Question
1. Why is the Moon sometimes visible at night and sometimes during the day?
2. One night you notice a half Moon directly overhead, and you immediately call a friend in New York to look up at her sky in NY:
a. What phase of the Moon will she see?
b. Where in the sky will the Moon be for this friend in New York?
3. What is the phase of the Moon we call the “New Moon?” Why does it occur?
4. If the Moon rises today at 6PM, what time will it rise a week from today? Two weeks from today?
5. It's a Full Moon night and the Moon is directly overhead. Is there enough information to estimate what time it is? If so, about what time is it?
6. It is daylight and you see the half Moon setting in the West. Is it possible to estimate what the time is? If so, about what time is it?
Explanation / Answer
1. here are two reasons for why the Moon can be seen during the daytime. First, there is the Moon’s apparent luminosity, which is due to its proximity to our planet and a combination of other factors. Second, there is the particular nature of the Moon’s orbit around Earth, otherwise known as the Lunar Cycle. Between these two factors, the Moon can become visible to the casual observer during the day.
2. (a).
The phases of the Moon are the same all around the world. Any two places that can see the Moon at the same time will see the same phase.
Each Moon phase happens at a precise point in the Moon's orbit around the Earth, and hence at a precise moment in time. This is the same moment all over the world, but will be a different local time for every time zone in the world.so she see third quater phase of moon.
(b)iin the southern sky direction.
3.new moon is the first phase of the Moon, when it orbits as seen from the Earth, the moment when the Moon and the Sun have the same ecliptical longitude. The Moon is not visible at this time except when it is seen in silhouette during a solar eclipse when it is illuminated by earthshine.
4. The moon will rise 11:50 minute after one week .and the moon visible 1:40 am at night after two weeks ago.
5.full moon nights generally occurs at 12 pm at the niight .in every phase 50 minute added to the new moon night.
6.from the above answer it is to be solved
