The moon revolves around the earth.
The moon is called a new moon when it is not visible on Earth due to its position in relation to the Sun.
The Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth than the Sun is when there is a full Moon.
In a lunar eclipse, the Sun, Earth and Moon are lined up so precisely that the Moon is in the Earth's shadow. Sun . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Earth - Moon
Definitely the SUN. If the sun were where the moon is in relation to the earth, the earth would be consumed by the sun.
At the "new" moon, the moon is between the Earth and the Sun. When it is on a direct line between the Earth and Sun, that new moon becomes a solar eclipse.
they both have a rocky surface
Viewed from a point on the earth's orbit but very distant from earth,the lineup would look like this at the time of Full Moon:Sun . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Earth . . Moon
The shape of the moon changes because we see different portions of its illuminated side as it orbits Earth. This phenomenon is known as the lunar phases, which are caused by the varying positions of the moon, Earth, and the sun in relation to each other.
The movement of the Moon around the Earth is called lunar orbit. It is an elliptical path that the Moon follows as it revolves around the Earth.
What changes from days to day is the amount of sunlight we see on the moon. As the moon orbits the earth and the earth orbits the sun, the sun hits the moon at a different angle in relation to the earth.
The phases of the Moon are determined by the relative positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun. As the Moon orbits Earth, the angle between the Sun, Earth, and Moon changes, causing different portions of the Moon's illuminated side to be visible from Earth. This movement creates the cycle of lunar phases, from new moon to full moon and back again.
the moon twist twice as fast as the earth, but also travels 3 times as fast because it has to stay with earths forward motion. Im betting you didnt know that when the moon and the earth and sun line up evenly, it causes two different types of eclipses. A solar eclipse, and a lunar eclipse. when a solar eclipse happens, the moon is in the middle, when a lunar elipse is in effect, the earth is in the middle. you should never look excatly at a lunar eclpise because it can cause eye ball damage or even blindness. i hope you found my information usefull.
