In order to see the earth, an astronaut on the moon must first be outside of his
landing vehicle, so that his view of the sky is unobstructed. He must then stand
with his body facing roughly in the direction of the earth in his sky, and then, if
he is able, lean back slightly. Finally, by raising his eyes somewhat, so that his
line of central vision is directed somewhat above the horizontal, he will see the
earth in his sky. The earth will be accompanied in the sky by various other
astronomical objects, including the sun and other stars. It will display some partial
phase of illumination, such as a gibbous or crescent shape, just as the moon does
when viewed from earth. The earth, when viewed from the moon, will appear almost
four times the size of what we see when we look at the moon.
It's not necessary to specify that the astronaut should do his observing when the
sky is clear, since the sky is always clear on the moon.
What else can I help you with?
How the astronauts able to see earth on the moon?
The astronauts on the moon were able to see the earth at all times, though not the same face of earth each time. Unlike on earth, from an observers fixed position, the moon would be in view between moon rise and moon set, only.
If standing on the surface of the moon might see which one what an eclipse of the moon or eclipse of the earth or the moon or an eclipse of the sun or eclipse of the earth or the sun?
If you were standing on the Moon, it would be easy to notice a solar eclipse; the Earth would block out the Sun, all over the Moon, for an hour or so. On the Earth, we would have called it a lunar eclipse. From the Moon, it would be difficult to notice an Earth eclipse; the shadow of the Moon on the Earth, so obvious when you're in the dark at midday, wouldn't be so obvious from 250K miles away; a small dark circle on the Earth.
What is the phase when you see half the moon or earth?
Half-moon Half-Earth
Why people cannot see the moon phase?
Any person on earth can see the phase of the moon by looking for the moon in the night sky. The only reason you would not be able to determine the phase of the moon by observational means would be if the night sky was obscured by clouds.
How do astronauts see the earth from the moon?
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.
Where is the earth when you were able to see a full moon?
Fvgg
How are you able to see the moon phases at night?
you can see the moon because the sun is not hitting the earth war the moon is hitting.
Why are you able to see the moon when it orbits behind the earth?
Because of Earth's Tilt.
'When a full moon occurs if there were people on the moon would they see a 'full' Earth'?
Not necessarily. Think about it... if you can see a full moon in the middle of the night, then someone on the moon would be able to see your part of the earth.... which would be in darkness.
How can you see the moon from earth?
Look up at the sky at night. You should be able to see it
Why cant you see the entire surface of the moon from earth?
because the earth rotaes around so we are not able to see it fully
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.
How the astronauts able to see earth on the moon?
The astronauts on the moon were able to see the earth at all times, though not the same face of earth each time. Unlike on earth, from an observers fixed position, the moon would be in view between moon rise and moon set, only.
Could you see earth if you were standing on the dark side of the moon?
If you look down, you will see the surface of the moon. If you look up, you will be able to see other celestial bodies in the sky, such as Earth, stars, other planets, etc., as long as they are not currently below the horizon of the moon. However, since the moon keeps the same face toward the Earth, if you are not on the side facing Earth, you will not see the Earth at all.
Why are you able to see the moon shining on earth?
The moon shines on Earth because it reflects sunlight. The moon does not produce its own light, so we see it shining because it reflects the sunlight hitting its surface back towards us on Earth. This reflection creates the glowing effect we see from Earth.
If you live inside the earth how would you able to see stars and moon and sun?
i will use the telescope
Could you see the earths light if you were on the moon?
In the same way we see brightness from the Moon as a result of the Sun shining on it, you would see brightness on the Earth from the Moon when the Sun is shining on it. You would not be able to see normal lights, like street lights, from the Moon.
