The angular size of the Sun and the Moon are exactly the same from the Earth.

It doesn't appear to be the same size

Because the Sun is 400 x further away from us than the Moon but also 400 x larger in diameter.

Because the Sun is 4000 x further away from us than the Moon but also 4000 x larger in diameter.

Because we have lunar ones instead

The Moons orbital plane is tilted 5 degrees from the plane of the Ecliptic

Because the elliptical orbit of the Moon places it at different distances

The Moons orbital plane is different to the plan of the Ecliptic

29.5 days

Full Cycle of phases

Time to complete one full rotation

27.3 days

Second full moon during a Calendar Month

An eclipsed Moon

A full moon in opposition

When you flash your bum at strangers passing

Earthshine - light reflected from Earth

Something else entirely

Moonshine - light reflected from rest of Moon

Occurs at new moon

The earth is between the moon and the sun

The Moon passes directly in front of the Sun

Light from the Sun’s photosphere obscured if observer is in the umbra

Light from the Moons reflection obscured if observer is in the umbra.

Occurs at full moon

the rugged lunar limb topography allows beads of sunlight to shine through in some places, and not in others

Diamond ring effect

a feature of total solar eclipses.

From a Thai sex shop

Small bright spots of sunlight caused by Sun’s rays shining through valley’s on the Moon

None of the above

At the beginning and end of totality

Moon only partly obscures light from the Sun. i.e. Earth’s surface lies in penumbra

None of the above

Earth only partly obscures light from the Sun. i.e. Earth’s surface lies in penumbra

Moon given bluish greeny glow.

Occurs at new moon

Occurs at full moon

Moon given reddish glow

When Earth passes between Sun and Moon.

When moon passes between Earth and Sun

A Total Solar Eclipse

A lunar eclipse because it is visible from most of the Earth’s Night Side.

A Partial Solar Eclipse

Something else

Magic

Because “blues bend best.”

Martian lights

Light from the Sun is refracted by the Earth’s atmosphere

Aurorae Borealis

Anticlockwise when observed looking down on the North Pole.

From West to East

Clockwise when observed looking down on the North Pole.

From East to West

Time for observers latitude to line up again with the Sun

24 Hours exactly

The actual time it takes for Earth to spin 360 degrees on its axis

The time taken for successive crossings for a given star across the observer’s meridian

It is 23h 56 min and 4.1 seconds

None of the above

It must rotate for an extra 4 minutes to allow the Sun to return to the same position in the sky

The time taken for successive crossings of the Sun across the Observer’s Meridian

The actual time it takes for Earth to spin 360 degrees on its axis

It is 23h 56 min and 4.1 seconds

The time taken for successive crossings for a given star across the observer’s meridian

An extra 4 minutes is needed because the Earth has moved slightly in Its orbit around the Sun

This is exactly 24 h
