The position of the sun and moon in the sky is due to the Earth's rotation on its axis and its orbit around the sun. This natural phenomenon leads to different celestial bodies being visible from different locations on Earth at any given time. It just so happens that the sun is currently visible in America and the moon is visible in Afghanistan due to their positions in the sky.
The sun shines on all sides of the moon- at different times. If you mean does the sun shine on the farside of the moon- away from the earth- yes. When we have a new moon (dark) the sun is shining on the other side. However, when the sun is shining, it is not the darkside- it is light at that moment.
The Sun is at a mean distance of about 150 million kilometers from Earth. The Moon is at a mean distance of 380,000 kilometers from Earth. The direction at which you find them vary over time.
In a solar eclipse, the moon is inbetween the sun and the Earth. This means that the moon casts a shadow on the Earth and block the sun's rays. If the moon is directly in front of the sun, the umbra (darkest part of the shadow) is on the Earth. Otherwise, we will only see the penumbra (where the moon only covers a part of the sun).A solar eclipse is where the earth is inbetween the sun and the moon. This can mean that the moon can disappear from the sky for some time (or the sun will be covered if you are standing on the moon!).
True. The Sun is much closer to Earth than the Moon. The average distance from the Earth to the Sun is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers), whereas the average distance from the Earth to the Moon is about 238,855 miles (384,400 kilometers).
well... if you mean that the moon is closer to the sun than the earth, then yes.
The meaning to a celestial tattoo is the way of life! There are some people that no matter what they always keep going. They always keep reaching for the stars and don't let naybody or anything get in the way. I have a celestial tattoo on my back. It is the sun and in the middle of the sun I have a star and on the side is the moon. This tattoo means a lot to me. It has meaning for my three kids that I have. And it also represents me leaving a domestic violence relationship I was in for many years. I feel that my kids were the only reason for my living and that's who I live for. I reached for the sun,moon and the stars and I have accomplished it.
It probably doesn't mean anything. The tattoo probably just looked cool.
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.

a sun tattoo can mean the quintesential giver of life or can also symbalize god in some religions. i have one on my left arm.
The Moon is female and the Sun is male. So them being together could signify harmony. Alot of people just like those symbols and get them tattooed for no hidden meaning other than they like it.
It means that only part of the Moon is illuminated by the Sun.
It means that the sun is shinning on the part of the moon that is facing us.

Usually one too two penny's. But depending on where the moon is in accordance too the sun sometimes dimes
