What two questions can you ask your class about earth moon and sun?
How far away are they from each other and in relation to the Earth.&At what speed are they traveling through space.
How many inches does the moon move away from the earth each year?
The moon is moving away from the Earth at a rate of about 3.8 centimetres - or 1.5 inches - per year.
When there is a full moon where are the Moon Sun and Earth relative to each other in space?
They are in a line with Earth in the middle.
Is earth closer to the sun then the moon?
Yes - and no !... The moon orbits the earth - so - there will be times each day, when it's closer to the sun than the earth is. During the earth's 'night time' - the moon is further away from the sun.
Why does the earth experience moon phases?
The sun sets a glare on only one part of the moon each day. During a full moon the moon reflects light towards the Earth. During a new moon the moon reflects light away from the Earth.
How much does the moon move away from earth each year?
The moon moves about 4cm away from the earth each year. This is because the moons orbit around the earth is tilted about 5 degrees. The moon is spiraling away from the earth and one day we might not have a moon.
Why does the moon not crash on earth but stay in space and not float away or into earth?
The moon and other planets and their satellites are held in space by the force of gravity from other planets and satellites. If the moon tried to drift off into space, gravitational forces from the Earth will keep it from floating away. It doesn't crash into the Earth because planets and moons pull AGAINST each other and keep each other from drifting away.* * * * *Only partly true.The moon does not float away because of the action of earth's gravity - whether you view this as a force or a distirtion of space-time in the moon's path.The moon does not crash into the earth, not because of other planets or satellites, but because of the momentum of its orbit around the earth.
How does Newton law universal gravitation apply to Earth and the moon?
it applies to the earth and moon because their two objects in the universe that attract each other.

What do the earth and the moon have the same distance from?
each other
How do the Earth and Moon operate as a simple system?
The moon orbits around the Earth and reflects the sun at night when that part of the Earth is turned away from the sun, while the other side of Earth's sphere is turned toward the Sun, so that the Sun and moon give day and night to each part of the Earth.
How are the earth moon and sun related to each other?
The moon circles around the earth; the earth circles around the sun.
How are earth moon and satellite related to each other?
they both have one moon
Does Earth pull the moon toward it?
Earth and moon pull on each other, with equal force. That's how gravity works. As the result, earth and moon both revolve around their mutual center of mass ... the point where the pivot would have to be in order for the earth and moon to balance each other at opposite ends of a see-saw. Since the earth's mass is about 80 times the moon's mass, the point around which the two bodies orbit happens to be inside the earth, so somebody who's watching from far away would swear that the moon orbits the earth while the earth stands still.
Why does the moon circle the earth?
The moon orbits the Earth due to the gravitational pull the two bodies have on each other.
