No, sometimes it is towards the Sun (at new moon), sometimes it is in the opposite direction (at full moon).

Why does the moon and earth get smaller when in space?

Your question does not make any sense. The Earth and the Moon stay the same size and are always in Space.


Does the moon stay at the same part of sky every night?

No. The moon Is constantly revolving around the Earth, which is revolving the Sun.


Why will a person's mass never change whether they are on earth or on the moon?

Because mass is not the same as weight. Weight is mass times gravity so your weight will change if you are on the earth or moon but your mass will stay the same.


How do satellites and the moon stay at the same height?

They do not. Artificial satellites are mostly close to the Earth, while the Moon is a quarter-million miles away.


Do the earth and the moon move at the same speed?

As far as their motion around the Sun, they would have to, in order for the Earth and Moon to stay together. However, because the Moon is also moving around the Earth, they do not have exactly the same (vector) velocities at any time. (The Moon is 400 times farther from the Sun than from the Earth, so it is mostly affected by the Earth's gravity, not the Sun's.)


How does earth stay in space and not fall?

The gravitational pull of the Sun keeps the planets in orbit without "falling." This is the same effect the Earth has on the Moon.


Why does the moon keep the same hemisphere facing earth because the gravitational force is equal to the centrifugal force?

The moon keeps the same hemisphere facing Earth because the gravitational force between the two is equal to the centrifugal force, causing the moon to stay in a stable position.


If you put a moon rock on the earth would the weight of the rock change?

No, the weight of the moon rock would not change if it was brought to Earth. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, which would be the same on the moon as it is on Earth. The mass of the rock would stay the same as well.


How do rocks stay on the moon without gravity?

The moon has gravity, but it is much weaker than Earth's gravity. Rocks on the moon stay on the surface due to the moon's gravitational pull, which is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity. This weaker gravity allows rocks to stay in place on the moon despite being less massive than on Earth.


Does the moon have day and night Moon?

If you stay at the same place on the moon and don't move around, thenyou see the sun rise, take two weeks to slowly cross the sky, then set atthe opposite horizon, and stay gone for another two weeks. A closer figureis 29.53 days for the complete day-night cycle.If the Earth is in the sky as seen from where you are on the moon, then it'salways there, in virtually the same place without ever moving. It never sets,and it displays a full set of phases every 29.53 days. If the Earth is not in thesky from where you are, then it never rises, and you never see it at all.What makes the Moon unique in this regard is that while it always faces its face toward Earth, it's period of rotation [around it's axis] is the same as it's period of revolution [around the Earth]; as in one rotation per revolution.


Do Jupiter's moons stay in orbit around Jupiter in the same way that your moon orbits around earth?

yes and no there;s no answer


What would be the same if earth rotated and revolved in the opposite direction?

This question reminds the present fact that period of revolution of the moon is the same as its period of rotation around the earth. So it shows only one hemispherical face towards the earth. Same way, Hemispherical part of the earth which faces the sun will always face the sun. So the other hemisphere of the earth will always be in the night mode as it does not receive sun's rays.
