25 sty 2018 · I think the angle of the tilt of the Moon will be different as seen from different latitudes. Specificaly near the poles you would see the line between illuminated and shadowed part of the Moon very verticaly. At the equator horizontaly. And somewhere in the middle between the equator and the pole tilted under some angle.
14 lip 2015 · But, if you mean to get a roughly calculation as on where the moon is at a certain time knowing its phase you can calculate it by knowing that the Earth spins 15°/hour and that the moon positions for each phase. Therefore, new moon the moon will be closer to the zenith at noon (local solar time), 6am for waxing moon, 12 am for full moon and ...
7 lis 2020 · While you have "illumination" it would seem to be easier just to map "moon age" (in days) to a character. The average synodic month is 29.53 days, and you have 28 characters, so calculating age*28/29.53 and then rounding to give a number between 1 and 28 (or 0 and 27). Then it is just a matter of adding 97 if that number is in the range 0-13 ...
1 lis 2022 · The phases of the Moon are defined in terms of the Moon's elongation: the difference in (geocentric) ecliptic longitudes of the Moon and Sun, with New Moon at 0°. The ecliptic latitude is ignored. From Wikipedia Lunar Phases. There are four principal (primary/major) lunar phases: the new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter (also ...
13 cze 2019 · The moon is shown at 8 key stages during its revolution around the earth. The moon phase name is shown alongside the image. The dotted line from the earth to the moon represents your line of sight when looking at the moon. The large moon image shows what you would see at that point in the cycle.
2 lut 2016 · Latitude. For example, the moon can appear directly overhead only up to about 29 degrees latitude. (Disclosure, another answer of mine.) The axial tilt of the Moon orbit, about 5° relative to the ecliptic. Other lunar vagaries. Weather, of course. This map shows that the moon will be directly over Florida on March 20, 2040, 7pm local.
31 mar 2018 · A new moon (when the moon is not seen at night) happens regularly, every 29.5 days (roughly). This is roughly one day less than a month. So you can forecast the next few new moons by "add a month, minus a day". The next New moon will be on 16 April. We would then expect new moons on: 15 May, 14 June, 13 July, 12 August and so on.
27 lut 2021 · 4. The angle that the moon appears to be tilted depends on the relative positions of the sun and moon. The lit part of the moon always points at the sun, but it points at the sun along a "great circle", and this can create an optical illusion, since a line in the sky that is parallel to the horizon could appear "straight" but it is not a great ...
18 cze 2023 · 4. I recently found out that the moon's appearance changes based on one's latitude, and while googling for more information I found conflicting images about what the moon's phases look like from the equator. Some images (Example 1, Example 2) show the light of the moon starts from the bottom and grows up to the top while waxing, and then the ...
4 mar 2021 · Everybody knows that the moon changes phases throughout the course of about a month. The lunar month is about 29 days. The moon goes through one cycle of its phases from new moon, through full moon, and back to new moon again, in a lunar month. We can see these changes in the slightly different appearance of the moon every evening.
