Is there light in outer space?

Answer 1

Yes. If you stay at one spot on the moon and don't move, you see the sun rise,

take about two earth-weeks to slowly cross the sky, then set on the other side,

and stay down for the next two earth-weeks.

Whether the sun is up or down, the sky is always full of stars.

If you're sitting anywhere on 50% if the moon's surface, then the Earth is always

in your sky (and in pretty much the same position all the time), going through a

complete cycle of phases every 29.53 earth-days. If you're anywhere on the other

50% of the moon, then the Earth is never in your sky.

Answer 2

As Earth rotates, different parts of it will face the sun (day); the rest will be dark (night). The tilt of Earth's axis is why there are different amounts of light and darkness during the different times of year.

Answer 3

The reason that you cannot see stars in the daytime is because of the scattered sunlight that comes from every direction; the scattered light is so bright that the stars can't be noticed.

But in a deep well or pit, or from a sinkhole in a cave, only the light straight down gets to your eye; not the light scattered from all the other directions. If you can block out enough of the scattered light, you can see the stars.

In space, where there is no atmosphere, the stars are always visible.

Answer 4

No, the surrounding sky, around the star, would be just as bright as if you were NOT in a deep hole.

Please note that some of the brighest stars and planets (especially Venus) CAN be seen in the daytime, but that doesn't require a deep hole.

Answer 5

For an observer on the Moon, it would take 29 1/2 Earth days from one sunrise to the next. Also, there are extreme temperatures on the Moon, between day and night; this is mainly due to the lack of any significant atmosphere.

Answer 6

Yes, it does. You can watch night and day unfold on the side of the moon that we can see, as you watch the monthly phases.
Yes. A full cycle takes about 29 1/2 Earth days.

Answer 7

Virtually every area of outer space has light. This varies, depending on the proximity of the place to a light source.

Answer 8

The stars can be seen in daytime only on very rare occasions, such as during a total eclipse of the sun.

Answer 9

Yes, loads of it - just have a look around. There's light everywhere

Answer 10

the moon does NOT have a night or day, because it only revolutionizes around the earth, and does not rotate like other planets who have days and nights.
