The Moon turns on what?

Answer 1

Because it is so close to the Earth the atmosphere messes with the color.

Answer:

"Blood-red" moons happen during "lunar eclipses." And while the first answer is correct in its simplicity, as to why the moon turns red... a little more detailed answer might be: "...as earth blocks out the sun's rays, the sunlight bends around the edge of the earth, and this light is reflected onto the moon. The moon's reddish tint comes from the indirect rays of light being filtered through our atmosphere the visual effect that makes sunsets that striking coral color. Our atmosphere acts like a filter, removing most of the blue-colored light, while leaving the red and orange light displayed on the moon's surface."

Answer 2

The big one you can see in the sky with the naked eye revolves around the planet Earth.

Answer 3

It doesn't. All of the known planets ... even Pluto ... revolve around the sun

in the counter-clockwise direction as viewed from above Earth's north pole.

Answer 4

Revolve.

Both, actually. The Moon is "tidally locked" to the Earth, with the same side always facing the Earth. So it revolves AROUND the Earth, and ROTATES on its own axis, with the same period; about 27 days.

Answer 5

-- The earth and moon both orbit their "common center of mass" ... the point

between them where the pivot of the see-saw would have to be in order for

them to balance each other.

-- Since the earth's mass is about 80 times as much as the moon's mass, that

point has to be 80 times farther from the center of the moon than it is from the

center of the earth.

-- The result is that their "common center of mass" is actually inside the earth.

So if you're watching the pair from the outside and you're not measuring too

closely, you'd swear that the moon is going around the earth, and you wouldn't

notice that the earth is also slightly wiggling.

-- By the way ... People often ask "Does the moon orbit the sun or the earth ?"

That "common center of mass" of the earth-moon pair is actually the thing that's

in orbit around the sun, while the earth and moon are both circling around it.

Answer 6

To be absolutely technical about it, the earth and moon both revolve around their mutual

center of mass.

But since the earth's mass is about 82 times the moon's mass, that means their mutual center

of mass is 82 times as far from the moon's center as it is from the earth's center.

Bottom line is: They both revolve around a point that's inside the earth. It's some distance

away from the axis, but it is inside the earth.

Answer 7

The earth and moon both revolve around their common center of mass. Since the mass of the earth is about 82 times the mass of the moon, the moon is about 82 times as far from the common center of mass as the earth is. That puts the common center of mass something like 2,875 miles from the center of the earth ... which is inside the earth. If you could observe the pair from a stable position that's not gravitationally influenced by either one, you'd see the earth wobbling around a point inside of itself, and the moon revolving around the same point but a quarter million miles away from it, both once a month. Without some pretty precise measurements, you'd swear the moon was revolving around the earth. Is that answer good enough to settle the bar bet ?

Answer 8

Of course the Moon revolves around the Earth!

Strictly speaking, Moon and Earth revolve around their common "center of mass", but this is somewhere inside the Earth.

Answer 9

Half of the moon is always lighted by the sun. A new moon is when it's in a position

where we can't see any of the lighted half. A full moon is when it's in a position where

we can see all of the lighted half.

Answer 10

the earth has to rotate or one side will be dark and also has to go around the sun due to the gravitational pull
