Question

Suppose you lived in the crater Copernicus on the side of the Moon facing Earth.

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

In case, I lived in the Crater Copernicus on Moon's side facing the Earth then:

• On moon, as it orbits the Earth, it takes 29 and a half days to complete one cycle of sunrise and sunset. So, the would rise once in 29 and a half day.
• The moon orbits the Earth in such a way that the its same side faces the Earth always which concludes that the Earth is overhead every time resulting in no Earth rise or Earth set on Moon.
• Due to the thin atmosphere, it can't impart any specific color to the sky on the moon as a result of which the moon's sky is always black and hence, stars can be seen every time.
