Firlakuza [10]3 years ago

Answer:

The Moon doesn't make its own light, it just reflects the Sun's light as all the planets do. We see the Moon go through a changing cycle of phases each month due to its orbital motion around Earth and the changing geometry with which we view it.

Answer:

Explanation:

The moon orbits around the Earth in an elliptical path. As it moves along its orbit, it reflects light from sun back to Earth. Sometime the Earth's position in orbit blocks some of the sun light to the moon, its reflection will show Earth's shadow. The different size and position of Earth's shadow account for the moon's phases: no shadow at full moon and half shadow at crescent moon.

What is the role of ocean currents in the transport of heat? how can ocean currents affect climate? contrast the climate of a mi
liubo4ka [24]

<span>Ocean currents aid in the transportation of cold water towards the tropics and warm water towards the poles. By so doing, they help in the regulation of climate by ensuring that the uneven distribution of solar energy is counteracted. This in turn impacts on climate.</span>

The mid-latitude coastal city at the western boundary is likely to experience cool summers than they should and cool winters. On the contrary, a mid-latitude city on the eastern boundary is likely to experience a warmer weather. This mainly occurs because the two areas have different water temperatures. On the west, the gulf stream that feeds up the hurricane is usually warm as opposed to the east where ocean surface temperatures tend to be low.
