Describe how the position of the sun appears to change over a day?
The position of the sun appears to change over a day as it rises in the east, reaches its highest point at noon, and sets in the west. This apparent motion is due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis.
What is the difference in position of earth and the sun at the summer solstice compared to there position during a winter solstice?
The maximum elevation of the Sun occurs at the summer solstice, and the minimum at the winter solstice. During an equinox, the Sun is directly above Earth's equator. Sorry, but if you are Savannah Schoenherr, DO NOT COPY
Where is the earth in a lunar eclipse?
During a lunar eclipse, the Moon is in Earth's shadow, so the position of Earth, of course, is between the Moon and the Sun.
The length of a day or night varies depending on how far from the equator a place is and the earth's position around the sun True or False?
NO. A day is always 24 hours. However, the time that an area has sunlight or night time does depend on its position on earth.
What is the term of the position when the sun is directly above the earth equator?
The term for the position when the sun is directly above the Earth's equator is called the "equinox." There are two equinoxes each year: the vernal equinox in March and the autumnal equinox in September. During these times, day and night are approximately equal in length across the globe.
Is the moon always visible during the day?
No, the moon is not always visible during the day. Its visibility depends on its position in relation to the sun and Earth.
What is it called when the moon is visible during the day?
When the moon is visible during the day, it is called a "day moon." This occurrence happens because of the moon's position in its orbit around Earth where it can be seen from Earth in daylight hours.
Is the moon always out during the day?
No, the moon is not always out during the day. The moon's visibility during the day depends on its phase and position relative to the sun and Earth. Sometimes the moon is visible during the day, especially in the early morning or late afternoon, but it is not always visible.
How does the sun change its position during the day?
It doesn't ! The sun stays where it is - it's the rotation of the Earth that makes the sun appear to move.
Describe how the position of the sun appears to change over a day?
The position of the sun appears to change over a day as it rises in the east, reaches its highest point at noon, and sets in the west. This apparent motion is due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis.
Why is the moon still visible during the day?
The moon is still visible during the day because of its position in relation to the Earth and the Sun. The moon reflects sunlight, making it visible even when the sun is also in the sky.
Why do the the times of moonrise and moonset change during the month?
The times of moonrise and moonset change during the month because the Moon orbits the Earth, which causes its position relative to the Earth and Sun to shift. This changing position results in variations in the timing of when the Moon rises and sets each day.
What could cause the moon to be visible in the day sky?
The moon can be visible in the day sky because of its position in relation to the sun and Earth, allowing sunlight to reflect off its surface and be visible during the day.
Why is the moon sometimes visible during the daytime?
The moon is sometimes visible during the daytime because its position in its orbit around the Earth causes it to be in the sky at the same time the sun is. Depending on its phase, angle, and position relative to the sun and Earth, the moon can be visible during the day.
Does the earth's rotation speed up during tides?
no it just has to do with the position of the earth and moon
What is the position of the sun moon and earth during a luner eclipse?
the earth is orbiting around the moon and earth
Why does the moon change position in the sky and even appears during the day at times?
The moon orbits the Earth at the same time the Earth is rotating, this means that the moon's daily rise and set times change constantly over a 29 day period.
