Because the moon is in orbit around the earth and the sun is shining on a certain point of the moon. We can see the changes from our perspective. This is similar to a shadow. Sometimes we can only see a sliver of the moon because the sun is almost directly facing the moon and we can't see that side.
No the moon is a piece of the earth that broke off when another planet collided with earth and stayed in orbit with the planet. The moons light is a reflection of the suns light. Stars are gigantic balls of gas that are burning up million, billion light years awhile.
Sun, Earth, Moon. The moon is covered by the Earth's shadow.
When the sunlight falls on the surface of the moon, then moon reflect that light towards the surroundings and then this reflected light falls on our eyes and the we say moon is lightning.
The reflection of the light from the sun only hits a certain part of the moon, the unlit portion is nearly invisible from earth. The moon is always 50% illuminated. Our position keeps changing, and so does the portion of the lit-up half that we can see from where we are.
It is a reflection of the sun.
Terrains of the moon
About 1.255 seconds.
Not really it is just a reflection from the sun.
only from earth because of the sun's reflection
The rising and setting of the Sun, the Moon, and the stars is simply a reflection of the rotation of planet Earth.The rising and setting of the Sun, the Moon, and the stars is simply a reflection of the rotation of planet Earth.The rising and setting of the Sun, the Moon, and the stars is simply a reflection of the rotation of planet Earth.The rising and setting of the Sun, the Moon, and the stars is simply a reflection of the rotation of planet Earth.
the moon's light is mearly a reflection from the sun, kinda like a mirror.
from the sun on the other side of the earth it is a reflection!!!
As the moon rotates around the earth the sun reflects off of the moon at different angles(as it may be blocked by the earth). The moon's glow, remember, is only a reflection of the sun's shine.
It is the reflection of the sun's light on the moon that makes it visible to us here on Earth.
the new moon cannot be seen from earth because there is no sunlight hitting the moon so there is no reflection to see in the sky
because of total internal reflection of light on the earth's atmosphere
