The moon is visible to observers on earth because of?
The moon is visible to us because it reflects the sun's light.
Why can you see clouds at night?
When the sun gives off light, the light is reflected off the surface of the planets and the moon, the color of the planet depends on which colors it absorbs and gives off, like the moon absorbs all colors except that greyish color, the grayish color is reflected back into space and when the light gets to earth, we see the color, and see the moon. This is the same for all planets and such. We can see planets during the day, they don't just disapear, but they are faint against the luminosity of the sun
Does the sun hide behind the moon at night?
The moon rotates at the same rate it orbits us meaning that we always see the same side of the moon. Also, at any point in time the moon will be half light and half dark. Hints the name dark side of the moon, but don't think that dark side of the moon never sees light because when we have a new moon (causing a self- shadow) the side of the moon we observe is dark and the opposite side is lit up by the sun. The reason why the moon's phase changes is because portions of shadow and light due to the angle at which we observe the moon changes as it rotates around the earth.
What causes a new moon?
A new moon occurs when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, with the side of the moon illuminated by the Sun facing away from Earth. This alignment causes the side of the moon we see from Earth to be in shadow, making it appear as if there is no visible moon in the night sky.
Does the moon revolve because of gravitational forces?
Yes, the moon revolves about (orbits) the earth because of gravitational forces. However it also rotates (turns/spins) about its axis of rotation - this movement involves gravitational forces as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gravity is involved in both the revolution and the rotation of the moon. For more on the rotation (spin) of the moon, see the link below.
When there is a full moon why is it easier to see outside at night?
Because You Can See More Of The Moon.
Why do you see the Moon most clearly at night?
Because night is dark and the moon is brightly and shiny
How are you able to see the moon phases at night?
you can see the moon because the sun is not hitting the earth war the moon is hitting.
Do the author of an American childhood see the moon t in her bedroom every night?
No. It would be impossible to see the moon every night from her bedroom window. That's because the Moon moves every night.
When the moon is visible at night why can you see it?
because the moon reflects the light coming from the sun
Why you are able to see the moon light at night?
because it reflects
Why can you see the full moon only at night?
Because this is how the moon cycle works: MOON---EARTH---SUN=full moon EARTH---MOON---SUN=new moon. So, when you see the moon during the daytime, it's because its orbit is interfering with the Sun's. But during a full moon, when the moon is behind the Earth, it cannot interfere. See?
Why do you see moon?
We can see the moon because it reflects sunlight to Earth.
Why can you see the moon at night?
You can see the moon at night because it reflects light from the sun. Even though the sun has set and it is dark on Earth, the moon's surface still reflects enough sunlight to be visible in the night sky.
Why cant you see the moon as well in the day as you can at night?
because of the sun
Why does everyone see one side of the moon every night?
because the moon orbits around earth
What determines the portion of the moon that you see at night?
