Why is earths atmosphere warmed un evenly by the sun?
The sun can only shine on part of the earth's surface at any one time. This is why we have day and night in a rolling approach as the earth rotates.
Why doesn't the sun shine at night?
The Sun shines all the time, but only one side of the Earth can face the Sun, and this constantly changes as the Earth spins. The Sun does not actually go around the Earth, but it seems to as the Earth rotates.At night, you are on the half of the Earth that is facing away from the Sun, so it is still shining, but on the other side of the Earth. You can still see some of the Sun's light at night, because it is the light that is reflected by the Moon.
Why does the sun not always shine on the moon?
It pretty much always does, except when the Earth gets in the way. This produces a lunar eclipse. However, the side of the moon it's shining on isn't necessarily the side facing us, so part of the time we can't see the lit side.
Can you see the entire surface of the moon from earth?
Actually you can only see the whole moon in space. On earth you can only see about half. No, Just the half of it. That's what the term "dark side of the Moon" stands for. The "dark side" of the Moon is the side unseen from Earth. The moon rotates on its axis once in the time that it take for it to orbit the Earth at this time of its history. The result is that the same side always faces the earth. so we only ever get to see one face of it, while the other side remained a mystery, at least until we managed to go there and have a look.
Why you can see only one side of moon?
The moon rotates on it's axis within the same period of time the moon orbits the earth, therefore only the "near side" of the moon can be seen from Earth. Technically the moon's "year" and the moon's "day" are equal length.
Why do we have days and nights on the Earth?
Because at night, we need sleep. And in the day time the sun gives out vitamin D, necessary for healthy bones. Because the earth turns and the sun can only shine on one side at a time so at night were on the dark side
Does the sun shine on one side of the Earth at a time?
yes, but the earth rotates so that a new piece of the earth faces the sun day in and day out. this is what causes day and night on the planet. (Shine a flashlight on an orange, and turn the orange in your hand.)
Why does the moon have a day and night?
Because it is round, and the Sun can only shine on one side at a time.
Can the sun shine on all continents at once?
No. The Earth is roughly a sphere, so only half the Earth is lit at a time.
What causes it to be day in china and night in america?
Because the sun can only shine on one side of the Earth at a time, and the Earth rotates. Meaning two places that aren't in the same position east-west won't have day and night at the same time.
Why earth has night and day?
Earth has day and nights because the sun can only shine on one part of the Earth at a time, resulting in one half of the Earth in darkness, and one half of the Earth with light. The days and nights last only 12 hours because the Earth rotates around the sun once every 24 hours. Half of the time, the sun will shine an a particular spot on the Earth, the other half of the time, the sun will not shine causing darkness.
Why do we have one day and one night?
Because at night, we need sleep. And in the day time the sun gives out vitamin D, necessary for healthy bones. Because the earth turns and the sun can only shine on one side at a time so at night were on the dark side
How can it be night time one place on Earth and day time in another place at the same time?
Because as the earth turns and the sun does not we get the light from the sun as we turn and face the sun, when we keep turning we also turn away fron the light of the sun and another part of the earth faces the light, that is why when it day here its night in India or the opposite side of the earth.
How does rotation causes day and night?
The sun shines on the Earth while it rotates, but it can't shine on the whole entire planet at the same time, so one side is day the other side is night
Why is daytime in America when in china is nigh time?
China is on the opposite side of the world from the United States and the rest of America. Our solar system has only one sun, which can shine on only one side of Earth at a time. During the northern hemisphere summers, when it's noon in New York it's midnight in China, and when it's midnight in New York it's noon in China.
Why is earths atmosphere warmed un evenly by the sun?
The sun can only shine on part of the earth's surface at any one time. This is why we have day and night in a rolling approach as the earth rotates.
If the sun is shining on half of the earth does the moon shine on the other half?
Not always. The Sun is always shining on half the earth, and when there is a full moon no part of the back side of our moon is shining.The only time that happens is for a split second every 27-28 days when the new moon happens.
