Is the moon view of the moon is the same everywhere?
wheather a person in Australia on the same date at night time as a person in Britain would see the same view of the moon?
Answers:
If you can see the moon from both points at the same time then the phase of the moon will be the same.
If however the moon is visible in Britain, but still below the horizon in Australia, then the phase will have very slightly changed by the time the moon rises in Australia.
We of course always see the same face of the moon but you would get slightly different views (angle-wise) depending on where on the planet you are located at the time. Generally yes we would see the same view wherever we are on the planet provided all the skies are clear around the globe.
Pretty much, yes. It will have waxed (moved towards full moon) or waned (moved past full) slightly, because they don't see it at the same time of course, but yes, all parts of the world have, for instance, a full moon in the same 24 hour period.
Remember, the main motion here is the Earth spinning on its axis - that's much faster than the Moon moving round the Earth.
Apart from the altitude yes. Although technically there will be a slight variation in the amount of moon showing between the view at the beginning of the night in Australia and the end of the night in say California. because the moon's phase will be approximately 24 hours later.
Yes, because the moon does not revolve on an axis and so presents the same face to the Earth regardless of season. I would wager that the moon is far enough away from the Earth for differences of 12,000 miles to be insignificant in terms of what you would actually see.
only at the closest point between the moon and the surface of the earth will the view be the same.It would depend on the distance between Australia and Britain ,and the position of the moon at the same time.
no they would not see the same moon because the moon travells around the world. so it will be like 9pm in u.k and 10 am in australia, so obviusly australia won't see the moon at 10 am....see ya
Pretty much. Kinda like when a group of you and your friends get mooned by some moron driving by. You will all see the same act, but by slightly different angles. And speaking of mooning, guess where this act got its' name?
Yes.
The distance between the earth and the moon makes the angle of observation on the Earth a negligible diference when viewed with the eye.
Also, it is important to note the the Moon's period of Rotation is nearly precisely the same as it's period of Revolution. This has the effect of moon showing the same surface view no matter the time of month or year. -Even at the face we see rotates from being the solar facing Light side to the dark side. It's really quite odd in that way.
Yes, but it will be at different locations in the sky depending on where you are located on the earth.
Yes
i am not sure but i wound say no beause the earth is moving around so the moon wound be at a diffent angle to the person in australia. but i am just in year 10 so if I am right or not is unknown.
but i think that is what wound happen.
When people on the East coast see the sun set, it is still mid afternoon on the West coast. So in that sense, if a person in Britain looks at the moon at the same time as a person in Austraila, they won't see the moon in the same place of the sky.
Also, people in the Southern hemisphere see the moon upside down compared to people in the Northern hemisphere. But if everyone were to look at the moon at, say, local moonset, the moon would look the same to everyone, except for people in the other hempshere, who would see it upside down comparatively.
Everywhere that I have been, the moon has looked more or less the same as it dose here in England.
Hmmm intersting question and sorry this is not an answer but more of asking your question again. but when ever I go on holiday typically meditarenean type holidays - I always think the moon looks more tilted than it does back in the UK.. for example a crescent moon is almost like a smile the further south you go, where as in the UK it is like the letter C.. maybe it's just me imagining things!!
