What else can I help you with?
Are clouds dark at night?
No clouds always appear white. It is only night because the Earth is rotating and the Sun is not shining light on that part of the Earth.
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 is the sun shining?
The sun is always shining. It's been shining for four and a half billion years and will continue to shine for [it is assumed] another seven and a half billion years.
Does not crescent moon face the earth?
The moon is always round, but sometimes it can be covered up by darkness, depending on the suns angle and what the weather is like
Why are the lighter colored halves of the moon and earth always facing the sun?
The lighter colored halves of the moon and earth are always facing the sun because of their positions in relation to the sun. As the moon orbits the earth and the earth orbits the sun, the side that is illuminated by the sun is the side facing the light source. This creates the phases of the moon and day/night cycle on earth.
When does the sun shine on Mars?
The Sun is always shining on Mars just like earth.
Is Saturn always lit up?
Like all planets in our solar system, the planet Saturn is always half illuminated by the sun. The sun is always shining in space (even when it is cloudy on Earth) and the light from the sun is always going to reach Saturn, distant though it is.
Why are the lighter halves of the moon and earth are always facing the sun?
Any part of an object always appears lighter-colored when a flashlight is shining on it.
Are clouds dark at night?
No clouds always appear white. It is only night because the Earth is rotating and the Sun is not shining light on that part of the Earth.
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.
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").
Why is solar and wind energy considered an in exhaustible source of energy?
solar: the sun is always shining. wind: the wind will always blow in someplace as long as earth is turning

Did people always though that the earth moved around the sun?

Why do we have sunsets?
Because we have only one sun in our solar system, because Earth is roughly spherical (like a ball), and because light almost always travels in straight lines (except for a little bit of refraction caused by our atmosphere), the sun is always shining on half of Earth, where it is daytime, while the other half of Earth is in Earth's shadow (nighttime). Since Earth is always rotating on its axis, part of the line between the daytime half and the nighttime half is rotating into Earth's shadow and part of the line is rotating out of Earth's shadow into the sunlight. At the places that are rotating into the sunlight, the sun appears to be rising, and at the places that are rotating into darkness, the sun appears to be setting.
When a region of earth is experiencing darkness or nighttime it is because?
The rotation of the earth enables most part of the earth to experience darkness or nighttime. Earth’s rotation occurs from west to east, which is why the Sun always appears to be rising on the eastern horizon and setting on the western.
When earth is facing the sun?
The Earth ALWAYS faces the Sun. However, the Earth rotates. So one half of the Earth is in sunlight (Day time) and the other half of the Earth is in darkness (night time). We always face the Sun, because we , the Earth, is held there in its orbit about the Sun , because of Sun/Earth gravity.
