If you are in New Jersey and you see the full moon rising, you will also see the Sun either setting or about to set. At that same moment in Alaska, however, it's still early afternoon and the Sun is still high in the sky. The Moon is on the other side of the Earth.
If you wait six hours, until around midnight New Jersey time, then you in Alaska will see the Sun set - and the full Moon rising in the east.
At that point, with the NJ Moon high in the sky and the AK moon just rising, you are seeing the same moon. If you fire a powerful microwave or laser beam at the Moon from AK, your friends in NJ will be able to detect the echo about 2.7 seconds later.
Not noticeably. As the Earth spins, the people in China sees a full moon that is about 1/3 of a day later in the cycle, just as people in Europe see a full moon that is about 1/3 of day EARLIER in the cycle, as compared to people in North America.The point is that you as the average person cannot tell the difference between the Moon when it is exactly "full" compared to the "almost full" or the "just past full" Moons that are 8 hours different.
You can see the moon when it is not full. The sun lights up part of the moon, but if you look carefully when the moon is not full, you can see the darker parts. This is easier when only a small part of the moon appears to be lit, as a brighter moon glares out the darker part making it harder to see.
After the full moon, we see less and less of the sunlit side.
Everywhere in the world experiences the same moon phases at the same time, however those places which are south of the moon's apparent zenith location will see the moon "upside down" to those living north of the moon's zenith position. So the next full moon will be on Saturday 25th May 2013 worldwide (at the time of answering this question).
Both full moon and new moon can be seen at the sunset. But full moon in the east and new moon in the west just after the full sunset.
same one
Nope! We always see the same side of the moon, even if it is a full moon.
california would probly see a full moon to because the sun hits the moon in the same spot everywhere
No, the earth is round, so not everyone can see the moon at the same time. Only when your side of the world is pointed toward the moon can you see it.
The amount of lighted side of the moon you can see is the same during first quarter and third quarter phases. These phases occur when half of the moon's surface is illuminated, and they represent the halfway points between new moon and full moon phases.
If you can see a full moon at your position on Earth, then someone on the exact opposite side of the world will see a new moon. This is because the full moon is when the side of the moon facing Earth is fully illuminated by the sun, so the side facing away from Earth is in shadow.
No, during a full moon, we see the entire lighted side of the moon, whereas during a new moon, the lighted side of the moon is facing away from Earth so we see no lighted side at all.
Full moon is when we see the bright side of the Moon - the side illumined by the Sun. New moon is when we see the Moon's dark side.We always see the same side, it may or may not be illuminated, depending on the position in its orbit relative to the earth and sun
Yes, the same full moon can be seen from anywhere on Earth. The moon appears full to everyone because it is illuminated by the sun from a similar angle, giving it the appearance of being completely lit up.
A full earth is the same as a full moon. It's when you see the entire planet from space lit up by the sun.
The totally and completely full moon is directly opposite the sun, so they can't both be 'up' at the same time.
The moon 'shines' by the light it reflects from the sun. When the moon is on the opposite side of the earth to the sun, sunlight is reflected from the full hemisphere of the moon we can see. this is a full moon.When the moon is on the same side of the sun the sunlight falls on the side we cannot see so no light is reflected to earth and we cannot see the moon even if it is above the horizon. This is a new moon.
