Why is it day time in Australia when it's night time in Africa?
Simply put, as the Earth makes its daily rotation about its axis, one side is always facing the Sun while the opposite side faces away from the Sun. The side facing away from the Sun, whether it's Australia or England, experiences night. London and Sydney aren't quite opposite each other on the globe, being only about 150 degrees apart, so at 9 AM in Sydney, it will be midnight in London.
How does the motion of the earth cause day and night?
The Earth rotates on its axis (much like if you took a toothpick and pierced a grape with it, then spun the toothpick around between your index finger and thumb). Whichever side of the Earth is facing the Sun, is the part of the Earth that is experience daytime. The side of the Earth not facing the Sun is the side experiencing nighttime.----
How do you get Winter?
When the Earth orbits, we get 4 seasons Summer,Autumn,Winter and Spring.So when we keep orbiting we get seasons.If one side of the world is Summer,the other side has Winter.If it is Spring at the top, it is Autumn at the bottom.When the sun is facing Australia and other countries it is Summer, for the other side it is Winter because the sun is hardly facing that side.Since th Earth tilts at the top if the sun is facind that side it is Spring,and the is Autumn because it's nearly time for Winter.It keeps swapping around.That's how we get the seasons But Winter cause where talking about it.
Why do we do experiments?
Ok, so I don't know too much, but here's what I've got so far... A reason why we have those seasons is because the Earth tilts on its axis in an orbit around the sun. So, because of this, one part of Earth is more exposed to sunlight than the other side. When the Earth revolves around the sun, different parts of the Earth are hit by the sunlight. Since this is occurring, the Southern Hemisphere experiences a different season than the northern hemisphere. I hope that helps!!
Why do erasers have two sides?
If you mean the erasers that have a soft side and a hard side, it is because the soft side is designed to erase lead or graphite from a pencil and the hard side is for erasing ink.
Why can you see only one side of the earth?
because the other side's on the opposite side.
You only see one side of the earth because?
I think you meant moon. Its because the moon rotaes at the same speed it revolves around earth. So you can only see one side of it from earth.
Why does earth have layer?
because the always the heavy metals in side the earth only light materials are on the earth
Why can't we see the sun at night?
Because Earth is turning. It's only ever night time on one side of the Earth, the side not facing the sun.
Why is 1 side of the moon visible from earth?
because that side is the side earth is facing
Which side of the moon do you see from earth?
We only see one side of the moon from Earth, known as the near side. This is because the moon's rotation is synchronized with its orbit around Earth, keeping the same side facing us at all times. The far side of the moon is not visible from Earth.
What are Earth's day and night caused by?
Because the earth is a ball, and the sun is the only light source responsible for day and night, the earth can only be illuminated on one side at a time. Luckily, the earth spins so that every side of the earth gets a piece of sunshine. The rotation of the earth is what causes day and night.
Why does the sun shine on only one side of the earth at a time?
As in realestate : location, location, location.
Does only one side of the moon face the earth?
Yes only one side of the moon is always facing the earth.
Part of the moon that is thinner on the side facing earth?
The crust of the Moon is thinner on the side facing the Earth because the Moon is tidally locked with the Earth. This means that the Moon rotates at exactly the same rate it revolves around the Earth, so only one side of the Moon ever faces the Earth. Since the gravity of Earth acts on the Moon, the crust has been pulled slightly towards Earth on the side of the Moon facing Earth. Because of this, the crust of the Moon is thinner on one side than the other.
Why does only one side of the moon always faces toward the Earth while the other side always faces away from the Earth?
Because the time periods of the moon's rotation and revolution are exactly equal.
Which side is the so called dark side of the moon?
The dark side of the moon refers to the side of the moon that is not visible from Earth due to synchronous rotation, not because it is always dark. Both sides of the moon receive sunlight, but we only see one side from Earth.
