All of it though not at the same time.
At any point in time, it is a little over a half.
Any length smaller that the sun's diameter is a fraction of the sun's diameter!
Everyone thought that the sun orbits the Earth and all other planets but Copernicus studied the ski carefully. He found out that the Earth and all other Planets orbits the sun and the earth is not the centre of the universe. The sun is.
The answer is no its on every day but the earth rotates and wherever the the sun is shining that the place theres sun
The earth is 92,960,000-miles away from the sun. In scientific notation that is 1.496 X 108 km. The sun is the star at the center of our solar system.
he discovered that the earth revolved around the sun (heliocentricity) and at that time everyone believed that the sun/planets revolved around the earth (geocentricity)
The illuminated patch on the earth's surface drifts westward relative to a fixed point on the earth as the earth spins eastward.
The moon's surface is always half illuminated. We on Earth see 0 to 100% illumination of the side that faces use, depending on what phase the moon is at. Quarter phases, first and last, are half illuminated when seen from Earth.
Light from the sun is reflected off the moon back to the earth, which is why the moon looks illuminated. sun-----------------> moon earth <-------
One half unless it is in the earth's shadow
At any time, half of the entire Moon's surface is illuminated.
Since the Earth is a Spheroid shape, (not a true sphere) 50% of its surface is illuminated by the Sun, at any given moment.
No. The Moon is orbiting the Earth, but is illuminated by the Sun. About half of the Moon's total surface is illuminated by the Sun at any one time. As the Moon orbits the Earth, the same side always faces the Earth. The phases of the Moon represent the part of that face that is lighted on that particular day. We cannot see the far side of the Moon, but it will have the remaining part of the illuminated one-half.
Yes!!! It is illuminated by the Sun. In fact all the planets, including Earth, are illuminated by the Sun. We see these plane the reflection of Sunlight from them . None of them give off light on their own account.
It is illuminated by the Sun, just as Earth is.
Half (50 percent) of the moon is illuminated by the sun at all times, just as half of earth is always illuminated.The thing that changes is: How much of the moon's illuminated half can we see from earth ?

Like the Earth, the Moon is a sphere which is always half illuminated by the Sun, but as the Moon orbits the Earth we get to see more or less of the illuminated half.
