well since the moon only face us one side when a eclipse occur the side which faceing the earth are going to be shadow because the sun is at the back of the moon which is why a eclipse occur. by the way the moon only face one side becuase the moon take the same time to orbit the earth and turns around on its own axist. the simple way to understand is that when the moon orbit the earth quater way and itself turns quater way, when it orbit the earth another quater way it turns quater way and so on so on like that, in conclution no mater what happens the moon will only facing us use one side of it face.

Which phase does the moon receive sunlight only on a side facing away the earth?

The phase in which the moon receives sunlight only on the side facing away from the Earth is called the "new moon." During this phase, the illuminated side of the moon is not visible from Earth, making it appear dark. The new moon occurs when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun, aligning them in such a way that the sunlit side is turned away from us.


Is sunlight always shining on half of Earth?

Sunlight is always shining on one half of the Earth as the planet rotates on its axis, causing day and night. This rotation creates a cycle of 24 hours with half of the globe facing the sun ("day side") and the other half facing away from it ("night side").


When its night time is the earth facing the sun or facing away from the sun?

It is night in the hemisphere facing away from the Sun.


How does the sun affect the seasons on earth?

In winter, the part of Earth is not facing the Sun so it makes that season we have in North America cold. In summer, that part of Earth is facing the Sun which makes it hot. Spring and Fall are seasons that nearly faces all the Sun.


What determines daylight and night?

Daylight and night are determined by the rotation of the Earth on its axis. Daylight occurs when a specific location on Earth is facing the Sun, allowing sunlight to illuminate that area. In contrast, night occurs when that same location is facing away from the Sun, resulting in darkness.

Why is there no sun at night?

At night time the part of the Earth you are on, is facing away from the sun so it does not receive any sunlight. As the Earth turns around to face the sun it becomes morning.

Why do the south facing sides of a building receive more sunlight than the north?

Because we live in the Northern Hemisphere. The most sun exposure on Earth is at the Equator so in the Northern Hemisphere, the southern-facing windows have the largest angle facing the sun while the northern-facing windows face away from the sun. In the southern hemisphere, this is the opposite.

What angle is the earth in the winter?

The Earth is at the same angle, summer or winter. In winter the nearest pole to you is facing slightly away from the sun as the Earth moves in its orbit, in summer your nearest pole faces slightly towards the sun.

How does the spinning of the Earth on its axis cause day and night?

The Earth is a sphere, and too far from the Sun for any significant light to reach the side facing away from the Sun. So at any given time, about one-half of the Earth is facing the Sun and in daylight. The other half is facing away and experiences night. As the Earth turns, locations move into the sunlight and then out of it again. When not being heated by the Sun, the Earth radiates away its heat into space, which is why the night is substantially cooler than the day.


Why are the poles the coldest on earth?

The poles are the coldest places on Earth because of the tilt of Earth's axis. The axis tilts the poles away from the sun so they receive very little sunlight, and very little warmth.
