The rate at which the lit portion of the moon moves per hour changes with latitude. The formula for finding the average rate of rotation per hour is: 15°cos(latitude). At the equator the equation would be 15°cos(0°)= 15° per hour.

What are the types of geometric angles?
Right angle, obtuse angle, acute angle, supplementary angle, complementary angle, interior angle, exterior angle, adjacent angle
The angle of reflection is equal to the .......?
The angle of incidence
What is the angle between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection?
the angle of incidence is the initial ray angle and the angle of reflection is the reflected ray angle
What is other angle than right angle obtuse angle and acute angle?
reflex angle!
What type of angle is a 290 degree angle?
It is a reflex angle
Where on the moon gets the most sunlight yearly?
The Moon's equator; on average, the Sun will be at a higher angle there.The Moon's equator; on average, the Sun will be at a higher angle there.The Moon's equator; on average, the Sun will be at a higher angle there.The Moon's equator; on average, the Sun will be at a higher angle there.
What causes the relationship between the Sun Moon and Earth during each lunar phase?
Imagine an angle, with the Earth at the vertex and the sun and moon on the two rays. -- New Moon . . . the angle is zero. -- Crescent phases . . . the angle is acute. -- First Quarter and Third Quarter . . . the angle is 90°. -- Gibbous phases . . . the angle is obtuse. -- Full Moon . . . the angle is 180°.
Dependent on the rotation angle of the moon toward the sun?
For example, when the Moon is opposite to the Sun, it is full moon; when it is in the same direction as the Sun, it is new moon.
What does the phases of the moon you see depends on?
The phases of the moon are dependant on the relative positions of the sun, moon and earth. It's the angle between the view-lines to the sun and the moon, with you at the vertex of the angle. The phase of the moon you see depends on how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces earth.
What does it mean to have a crescent moon in Astronomy?
It means that the angle between the sun and moon, as viewed from the Earth, is less than a right angle.
Why do moon change its color?
The optical illusion of the moon changing color is due to the angle through the atmosphere that the moon is viewed at. If there is pollution in the air and the moon is at a low angle, then it will appear orange, brown, or red.
How do the moon's phases depend on the relative position of the sun moon earth?
The moon absorbs the light of sun and reflect them. We may not see the full moon because the angle we are standing at is wrong. if we stand at he correct angle we will see the moon clearly
Where can you find a website showing not the phases of the moon but the relative placement of the moon in the sky?
The relative position in the sky (relative to the Sun) is completely related to the phase. For example, at full moon the Moon will be opposite the Sun (an angle of almost 180 degrees), at new moon it will be near the Sun (an angle near zero degrees), and at half-moon it will be at a 90 degrees angle.
Why do you have a half moon?
It's because of the angle of the sun and the way it reflects on the moon.
What does the phase on the moon you see depend on?
The phases of the moon are dependant on the relative positions of the sun, moon and earth. It's the angle between the view-lines to the sun and the moon, with you at the vertex of the angle. The phase of the moon you see depends on how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces earth.
Why is the moon so low during a blood moon?
its the angle of the earth, and the gravitational pull.
What phases do you see when the moon is at a right angle to side the earth and sun?
full moon
