How does the Earth look like from the Moon?

When we see the moon as nearly full, any moon people would see a slim crescent Earth. Because one side of the moon always faces us, from most places on the moon, Earth doesn’t appear to rise or set. Instead, from a given point on the moon’s near side, you’d always see Earth hanging in your sky.

How big does Earth look from Moon?

Can we feel the Earth moving?

Earth moves very fast. It spins (rotates) at a speed of about 1,000 miles (1600 kilometers) per hour and orbits around the Sun at a speed of about 67,000 miles (107,000 kilometers) per hour. We do not feel any of this motion because these speeds are constant.

What is the Colour of earth from moon?

From 85° north latitude the Earth dips below the lunar horizon for several days each month. The Earth reflects considerably more blue light thanks to the oceans compared to what the Moon sends our way — I suspect an astronaut would notice a watery hue to the ubiquitous grey rocks and distant hills.

What color is Earth’s moon?

It only appears as white-colored as it does because of how much sunlight there is to reflect. That ashy, rocky surface of the Moon is far less reflective than not only the land and the green trees and grasses of Earth’s continents, though, it’s swamped by the bright reflectivity of Earth’s water.
