How can a shadow get darker? When on Earth, light is scattered and reflected through air molecules, which is why the sky looks blue and "allows objects not in direct sunlight to be still well-lit," acc

While it's impossible for the average person to notice, the moon is indeed getting further from us. Science Focus explained that the lunar body is moving away from the Earth at a rate of 3.8 cm per year due to the effect of gravity. "Tides raised in the oceans cause drag and thus slow the Earth's spin rate," the outlet added while noting that the "resulting loss of angular momentum is compensated for by the Moon speeding up, and thus moving further away.

Have you ever gazed up at the moon and wondered about the contrasting light and dark spots that seem to cover the surface? What you're looking at is remnants of ancient magma flow that caused the rock surface of the moon to appear darker.

f you think that your hometown experiences extreme temperature shifts, try living on the moon. Unlike Earth, the moon has no atmosphere to help shield it from the radiation of the sun. This means that when the su

Our moon may not be the largest one spinning around in space, but it's not exactly the smallest either. Out of the 200 moons that are in our solar system, Earth's moon ranks as the fifth largest, according to World Atlas. T

Your dog averts his eyes and adopts a submissive posture after you catch him chewing something he's not supposed to. That means he knows that he's done something wrong and is sorry for it, right? Well, probably not, scientists say. It's more likely that the behaviors that owners associate with a dog's guilt are their reaction to being scolded

Not only do dogs dream as they sleep, scientists think that they dream similarly to us and replay moments from their day. You can tell that a dog is dreaming if they are twitching their legs or bark in their sleep. Additionally, small dogs have more dreams than big dogs.

The presence of a leash, the s*x of the owner, and the s*x of the dog all play a part in the aggressiveness of a dog when they're being walked

Dogs' urine contains markers that inform other dogs of its presence, social standing, and s*xual availability. Dogs lift their legs as high as they can so they can "distribute their message" better and allow its scent to travel further

Dogs are not, in fact, trying to clumsily bury their p**p when they scratch the ground after they go. They are just performing yet another territory-marking ritual. With the glands on their paws, they spread their scent and let other dogs know they are around.

In addition to being able to move in various ways, dogs' ears are also able to detect much higher frequency sounds than human ears. In fact, dogs can hear sounds that are two times beyond our range—and it appears small dogs are actually better at i

Dogs have sweat glands only on their paws, not the rest of their bodies. That little surface area isn't enough to cool them down, however, which is why they ventilate and exchange heat through panting
