Celestial bodies orbiting the Earth; for thousands of years legends, superstitions and misunderstandings It becomes inspiration. As humanity we are very curious about creating stories about these mysterious objects.

Some reflect reality or were previously described as legends, but as scientific research is done, they may turn out to be real. For example The shadow on the moon is darker than on Earth to like.

First, let’s explain shadow.

Simply put: light when blocked by an opaque object We can say that a shadow is created. However, it is not only the lack of light that causes the shadow; many factors, such as the source, the distance and the intensity of the light, also influence it.

The Earth’s atmosphere scatters and reflects sunlight. These are the shadows making it look softer and slightly brighter causes.

On the moon the situation is slightly different.

There is no air or atmosphere on the moon to scatter the light. The areas where sunlight falls are quite bright and the areas where shadows are created are quite dark. Also the surface Dust and stones that absorb and reflect less sunlight is covered.

When sunlight does not fall on shadows, there are no reflections and thus shadows are created. It makes it completely dark and contains no light. That’s why the shadow on the moon is much darker than on Earth.
