Why do we not see the moon clearly when it goes behind the cloud?

Answer: Because they only APPEAR to be moving behind the moon. They obviously CANNOT actually go behind it, the clouds are on Earth and the Moon is orbiting earth at a great distance. The Sun and the moon are VERY bright, compared to the sky around them.

How are we sometimes able to see the sun or the moon behind the clouds?

Answer: On the basis of the experience, we observe our eyelids are opaque. Sometimes, you are able to see the Sun or the Moon behind the clouds. We may say that clouds behave as translucent object.

Why can you see the moon through clouds?

On a completely overcast night or day, you will not be able to see the moon due to cloud cover. This is probably light from the moon. On an overcast day, the moon will not reflect light brighter than the light emitted by the sun, so this effect will not be seen.

Why can we see the moon during the day if the Earth is round?

“The sun is so bright during the day that it kind of drowns out the light from the moon and the stars,” says astrophysicist Cheyenne Polius. As the moon continues in its orbit around the Earth, away from the sun, increasingly more of its sunlit surface is visible.

When the moon is not visible it is called?

When the moon is not visible at night in a clear sky, the moon is called new moon. Shape of visible portion of the moon cyclically changes throughout the month. This is called as moon cycle.

Can the moon be in front of the clouds?

Clouds can be thin enough so that their presence is undetectable against the “noisy” surface of the Moon. Some of those clouds that look behind the moon look as if they’re thick enough that they’d visibly affect the look of the moon if they were actually in front.

Are there clouds on the moon?

When a meteoroid impacts the lunar surface, it excavates a large amount of material and makes a big dust plume. It turns out the Moon’s dust cloud is quite sensitive and is generated by sources in an organized manner, which matches the influx of interplanetary particles observed at Earth.

Why is there no moon in the sky?

One of the more obvious reasons is weather conditions. If there are a lot of clouds in place, naturally, this will mean we won’t see the moon. However you may notice the light behind the clouds. Some of the other reasons that you may not see the moon is due to it’s position in the sky and the moon’s phase.

Why we Cannot see the sun at night?

From Earth, the Sun looks like it moves across the sky in the daytime and appears to disappear at night. This is because the Earth is spinning towards the east. The Earth spins about its axis, an imaginary line that runs through the middle of the Earth between the North and South poles.

Are clouds behind the sun or the Moon?

The Illusion of Clouds Appearing ‘Behind’ the Sun or the Moon Sometimes, we can see clouds appearing as if they are behind the Sun or the Moon. Obviously, this is merely an illusion. But some flat-Earthers regard this as ‘evidence’ that the Sun and the Moon are close and apparently closer than some clouds.

Why do clouds sometimes appear to be in front of You?

The upper cloud that goes “behind” the sun is transparent, so the sun shines through it. The middle and lower clouds are less transparent, so they partially block the sunlight enough to fall below the maximum brightness the camera can handle, hence they are visible, and seem to go in front (which is what all the clouds are really doing)

Are the Sun and the Moon closer to each other?

Sometimes, we can see clouds appearing as if they are behind the Sun or the Moon. Obviously, this is merely an illusion. But some flat-Earthers regard this as ‘evidence’ that the Sun and the Moon are close and apparently closer than some clouds. They are wrong.

Why don’t the Sun and Moon ever move behind the Earth?

Because they only APPEAR to be moving behind the moon. They obviously CANNOT actually go behind it, the clouds are on Earth and the Moon is orbiting earth at a great distance. The Sun and the moon are VERY bright, compared to the sky around them.
