how close it looks you can never touch it.

What color is Eris's moon?
Eris's moon Dysnomia, appears to be made of material similar to Eris and Eris appears almost grey.
Why is the moon so big?
Because it is. There's no real explanation for the size of celestial bodies. What you have to appreciate is that the Earth, the moon and other plannets in our part of the solar system (mercury, venus, mars) are relatively small compared to other"space things" Xx
Does the earth look bright when it is seen from the moon?
From the surface of the Moon, the Earth appears substantially larger than the full moon does from Earth. This would be expected since the Earth's diameter is 4 times that of the Moon. Also, the Earth is always in the lunar sky for the one-half of the Moon that faces Earth, and is never visible from the opposite side. It would always appear to be in almost exactly the same place. It only appears to "rise and set" along a small strip between the two faces of the Moon.The brightness would vary with the phases, which would be exactly the opposite of the concurrent phase of the Moon: when the Moon is Full, the Earth is new, and vice versa. However, the Earth would be outshone by the Sun for the 14 days of lunar "daylight" in which the Sun and Earth are both always in the sky. This would make the Earth nearly invisible when it was close to the Sun.
Why Does The Moon Approximately Look Like The Same Size as the earth from the earth?
The Moon appears a lot smaller (which it is) when viewed from the Earth.
Explain the moon sometimes appears as a crescent?
At that time, there is still exactly half of the moon illuminated by the sun. But from our position on earth, we can only see a small part of the illuminated half.
What moon phase has earth directly between the sun and moon?
The full moon. Earth is ALMOST directly between the sun and moon, so the sun is "behind" us when we look at the moon. That is why the moon appears entirely lit to us, and is considered "full". If Earth IS directly between the sun and moon, which does not happen during most full moons, then there is a lunar eclipse.
What shape does the moon orbits the earth?
The moon orbits the earth almost a complete circle.
Is the sun bigger than the earth and moon?
The sun is hundreds of millions of times larger than the earth and its moon. It appears relatively small in the sky because it is so far away. The sun is around 150,000,000 kilometers away, and as you know: the further something is away from you, the smaller it appears.
Word that means Different ways the moon appears from earth?
"Phases" of the Moon.
