What else can I help you with?
As the moon moves around the earth what does an observer on earth see?
He sees the phases of the moon. A varying amount of the sunlit surface is visible as the moon goes through its phases, having increased or decreased illumination with a curved boundary.
What moon phase changes the appearance of the moon as seen from earth?
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.
Do The phases of the moon depend on how much of the lighted side of the moon can be seen from Earth?
Yes. There is always (except during certain eclipses) half of the moon illuminated. However, there is no 'dark side of the moon' per se. The same part of the moon is always facing the earth, but the part that is lighted changes by the minute, just as it does on Earth.
Moon phase in which none of the lighted surface of the Moon can be seen from Earth is called what?
New Moon, aka: First stage. These are the phases: 1.) New Moon 2.) Waxing Crescent 3.) First Quarter 4.) Waxing Gibbous 5.) Full Moon 6.) Wanning Gibbous 7.) Third Quarter 8.) Wanning Crescent I hope this is more than enough help! :)
When are two phases at equilibrium?
Two phases are at equilibrium when the rate of their interconversion is equal in both directions. This means that the amount of substance transitioning from one phase to another is the same in both directions, resulting in a stable balance between the phases.
What is this called during these moon phases the amount of the lighted side that can be seen begins to increase?
The phase you are referring to is called "waxing," where the amount of the lighted side of the moon that can be seen increases as the moon moves from new moon to full moon.
The amount of lighted side of the moon you can see is the same during?
The amount of lighted side of the moon you can see is the same during first quarter and third quarter phases. These phases occur when half of the moon's surface is illuminated, and they represent the halfway points between new moon and full moon phases.
Does the phases of the moon depend on the lighted side?
yes the phases do depend on the lighted side.
The amount of the lighted side of the moon you can see is the same during?
The amount of the lighted side of the moon you can see is the same during the first quarter and the last quarter phases. In both phases, half of the moon's illuminated side is visible from Earth.
What can you say about the amount of lighted area from phases of the moon 1 to 5?
New Moon, Waxing Crescent Moon, First Quarter Moon, Waxing Gibbous Moon, Full Moon.
What causes the different parts of the moon to appear lighted?
The different parts of the moon appear lighted because of sunlight reflecting off its surface. As the moon orbits Earth, the angle of sunlight hitting its surface changes, causing different parts to be lit or in shadow. This results in the different phases of the moon as seen from Earth.
Why do you see different amount of the Moon's surface during each of these phases?
because the moon always moves
True-false the phases of the moon depend on how much of the lighted side of the moon can be seen from earth?
True. The phases of the moon are determined by how much of the lighted side of the moon is visible from Earth as the moon orbits around it. This is why we see different phases like new moon, full moon, crescent, and gibbous.
Which two phases could the moon be in if you see half of the lighted portion of the moon?
First Quarter or Third Quarter.
Half the lighted side of the moon is visible?
That's true at the moments of First Quarter and Third Quarter phases.
During what moon phases can three-quarters of the lighted side can be seen?
Three-quarters of the illuminated surface can be seen during both the waxing gibbous and waning gibbous periods, about 4 days before and 4 days after the full moon.
What phenomenon is caused when a person on earth cannot see all of the fully lighted side of the moon?
This is what causes the so-called "phases" of the moon: although fully half of the moon is lighted, we can only see part of the lighted part. A person on earth hardly ever sees all of the lighted side of the moon. When he does, he calls the sight a "full moon."
