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 phases do you see when the moon is at a right angle to side the earth and sun?
full moon
Why do planets have phases similar to lunar phases?
The planet Venus has phases similar to the moon's phases because of its orbit around the sun, inside the orbit of the Earth. Because of its particular orbit, an observer from the earth is?æable to see various phases.
What causes the lunar phases that we see from earth?
The lunar phases are caused by the relative positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun. As the Moon orbits Earth, different portions of its illuminated half become visible from our perspective, leading to the phases we observe. These phases range from new moon, when the Moon is between the Earth and Sun, to full moon, when the Earth is between the Moon and Sun, with various crescent and gibbous stages in between.
On a clear night when an observer in Los Angeles sees a first quarter Moon an observer in London would see?
That person in London would see a new moon.
How the moon would appear to an observer in space during its revolution. Would phases be observable?
Yes. Unless the observer was on the back side of the moon, or on the opposite side of the earth from the moon, he/she could see the same phases that we see here on earth.
Why would an observer on the Earth see a complete cycle of the phases of the moon in approximately one month?
An observer on Earth sees a complete cycle of the phases of the moon in approximately one month because the moon takes about 29.5 days to orbit Earth. As the moon orbits, its position relative to the Earth and the Sun changes, causing the amount of sunlight reflected off its surface to vary, creating the different phases of the moon that we see from Earth.
How would the Moon appear to an observer in space during its revolution Would phases be observable Explain?
During the Moon's revolution, an observer in space would see the moon, but would not be able to see it spin around. From far to the north, about the solar system, the moon would appear to make a squiggly
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.
Can you see the moon phases in space?
The phases of the moon are caused by the relative positions of the sun, the moon and the observer. It is possible to see phases of the moon in space depending on your position relative to the sun and the moon.
Why does the Moon's surface is visible to an observer on earth?
The Moon's surface is visible to an observer on Earth because sunlight reflects off the Moon's surface towards Earth. The amount of sunlight reflected depends on the Moon's position in its orbit, creating the different phases we see from Earth.
What changes of the moon do you see from Earth?
The phases of the moon as it orbits the earth
Does everyone on earth see the same phase of the moon on any given day?
No, people in different locations on Earth see different phases of the moon on any given day. This is due to the relative positions of the Earth, moon, and sun causing the moon's appearance to vary depending on the observer's viewpoint.
What are the various phases of the Earth?
The apparent 'phases' of the earth depend entirely on where the observer is located. If the observer is standing on the moon and looking at the earth, he will see the earth go through exactly the same phases as we see the moon go through ... but they will be COMPLEMENTARY. At any moment of the month, the shape of the ILLUMINATED portion of the moon ... seen from earth ... is exactly the same as the DARK portion of the earth as seen from the moon. Combine the illuminated moon phase of the earth-bound observer with the illuminated earth phase of the moon-based observer, and they always add up exactly to one full illuminated disk.
The phases of the moon depend on how much of the lighted side of the moon can be seen from earth?
From earth we see the same side of the moon but depending on the position of the moon, earth, sun we see different portions of the moon- these are known as the phases of the moon.
Why we see the different phases of the moon from earth?
The phases are caused by the angle that the sunlight strikes the moon.
To an observer on the moon able to see earth how long would one full cycle of earth phases be?
It would be about 29.5 earth days. Or, precisely the same length of time as a full cycle of moon phases.
