The Earth rotates around it's own axis every 24 hours.
The side of the Earth which faces the Sun is considered day.
The moon roughly revolves around the Earth every 28 days.
The moon does not produce any light itself.
When you see the moon you are seeing light which is reflected
off the moon's surface.
The amount of light reflected depends on the angle the moon
makes between the Earth and the Sun.
These cause the phases of the moon.
For example, when the Earth is between the moon and the Sun,
a full moon is seen only at night. Because the side of the moon
which reflects the sunlight is facing the part of the Earth that is
facing away from the Sun. You can only see a full moon at night.
When the moon is between the Earth and the Sun, the side of
the moon which is reflecting the sunlight is pointed away from
the Earth, so you can't see the light. This is a new moon.
Between these two extremes are the other phases,
crescents, quarters, gibbons. Each representing more and more
of the surface of the moon which is reflecting the sunlight.
During these phases, portions of the Earth can see the reflected
sunlight off the moon while that portion also faces the sun.
Hence you see the moon during the day.
If you see the moon rising after the sunrise the moon is going
from new moon to full moon. Each morning you will see more
and more of the moon, and the moon will rise later and later.
Until the moon only rises after the sunsets, which would be a full moon.
Similarly, if the moon is east of the sun, the moon is going from new moon to full moon.
If you see the moon setting before the sunset, the moon is going from full moon to a new moon. Each evening you will see less and less of the moon until the moon disappears which would be a new moon.
Similarly, if the moon is west of the sun the moon is going from full moon to new moon.
What else can I help you with?
When the moon appears to be getting larger each day you say it is what?
When the moon appears to be getting larger each day, it is said to be waxing. This phase occurs as the amount of illuminated surface visible from Earth increases, creating the appearance of a growing moon.
When the moon appears completely dark it is called?
When the moon appears completely dark it is called a new moon.
What is it said to be when the moon appears to be decreasing in size?
When the moon appears to be decreasing in size, it is called waning. When the moon appears to be increasing in size, it is called waxing.
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.
Why does the moon look full for more than one day?
The moon appears full for more than one day because the term "full moon" refers to the moment when the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned in a straight line, with the sun illuminating the entire side of the moon facing Earth. The moon takes about 29.5 days to complete one orbit around Earth, so it appears full for more than a day as it continues its orbit.
What is the same in a moon and a sun?
The moon is white and the sun is orange/red. The moon appears at night and the sun appears at day. YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS
When does moon appear?
The moon appears as day goes downa and the night starts up.
When the moon appears to be getting larger each day you say it is what?
When the moon appears to be getting larger each day, it is said to be waxing. This phase occurs as the amount of illuminated surface visible from Earth increases, creating the appearance of a growing moon.
What is the meaning new moon?
Every lunar month when the moon appears as a crescent on the first day, to eventually become a full moon, that crescent, that thin almost invisible first day of the moon is called a "new moon".
What time of day does the full moon appear?
I think it usually appears just after or about sunset.
When the moon appears completely dark it is called?
When the moon appears completely dark it is called a new moon.
What is it said to be when the moon appears to be decreasing in size?
When the moon appears to be decreasing in size, it is called waning. When the moon appears to be increasing in size, it is called waxing.
How far does the Moon appear to move in the sky per day?
The moon appears in different places on successive nights because the Moon orbits around the Earth once every 27.3 days. Each night it appears about 13 degrees further east among the background stars than the previous night.
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 happens on the first day of fall with the sun?
a harvest moon appears that night but nothing happens to the sun.
Why does the moon look full for more than one day?
The moon appears full for more than one day because the term "full moon" refers to the moment when the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned in a straight line, with the sun illuminating the entire side of the moon facing Earth.
