When was the moon closest to the sun it is at?
* When Earth is at periapsis (closest to the Sun, in January), Earth, and therefore the Moon, are closer to the Sun than when Earth is at apapsis. * On average, at new moon the Moon is closer to the Sun than at full moon, since at full moon the Moon is opposite to the Sun in the sky.
Why did Galileo invent the telescope?
because he wanted to know a way to look at the night sky and the planets up in full detail and much much closer because he was imensly interested in Astronomy and wanted to study the planets.
Why does the earth not block the sun from reaching the moon during a full moon?
The earth does not block the sun during *most* full moons because it is not *directly* between the sun and moon. If the earth does block the sun from the moon, then the earth must be directly between the sun and moon. This will happen at full moon, since the three must be in a line, and you would see the full moon, then the eclipse, then the moon fully illuminated again.
Why lunar eclipses occur on full moon days?
Because lunar eclipses happen when the Earth's shadow falls on the moon, hiding it from the sun's light. For this to happen, the moon must be on the opposite side of the Earth from the sun, so the full half of the moon that is lit by the sun is visible from Earth. That is what full moon is.
Why does a lunar eclipse have to occur during a full moon?
Because - a lunar eclipse is when Earth blocks the sun's rays from hitting the moon. This can only happen when the sun, Earth and the moon are nearly perfectly aligned (meaning when Earth comes between the sun and moon - which is when we have a full moon.)
When the moon is full earth or the moon is closer to the sun?

Is the sun closer to earth or moon?
The Sun is at the same average distance from both the Earth and the Moon because the Earth-Moon system orbits the sun. However, since the Moon orbits around the Earth, it is sometimes closer to the Sun than is the Earth, and sometimes farther. But the difference is negligible since the Sun is more than 380 times as far from Earth as the Moon.
Is the moon full when the Earth is closer to the sun?
actually, full moon occurs when we could see the full part of the moon getting sun light.

Why is a super Moon super?
Because at the point of full moon it is about 50 thousand kilometers close to the Earth than usual and therefore appears slightly larger and 30% brighter than usual. This happens because the Moon does not go round the Earth in a perfect circle but in an ellipse. Its orbit therefore takes it away from the Earth at times and at other times it brings it closer to the Earth.
Why is the moon so big?
Because it is. There's no real explanation for the size of celestial bodies. What you have to appreciate is that the Earth, the moon and other plannets in our part of the solar system (mercury, venus, mars) are relatively small compared to other"space things" Xx
