From the surface of the Moon, the Earth appears substantially larger than the full moon does from Earth. This would be expected since the Earth's diameter is 4 times that of the Moon. Also, the Earth is always in the lunar sky for the one-half of the Moon that faces Earth, and is never visible from the opposite side. It would always appear to be in almost exactly the same place. It only appears to "rise and set" along a small strip between the two faces of the Moon.
The brightness would vary with the phases, which would be exactly the opposite of the concurrent phase of the Moon: when the Moon is Full, the Earth is new, and vice versa. However, the Earth would be outshone by the Sun for the 14 days of lunar "daylight" in which the Sun and Earth are both always in the sky. This would make the Earth nearly invisible when it was close to the Sun.
The lighted side of the Moon seen from Earth is the same during a full moon. At this phase, the Earth is positioned between the Sun and the Moon, allowing us to see the entire illuminated portion of the Moon's surface. This alignment results in the Moon appearing fully round and bright in the night sky.
Astronauts see the Earth from the Moon as a bright, colorful sphere in the distance. The Earth appears much larger than the Moon does from Earth and cannot be seen as a flat disc. The view offers a unique perspective of our planet hanging in the vastness of space.
Since Earth has about 4 times the diameter of the Moon, the angular diameter of Earth, as seen from the Moon, is about 4 times larger than the angular diameter of the Moon, as seen from Earth. Since the Moon's angular diameter as seen from here is about half a degree, that would make Earth's angular diameter about 2 degrees.If you wish, you can look up more exact figures and do more precise calculations, but it is hardly worth the trouble, since there is some variation in the distance from Earth to Moon anyway.
The moon phases that change the appearance of the moon as seen from Earth are caused by the relative positions of the sun, Earth, and moon. The major phases include new moon, first quarter, full moon, and third quarter, with each phase showing a different amount of illuminated surface to Earth.
There's only one difference between the sky seen from the Earth and the sky seen from the moon. The sky seen from the Earth has a moon in it, and the sky seen from the moon has an Earth in it. Other than that, exactly the same objects in the same patterns are seen from both places.
The Moon Is Seen At Night From Earth because, When The Sky Is Dark, So Is The Atmosphere, And The Moon Is Very Bright Compared To The Black Atmosphere, Same Reason The Earth Is Seen From The Moon. :)
That is sometimes what the Moon is called. Seen from Venus the Earth and Moon would be seen as a pair of bright planets up to 0.5 degrees apart at opposition, which is the diameter of the Moon as seen from Earth.
Yes, the full moon appears as a big bright circle in the night sky. It is the phase of the moon when it is completely illuminated by the sun as seen from Earth, giving it a round appearance.
From the moon, the Earth appears as a bright, colorful sphere in the dark sky, with swirling clouds and vast oceans visible on its surface. The continents and landmasses can also be seen, giving a unique perspective of our planet from afar.
The moon is seen from the Earth...
The moon is about 250,000 miles from the earth. When the moon is viewed from earth, the image seen is only about one second in the past.

The moon's phases can be seen from the earth, but not by an observer on the moon. Similarly, the earth's phases can be seen from the moon, but not by an observer on the earth.
Only our moon ("The Moon") can be seen from Earth.
When it's close enough to earth, Venus is bright enough to be seen in the daylight sky.But you REALLY have to know exactly where to look for it.You can't just scan around and fall on it, as you can with the moon at night.
Looking directly at the sun can harm your eyes. The moon is not bright enough to do so. It has no light of its own, it can only be seen because of the sun shining on it making it bright enough to see.
