An extraordinary sight of Earth from a distant planet is often referred to as an "Earthrise" or "Earthset," depending on whether you are observing it from a planet's surface or space. This term is commonly used to describe the stunning view of our planet as seen from another celestial body, such as the Moon during the Apollo missions or from Mars, as captured by various spacecraft. These moments provide a unique and awe-inspiring perspective of our home planet from a distant vantage point.
