View of the sky when you are on the moon.
Short Answer
Solution
- On the Moon, the sky appears completely black, even during the day! This is because the Moon doesn’t have an atmosphere to scatter sunlight like Earth does.
- Earth's View: If you look up from the Moon’s surface, you can see Earth shining brightly in the sky. Earth looks much bigger than the way we see the Moon from Earth.
- Stars and Sun: Stars are visible even when the Sun is out because there is no atmosphere to block or scatter the light.
- No Twinkling: Stars don’t twinkle as they do from Earth because twinkling is caused by Earth’s atmosphere. On the Moon, they appear steady. Chandrayaan Mission of India.
