What kind of landscape is on the moon?
86914
It's probably all land - some lowlands, some highlands, *LOTS* of craters.

Its still a little bit dark and the light from earth when reflected back to the moon enables u 2 see the dark side of the moon but this will only happen when there is not enough light to block your view.

A satellite is the moon of a planet.

The moon appears red because of the amount of pollution in the air.

The plane of the orbit of the moon is close to the plane of the ecliptic, so the curve of the earth takes you a little bit closer to the moon in the tropical regions.  Therefore: Hawaii.\n\nBut it's not a big effect---not big enough to be noticable by eye.  The moon appears almost the same size from everywhere on earth.

Earthshine is the correct answer.  Sunlight reflecting off the Earth onto the Moon.  The moon then reflects that light back to our eyes.  The first person to correctly describe this phenomenon was Leonardo Da Vinci.\n\nFor more information, I found this link:\nhttp://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2005/04oct_leonardo.htm

The moon is basically a great big lump of dull coloured rock that floats around quarter of a million miles from us.  Just like earth, it's illuminated by the sun so what you're seeing is reflected sunlight.\n\nIt can appear as different colours due to the atmosphere here on earth.\n\nWhen the moon is up in the sky you're looking at it through a thin layer of atmosphere but when it's low on the horizon you're looking through a greater amount of atmosphere.\n\nThe way that our atmosphere breaks up sunlight into differnt colours (Rayleigh Scattering) affects the colour that the moon appears to be.  So too can particles in the atmosphere - particularly dust and volcanic ash which often gives it a reddish tinge.

Dust in the upper atmosphere of Earth can make the moon appear to be yellow or orange, even red. The effect is strongest when the moon is near the horizon.

Yes. If you are watching earth and moon from a distant place far far away in space, it would look like that. There is another thing- Moon and earth have a irregular movement due to each others gravity. They kind of wobble a tiny bit. The earth is moving, and the moon is revolving around the earth and following the earth.

The moon is red some days because of the filtering of sunlight from earth's atmosphere.

The moon is there, don't worry. Sometimes, yeah, you can see the people on the moon. Squint properly.

A full moon is simply fully visible.  Usually, the earth is between the sun and the moon to some degree.  The curved shadow on the moon is the shadow of the earth.  A full moon is when the moon is slightly to the side of the earth and the sun is shinging on the entire surface with no shadow of the earth on it.\n\nSee the link below for a good explanation.

Yes, everything's upside down from down under!\n\nIf you're facing south looking at an early crescent setting in the northern hemisphere, the Moon is on your right, and the Sun is further to the right (west), so the right (west) side of the Moon is illuminated.  From the southern hemisphere, you're facing north, and west is on your left.  The western side of the Moon is still illuminated, but now you see it on the left. The Moon, of course, appears upside down.

The Moon is spherical, so of course half of it's hidden all the time. The Moon's in a tidally locked orbit as well, so the same face is always towards Earth; 44 percent of the Moon's surface can never be seen from Earth.\n\nBut I don't think that's what you were asking. I think you were asking why the Moon looks like a sliver. It's also simple: the Moon is lit by sunlight. You will notice the bright part of the Moon ALWAYS, without exception, points at the Sun. (Sometimes you can faintly see the side away from the Sun; this faint illumination is sunlight bouncing off Earth's clouds and feebly illuminating the Moon through radiosity.)\n\nTo demonstrate the phases of the moon, get a ball and a lamp in a darkened room. Hold up the ball in front of you and turn around. Notice the phases of the ball, just like the Moon.

The Earth is between the moon and the Sun.  \n\nSomeone standing on the moon would see a solar eclipse.  \n\nSolar eclipse  Sun   Moon   Earth\n\nLunar eclipse  Sun   Earth  Moon

The moon is made of rocks with a high mineral content, including rhyolite.  The combination of materials absorbs all colors of light relatively equally, reflecting a combination of colors that is translated by our eyes as gray.

No its because the atmosphere acts like a lense. When the moon is high in the sky, the atmosphere has little affect on what the moon looks like so it will be smaller, but as it gets closer and closer to the horizon, you will be looking through a lot more atmosphere, which is like a lense of a magnifying glass. Thats why when it is low in the sky, the moon is very huge looking.\n\nBy the way, just for future reference, all orbits are eliptical because a perfectly circular orbit is only theoretical, and would never occur in nature. However the moon's orbit is close enough to circular to not affect how big it looks compared to the affect the atmosphere does.
