Was there moon yesterday?

Yes, the moon is an essential component of Earth's celestial system and is present in the sky in some phase every day. However, the moon's visibility may vary depending on its phase, position, and time of the day.


Why is it bright during a cloudy night?

Even on cloudy nights, some light from the moon and city lights can still filter through the clouds, causing the sky to appear brighter than if it were a completely overcast night. Additionally, the clouds themselves can reflect light back towards the ground, further contributing to the brightness.


When it's cloudy can you see the moon?

Typically, when it's cloudy, the clouds obstruct our view of the moon, making it difficult to see. However, sometimes the moon's brightness can still peek through the clouds, offering a hazy or obscured view.


Do stars appear every night?

Yes, stars are always present in the night sky. However, their visibility can be affected by factors such as light pollution, weather conditions, and the phase of the moon.


Why do tornadoes appear black?

Tornadoes do not always appear black. The apparent color depends on lighting conditions and how much and what color of soil is being lifted. Many tornadoes appear dark because of perspective: the are lit from behind and are essentially silhouetted against the light source. The same tornado may appear lighter if viewed from a different angle. The storms that spawn tornadoes have very thick clouds that often making conditions appear very dark. The clouds themselves may be black. Some tornadoes may be black as they lift large amounts of black soil into the air.
