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
Full moon. Earth spins much faster than the moon moves so we all see a full moon as Earth turns us to see it.
Yes.
All of the Moon's lighted side is visible during the full moon.
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.
No
During a full moon, the entire face of the moon is illuminated by the sun, appearing as a complete circle in the sky. It is the brightest and largest phase of the moon that can be seen from Earth.
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
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.
