That's what always happens when a flashlight shines on a ball,
unless there is something in the way.
Yes, half of the moon is always lit because it faces the sun.
The Sun will always be bigger than the moon so the answer is the sun is bigger.
Because the Moon is spherical, or nearly so, and light from the Sun shines out in all directions.
The side that faces away from the flashlight or the sun is always the dark side.
It always moves it orbits the Earth which orbits the sun.
50%
50% of the sun is always shining on every body in the solar system.
The amount of the moon that is always lit except during a lunar eclipse is about half. This is because half of the moon is always illuminated by the sun due to the moon's orbit around the Earth.
The moon is ALWAYS 50% (+/-) illuminated. Though we only see all of the half lit side when the moon is opposite the sun (Full Moon).
Approximately half of the moon is illuminated by the sun at any given time, which corresponds to 50%. This is because the moon goes through phases as it orbits the Earth, with the amount of sunlight it reflects varying depending on its position relative to the Earth and the sun.
Half (50 percent) of the moon is illuminated by the sun at all times, just as half of earth is always illuminated.The thing that changes is: How much of the moon's illuminated half can we see from earth ?
The moon is closer to the sun. Since the moon orbits Earth, it is always about the same distance from the sun as Earth is.
thirty seven percent
Since the sun illuminates the moon, no moon phases can be seen from the sun, all moons and planets always are 'full'.
Roughly half of the moon is lit by the sun at all times. The moon revolves around the earth so we only see the part of the moon that actually faces the sun, which is how the moon has phases.
I don't know what you mean, the Sun always "hits the Earth directly". A full moon happens when the Moon is opposite to the Sun in the sky.
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.
