Hi there! So I have two answers for you, feel free to use both or one of them :)

<em>#1</em> The moon only seems bright in the night sky because it is so close to the earth and because the trees, houses, and fields around you are so dark at night. In fact, the moon is one of the least reflective objects in the solar system.

<em>#2 </em> the moon would also be just another dull orb if not for the sun's rays? The moon shines because its surface reflects light from the sun. And despite the fact that it sometimes seems to shine very brightly, the moon reflects only between 3 and 12 percent of the sunlight that hits it.

I hope this helps! Please inform me if my answer didn't help you or if it was incorrect. Thank you so much for saying thanks if you did, and have a great rest of your day or night love <3

6. Why does the north-east coast of Canada remain icebound during the winter
kow [346]

The North East coast of Canada remains icebound during winter

because of forcing of the air. As the North East coast of Canada is

located near to Northern poles and is nearer to sea hence the ports of

eastern coast of Canada freezes and the temperature in that area

becomes less than zero degree during the winter time.

Ocean currents are horizontal continuous flow of water from one place

to other . There are two types of ocean currents warm and cold flowing

along the coastline which will have an impact on climate. Thus these

waters are cold and tend to freeze up the ports early in winters.
