Why is the sun in America and the m00n is in Afghanistan?
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.
Does the sun hit the dark side of the moon?
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.
Where is the sun and the moon?
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.
What is the difference between the sun and the moon during an eclipse?
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!).
The Sun is closer to the Earth than the Moon is true or false?
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).
