When earth faces away from the sun that side has?
As earth rotates the part that is facing the sun has day light.
Does light travel through a one way mirror?
Yes, light travels through a "one way mirror" but only a small part of the light, most of the light is reflected. In fact light will travel both ways through a "one way mirror"!What makes a "one way mirror" appear to act one way is if the room on one side is brightly lit and the room on the other side is dimly lit, in the brightly lit room the reflected light from the brightly lit room swamps out the small amount of transmitted light from the dimly lit room and the mirror appears to be an ordinary mirror, but in the dimly lit room the transmitted light from the brightly lit room swamps out the small amount of reflected light from the dimly lit room and the mirror appears to be a window.
How do you get the ratio of earth's orbital period about the sun to the earth's period of rotation about its own axis?
The period of the earth's orbit around the sun is one year. The period of earth's orbit about its own axis is one day. If we estimate one year to be about 365 days, we simply get the ratio 365:1 as the ratio of the period of earth's orbit around the sun to that of earth's rotation about its own axis.
How many times does the moon rotate in 27 and a half days?
about once. The moon rotates roughly once in that period, as it completes one orbit about the Earth. This keeps the same side facing the Earth at all times.
Does the far side of the moon receive any light from the moon?
every side of the moon eventually gets sunlight, because the moon revolves around Earth and Earth revolves around the sun. but only half of the moon if ever lit at a time, and the light goes around the moon
Why is one side of the moon always lit?
One side of the moon is always lit because of a phenomenon called "synchronous rotation," where the moon rotates on its axis at the same rate that it orbits the Earth. This causes one side of the moon to constantly face towards Earth while the other side remains in darkness.
What percentage of earth is lit?
There is about 50% of the Earth that is lit at one time. Ray of light fall paralell across the Earths surface, only lighting 50% of the Earth at one time.
How does a one-way mirror work to allow for one side to be reflective and the other side to be transparent?
A one-way mirror, also known as a two-way mirror, works by allowing light to pass through from one side while reflecting light from the other side. This is achieved by having one side of the mirror brightly lit and the other side in a dimly lit or darkened room. The brightly lit side reflects most of the light, making it appear as a mirror to someone on that side. The dimly lit side allows light to pass through, making it transparent to someone on that side.
Why do observers on Earth only ever see the same side of the moon?
Observers on Earth only ever see the same side of the moon because the moon's rotation period is the same as its orbital period around Earth, causing one side to always face towards us.
Why does the same side of the moon always face Earth?
The same side of the moon always faces Earth because of a phenomenon called synchronous rotation. This means that the moon's rotation period is the same as its orbital period around Earth, causing one side to always be facing us.
Why does the same side of the moon always face the Earth?
The same side of the moon always faces the Earth because of a phenomenon called synchronous rotation. This means that the moon's rotation period is the same as its orbital period around the Earth, causing one side to always be facing us.
Why the moon is lit up?
The moon is lit by sunlight just like the earth. Because of it's rotation relative to the earth, only one face of it is visible to people on earth. Thus, the expression, "the dark side of the moon". When the Earth is between the Sun and the moon, it is more or less invisible, since no direct light is striking it. We call this period of a few days a "new moon".
What is it when only one fourth of the moon is visible?
eaither a waxing or waining cresent...if the right side of the moon is lit it is waxing if the left side is lit it is waining
Were the sun go after the midnight?
The sun doesn't go anywhere. It stays at the center of our solar system. However, the sun APPEARS to "go away" because of the rotation of Earth. As Earth rotates, one side of Earth is lit by the Sun, and one side isn't. This is a 24 hour long cycle. So, to answer your question, the Sun APPEARS to go to the other side of Earth, even though this is because it is the Earth that is actually moving, not the Sun.
What why does the sun set?
The Sun appears to set because the Earth rotates, turning one side of the Earth away from the Sun for a period we call "night"
What part of the moon is always lit up by the sun?
The side of the moon facing the sun is always lit up, while the opposite side remains in darkness. This phenomenon is due to the moon's synchronous rotation, which results in one side always facing the sun.
How long is the period of revolution for earth's moon?
The moon doens't rotate (from earth's perspetive). We always see the same side of the moon.
