Day and night happen because of?
It happens because the Earth rotates. So at any time, half of the Earth is facing the Sun, so it is bright and day time there and the other half is facing away from the Sun so it is dark and night time. As the Earth continues to rotate, parts that were facing the Sun are soon facing away from it and the parts facing away from it are now facing it, so everywhere gets day and night.
Why is the angle of rays of sunlight important in determining the amount of energy collected by the earth?
The angle of the rays of sunlight is important in determining the amount of energy collected by the earth. More direct sunlight means more energy received.
The moon shades the earth during the cold winter and that is what makes it cold?
No. What makes winter cold is the Earths tilt. The Earths "axial tilt" is 23.44 degrees. So, when it is winter, the tilt is away from the sun. when it is summer the tilt is facing the sun. when not facing the sun the tilt makes the days shorter, thus less sunlight and colder.
Why do season changes from year to year?
Because of the earth rotating. When the earth is not facing the sun in a revolution, the it becomes winter because it is colder than the other part of the world facing the sun. The side of the earth that is facing the sun has either spring or summer because it is warm.
What is responsible for earth's season?
The earth rotating on its axis. When the northern hemisphere is facing the sun it is summer. In the southern it is winter.
When the entire side of the moon facing the earth is bathed in the sunlight the moon is?
In alignment with the earth and sun.
When the entire side of the moon facing the Earth is bathed in sunlight the moon is said to be a?
That's a "Full Moon".
How nighttime and daytime relates with the sun?
because when the sun is facing one side of the Earth it is daytime when there is no sunlight facing the other half of the Earth it is nighttime.
How can the moon be bathed in sunlight at night?
The moon is illuminated by the sun's light even during the night because it reflects sunlight. The moon does not produce its own light, so its appearance changes depending on its position relative to the sun and Earth.
A full moon happens when?
When the side of the moon that faces Earth (the same side of the moon always faces Earth) is fully bathed in sunlight. The Moon experiences day and night cycles, but it takes 28 days for the moon to complete a day/night cycle because of the Moon's relatively slow spin (which is what keeps the same side of the Moon facing Earth).
When does full moon happens?
When the side of the moon that faces Earth (the same side of the moon always faces Earth) is fully bathed in sunlight. The Moon experiences day and night cycles, but it takes 28 days for the moon to complete a day/night cycle because of the Moon's relatively slow spin (which is what keeps the same side of the Moon facing Earth).
What is the phrase when you see the entire side of the moon facing the earth?
The side of the moon we see is properly called the "near side" as we always see this face. The other side, facing away from the earth, is the "far side". As different regions of the moon see sunlight as it orbits the earth, it is usually incorrect to call any side the "dark side"
How are full moons made?
A full moon occurs when the moon is at an angle which allows the entire area facing the observer to reflect sunlight. All other phases occur because the earth is casting a shadow on the moon.
Phase when the lighted side of the moon is facing the sun and the dark side faces the earth?
The lighted half of the moon is always facing the sun. The entire dark half of the moon is facing earth at the time of "New Moon".
What is it called when the side of the moon facing earth receives no sun light?
When the side of the moon facing the earth receives no sunlight it is called a new moon
Is sunlight always shining on half of Earth?
Sunlight is always shining on one half of the Earth as the planet rotates on its axis, causing day and night. This rotation creates a cycle of 24 hours with half of the globe facing the sun ("day side") and the other half facing away from it ("night side").
When sunlight shines on the moon and people on earth are able to see an entire face of the moon it is called a?
That would be a full moon.
