What fraction of the moon is lit?
Half of the moon is always lit. Due to it's position in relation to the sun and the earth, we see a different moon every night.
What causes the stars in the sky to appear to be moving?
The Earth's rotation. The relation between the Earth (or a person on the Earth) and the position of the stars makes it appear that the stars are in a different position as the night progresses.
Is the size of a rainbow any relation to the size of the earth?
No, the size of a rainbow is not related to the size of the Earth. The size of a rainbow is determined by the angle of light refraction and the position of the observer relative to the arc of the rainbow, not the size of the Earth.
Is it possible that the moon will turn it's crescent shape upside down?
No, the moon's crescent shape is determined by the angle of sunlight hitting its surface as it orbits Earth. This means it will always maintain a consistent orientation based on its position in relation to the Sun and Earth.
Why does the position of stars seem to change as seasons change?
The earth is rotating around the sun. Therefore the position of other stars (although millions of light years away) are in different orientation to that of the earth.
How far away is Venis from Earth?
About 25 million miles away from earth.
The phase of the moon depends on?
The phase of the moon depends on its position relative to the Earth and the Sun. As the moon orbits the Earth, its position changes and different amounts of sunlight reflect off its surface, creating the different phases we see from Earth.
What causes the moon to appear as though it is going through phases?
Its position in relation to the Earth and the Sun.
What fraction of the moon is lit?
Half of the moon is always lit. Due to it's position in relation to the sun and the earth, we see a different moon every night.
What 2 factors cause the moon to have phases Please inform me of what these are.?
The moon has many different phases that it goes through multiple times throughout the year. The two factors that cause these phases are its position in relation to the Earth's shadow. The second one is the position of the sun in relation to the moon.
Why do the sun rays strike the earth's surface at different angles?
The angle at which the sun's rays strike the Earth's surface varies depending on the Earth's rotation and its position in relation to the sun. This angle changes throughout the day as the Earth rotates on its axis and as the Earth orbits around the sun, causing different parts of the Earth to receive sunlight at different angles.
Why does the moon appear as a different shape in the sky on different nights?
The moon appears as a different shape in the sky on different nights because of its position in relation to the Earth and the Sun. As the moon orbits the Earth, the amount of sunlight that reflects off its surface changes, causing different portions of the moon to be visible from Earth. This creates the different shapes, or phases, of the moon that we see in the sky.
How can i describe earth's size and position in relation to the other planets?
size:9th posistion:3rd
What causes the stars in the sky to appear to be moving?
The Earth's rotation. The relation between the Earth (or a person on the Earth) and the position of the stars makes it appear that the stars are in a different position as the night progresses.
Why the sun rises in the morning?
The sun rises because of the position of the earth in relation to the sun. One complete revolution of the earth happens every 24 hours. While the earth is turning it seems that the sun is in a different spot in the sky, but the sun is stable and the earth is spinning.
What do you call the moon when it is not visible on earth?
The moon is called a new moon when it is not visible on Earth due to its position in relation to the Sun.
Dose venis exist on this planet?
Venus does not exist on Earth, it is a separate planet, which occupies an orbit closer to the Sun than Earth.
