Why does gravity hold moon with the earth?
Since the earth is larger than the moon it generates a more powerful magnetic field which pulls the moon towards the earth and causes it to orbit as the earth rotates on its axis, and the reason it stays in orbit is because the moon is moving fast enough to stay in orbit rather than be pulled into the earth yet it's not moving so fast that it will leave earths orbit.
Are the phases of the moon caused by the moon moving into the sun's shadow?
No, the phases of the moon are caused by the changing positions of the moon, Earth, and sun in relation to each other. As the moon orbits Earth, different portions of its illuminated half are visible from Earth, leading to the different phases we see.
What does the earths moon mean?
the earths moon helps sustsian the gravity on the earths oceancs keeping them in balance
How will a rockets weight change from the moon to the earth during the journey?
well it will increase because on how fast it is moving
What is making the moon move far away?
The law of conservation of angular momentum. The earths rate of rotation is slowing due mainly to the drag of the tides caused by the moon. To conserve the angular momentum in the earth/moon system the moon has to recede. The moon isn't moving.
What is the name of the earths planet moon?
the moon
Does the moon have an active magnetic field?
To have an active magnetic field you must have a reasonably fast rotation speed, and a molten metal core. The earths moon has neither of these, so the answer is No, the moon doesn't have a magnetic field of any kind.
Would the moon top moving if earths gravity did not pull on it?
If the Earth's gravity were to stop pulling on the moon, the moon would continue to move. It would, however, fling off away from the Earth rather than continuing in its orbit.
How fast does the earths moon go around the sun?
The moon orbits the Earth, which takes one year to go around the Sun.
What is the atmosphere of the earths moon?
There is no atmosphere on the Earth's moon.
What has the greatest effect on earths tides?
The moon.
Is the earths moon a girl or boy?
Neither it is a moon!
