What causes the earth to have periods of light and darkness?
The rotation. When the earth rotates, sides of it don't see the sun. Which are like sunsets and sunrises. The earth is rotating which takes away light and gives light.
How does the level of solar radiation arriving upon different parts of the earth's surface affect the biome located there?
because the suns light is warm and causes animals to live
What causes day and light?
the rotation causes day and light
What phenomenon causes rainbow?
The refraction of light through water. Basically light travels through a surface such as water and the different light spectrums get broken down giving you the colors you see.
Why is weather different in different places?
because of the sun since every place get different amount of heat and light from the sun and also because the earth is rotating
Do phases of the moon have anything to do with Earth's shadow falling on the moon?
No, the phases of the moon are caused by the sun's light hitting the moon at different angles when viewed from Earth. The Earth's shadow is what causes a lunar eclipse.
Is the phase if the moon different places on earth?
Yes, this is because people at different geological points on earth see different angles of the illuminated light of the moon. Therefor they see a different phase at different times.
What causes the different parts of the moon to appear lighted?
light from the sun that is not blocked by the earth
Why do colors combined make white?
That is not true. If you are talking about all the colours of light in the spectrum coming from white light that is true. When white light passes through a glass prism, it causes the light to split into different colours because of the different angles at which they refract.
Why does the moon look different to us on the earth?
The moon is constantly orbiting the Earth and the moon gets it's light from the sun, observers (us) on Earth see sunlight hitting the moon at different angles - thus creating the lunar phases.
What causes phase chge to happen?
when the moon revolves around the earth the sun reflects his light to the moon which is shown to the earth in different phases as it revolves.
Why shadow size change?
different angles of light
Why do you see different shaped moons?
cuz The moon's apparent "shape" changes because as it orbits the Earth, the light from the sun hits it at different angles causing observers on Earth to see "different shaped moons". The moon really is always a sphere.
Why do moon phases occur?
The moon reflects the light of the sun.As the moon revolves around the earth its relative position between the earth and the sun changes, so light is reflected from different portions of the moon. This is what causes the phases.
Why do shadows move throughout the day?
As Earth turns around its poles, the sun light falls on the objects under different angles causing shadows to move respectivelly.
What are the different shapes of the moon you see from the earth called?
Moon phases. As the moon revolves around the earth on its tilted path, (search for diagrams to find out what happens with it tilted) the light from the sun hits the moon and reflects towards earth. But we see a different amount of light and darkness depending on where it is in the orbit. This causes us to see different shapes.
