Question

If you were an Astronaut in the middle of the near side of the moon during a full moon, how would the ground around you look? How would the earth high in the sky look? Describe what is in sunlight and what is in darkness

Answer 1

As an astronaut on the near side of the Moon during a full moon, the ground would be brightly illuminated and flat in appearance. The Earth would be visible as a full Earth but not as bright due to earthshine. During a lunar eclipse, the Moon's surface would darken as Earth blocks sunlight.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you were an astronaut standing in the middle of the near side of the Moon during a full moon, the ground around you would be brightly illuminated. This is because, during a full moon, the Sun is shining directly on the near side of the Moon, where the astronaut is standing. The lunar landscape would appear somewhat flat and featureless due to the direct sunlight causing very few shadows, which diminishes topographic details.

For the Earth seen from the Moon during this time, it would appear as a full Earth hovering in the lunar sky. However, since the astronaut is on the side of the Moon that is receiving full sunlight, the Earth would not be as brilliantly illuminated. You may see some reflected light, known as earthshine, which would allow faint details of the 'dark side' of the Moon to be visible, contrasting with the bright lunar landscape.

During a lunar eclipse, which occurs when the full moon moves into Earth's shadow, the view changes. An observer on the Moon would see Earth covering the Sun partially or totally, leading to a dimming of the sunlight on the Moon's surface and possibly casting the Moon into Earth's shadow entirely, depending on the type of eclipse.

Answer 2

It would look in a distinguishable way where the light is in and the darkness is at. This phenomenon would be described as the separation of where light can pass through and is plastered and where the light is absent darkness is present. Hence darkness is only the absence of light.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The astronaut can see light-weight on the bottom.
2. the planet can look dark, it'll be during a shadow.
3. the proper facet of the planet and moon area unit in daylight, the left facet of the planet and moon are dark.
