Is it true that the moon isn't visible from certain parts of India?

Answer 1

Not unless you're talking about caves...

Answer 2

The closer one is to the equator, the more certainly an observer can see the moon. It is only near the North or South pole that one can't always see the moon because it is too low in the sky. The only other places are in deep valleys, indoors, behind large trees, etc., or when the moon happens to be on the opposite side of the Earth.

Answer 3

Possibly on the North side of a cliff or in a cave. The moon is virtually visible everywhere above ground on earth at some time.

Answer 4

Maybe there are some deep mountain valleys where it never gets above the mountains, but I never heard of them if there are. There is a valley in Italy that doesn't see the sun in winter, but I don't know of anyplace where they never see the sun. And if you can see the Sun then you can see the Moon, at least sometimes, because the Sun and Moon move along the same path in the sky, called the ecliptic, during a year.

Answer 5

Yeah that's true - when you are inside a house in India you can't see the moon.

Answer 6

Utter total Rubbish!

Answer 7

Its absolute nonsense.Moon is not visble only from poles of the earth,that too only for some months.

Answer 8

Only the parts that are underground or otherwise are never exposed to the sky :)

Answer 9

No--it's just as visible there as anywhere on earth. Just out of curisity, where did you hear that?

Answer 10

I don't think so, maybe inside the Taj Mahal?
