What else can I help you with?
Is the earths orbit around the sun a cause of the phases of the moon?
No. The moon's orbit around the earth is.
Where is the moon found?
The moon can be found in space. Moons will orbit around planets that have moons. Earth has one moon that gives four different phases each month.
The cause of the phases of the moon is a cycle that is close to what?
The cause of the phases of the Moon is closely related to our calendar month. (moon-th). The phases of the Moon are related to the Moon's orbit of Earth.

How does the moons orbit effect the earth?
The moons gravitational pull on the earth lifts the Earth's oceans causing the ebb and flow of the tides.
Do any moons orbit earth?
Yes. One moon orbit Earth (The moon)
Did two moons once orbit earth?
No
What planets do not have lunar phases?
In order for a planet to exhibit a crescent phase as seen from earth, it has to be closer to the sun than we are, meaning that its orbit has to be 'inside' the earth's orbit. For that reason, only Mercury and Venus can show crescent phases. But every planet can show phases where the illuminated portion appears to be 50% or more of the full disk.
What is the suns phase?
The sun does not have phases. It creates phases on objects between the earth and the sun. Objects beyond earth's orbit do not have phases.
Does the moon orbit Jupiter?
Not our (the Earth's) moon but Jupiter has lots of its own moons that orbit it.
What motion causes the Moon's phases?
the orbit cause it.
How many moons are in the planet Jupiters?
Jupiter has four moons that orbit it. the names of these moons are IO (eye-oh) Callisto, Europa and Ganymede.Time taken for the moons to orbit Jupiter:IO- 1.7 Earth yearsCallisto- 16.7 Earth yearsEuropa- 3.5 Earth yearsGanymede- 7.1 Earth years
