What would you see if from your home on the moon if people on earth are viewing a total eclipse?

Answer 1

From the Moon's perspective, if you look at the Earth you'll see that it goes through phases, much like the Moon does from Earth's perspective. So you have full earth's (like a full moon) and half Earth's (half moon) and new Earth's (new moon). Strangely, however, the position of the Earth in the lunar sky would hardly move at all, sort of "wiggling" in space over the course of the lunar day (which is 29.5 days long). I predict that the most expensive Lunar restaurants and apartments will be the ones that have a continual view of the Earth.

You would also see stars all day long in a black sky, as there is no atmosphere to scatter the sun light to give a blue sky. Though the stars would still seem brighter after sun-down, as our eyes would adjust to allow more light in then when the sun is up.

Answer 2

If your referring to "what can be seen on Earth with the naked eye?", then the answer is not the great wall of China. Clouds, continents, ice caps and oceans can all be seen by naked eye from the Moon. See related link for a picture of Earth from the Moon.

Answer 3

If it's a total eclipse of the moon, then

-- If you live on the side of the Moon that faces Earth, then the Earth is always at

the same place in your sky, and right now, the sun is behind it. For a few hours,

you can't see the sun, and you're looking up at a completely dark Earth.

-- If you live on the side of the Moon that faces away from Earth, then you have

never seen the Earth. It's dark where you live, and you have no idea that anything

unusual is happening.

====================================

If it's total eclipse of the sun, then

-- If you live on the side of the Moon that faces Earth, then the Earth is always at

the same place in your sky, and right now, it's dark where you live, you're looking

up at a completely lighted "Full Earth", and if you look carefully, you can see a tiny

black spot racing across the Earth's surface for a few hours.

-- If you live on the side of the Moon that faces away from Earth, then you have

never seen the Earth. It's light where you live, the sun is up in your sky, and you

have no idea that anything unusual is happening.

Answer 4

With the naked eye, (that is, without telescopes or optical devices) you can make out the oceans, the continents, and some of the larger islands.

I do not believe that any man-made features would be noticeable on the day side, but the lights of the major cities should stand out like, well, "beacons" at night.

With a good telescope, and without any atmospheric interference, you ought to be able to see objects down to a few meters in size.

Answer 5

It's white surface, Craters, If you were on the moon you probably find a lot of rocks.

You also would find an American flag still there (hopefully) and also footprints left behind.

Answer 6

The best way to do it is to download "Stellerium" a free astronomical tool that allows you to view the night sky for all planets and some moons.

Answer 7

craters, mountains, earth from the moon, and foot steps.

Answer 8

Answer 9
