In which place we can see sun and moon together?
One of the biggest reasons for coming to Kanyakumari is that people come to see the most unique thing of nature. This unique thing is a look at the moon and the sun together. On the full moon day it is a sight to see once in a lifetime.

How can everyone on earth see the moon at the same time?
Yes, everyone sees the same phases of the Moon. People north and south of the equator do see the Moon’s current phase from different angles, though.

Can we see full moon and sun together?
You will almost never see the full moon and the Sun at the same time. However, the Moon’s orbit is inclined to the ecliptic by about 5 degrees which is the reason why we do not see a solar eclipse during every new moon.
Can moon and sun meet?
When the sun meets the moon, something quite magical happens, in the shape of a solar eclipse. The phenomenon occurs when the moon moves between the sun and the earth. A total solar eclipse can happen only at a new moon, when other types of alignment occur as well.
Is the sun and moon the same thing?
