What kind of moon can people expect to see during a lunar eclipse when Earth is between the moon and the sun?
During a lunar eclipse when Earth is between the moon and the sun, people can expect to see a "blood moon." This is because the Earth's atmosphere scatters sunlight, allowing only red light to reach the moon, giving it a reddish hue.
Is the moons gravity one sixth of earth?
As good as. If you weigh 100 lbs on earth, you would weigh 16.54 lbs on the moon. One sixth of 100 equals 16.6666.... Close enough.
How does the gravity of the moon compare to the gravity of earth?
An object on the moon's surface weighs 0.165 as much as it does on the Earth's surface.
Why does the moon have no gravity?
It does. Who told you it doesn't? All objects that have mass have gravity. The more mass they have, the more gravity they have. For small objects, the gravity is so weak as to be almost indetectable, even with extremely sensitive instruments. However, the moon's gravity is certainly strong enough to be not merely detectable but to actually physically feel. The moon's mass is about 1/80th that of Earth, but its radius is also quite a bit less; the combination of the two yields a lunar surface gravity of about 1/6 that of Earth.
Why are you more likely to see a lunar eclipse than a solar eclipse?
You are more likely to see a lunar eclipse than a solar eclipse because a lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon, which can be seen from anywhere on the night side of the Earth. In contrast, a solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, casting a shadow on the Earth, but this shadow is much smaller and can only be seen from a specific region on Earth.
When The moon is fully visible to observers on Earth?
When the moon is fully visible to observers on Earth, it is said to be at its full moon phase. This occurs when the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned in a straight line, with the Earth in between the sun and moon. The full moon appears as a complete circle and is the brightest phase of the moon.
Why do you sometimes see the moon?
The moon can only be seen because it "borrows" the light from the sun. When the moon orbits the Earth the sunlit side of the moon changes - causing the moon to look like it changes shape. Many casual observers often believe that the moon's phases are caused by the Earth blocking the sun's light - this is not true, as the moon only passes through Earth's shadow occasionally.
Why can only some of the moon be seen at one time?
Half of the moon is always lit up by the sun at any given time, and the moon orbits the Earth so us observers on Earth will see different amounts of the moon lit up. These different "shapes" we see are called the phases of the moon.
Has a person ever gone to mercury?
No. Humans have only been on Earth and the Moon.
Did Apollo 7 ever land on the moon?
No. This was a test mission and never intended for a trip to the moon. They only orbited the earth.
What phase of the moon must be in to have a lunar eclipse?
For a lunar eclipse, the moon must be at the full moon phase. The earth will be between the moon and the sun, observers on earth will see the shadow of the earth move ac-cross the moon. With the earth in the middle of the three bodies, observers on earth will see maximum sunlight reflection off the surface of the moon at that point. We don't see eclipses every time, as the alignments and orbits are not exactly uniform.
Can you have a full moon in both hemispheres on the same day?
Yes, when the moon is full, it is full everywhere that day. Only one side of the earth is turned toward the moon at any given time, meaning that only one side can see the moon until the earth turns.
Has a man ever been on a planet?
no, because the moon isn't a planet, and earth is the only one.
Where is the moon in its orbit when a solar eclipse occurs?
A solar eclipse is where the moon obscures the sun from observers on earth, the moon is between the earth and the sun, blocking the sun out to us on earth. The moon is in a new moon phase at this point, we cant see it before or after the eclipse, as the sunlight reflecting back off its surface is on the other side to us.
Why can you only see solar eclipses at certain places on earth?
When the moon gets between the sun and the earth the Moon which is 1/400 the diameter of the Sun and also 1/400 the distance to the sun blocks sunlight. The size of the moon just happens to be the right size to cast a shadow onto the surface of the Earth. Actually the small differences in the distance from the surface of the earth to the moon make it so that sometimes when the moon is exactly in line with the Sun observers on the Earth can see a ring of sun all around the moon (anannular eclipse) and sometimes the moon is close enough for the shadow to totally block the Sun but just for a small area on Earth at absolute most a few hundred kilometers wide.
How many moon does our earth have?
Our Earth has only the one moon.
What is the 8th person to walk on Pluto?
Nobody has ever been to Pluto. The only body that astronauts have walked onbesides Earth is the moon. The closest to Earth that Pluto can ever get is morethan 11 thousand times farther than the moon.
