Does the Earth have more than two magnetic poles?
The planet Earth has only two magnetic poles, north and south. They do not always stay in the same location, however.
Which lasts longer a lunar eclipse or a solar eclipse?
Interesting! It depends on how you think about it. If you stand on one spot on the earth then the period of totality for a solar eclipse will be a maximum of about 7 mins. while from the same spot the period of totality for a lunar eclipse will last about 50 mins. However, during a solar eclipse the shadow of the moon races across the face of the earth from west to east, and while any one spot is only in totality for a few minutes, the shadow is present on the planet for (3 -3.5 hours), much longer than a lunar eclipse lasts.
Why did the lunar eclipse have the shadow begin at the top?
That was because of the angle of the sun shining on the Earth and casting a shadow on the moon from your perspective. From Australia, the shadow started at the bottom and moved upwards, even though we were all looking at the same moon at almost the same time.
Diagram showing what phase of moon is during a lunar eclipse?
The moon is always Full at the time of a lunar eclipse.Sun, earth, and moon are in a straight line and in the same plane. The earth is in the middle.The moon is on one side of the earth ... in its shadow ... and the sun is on the other side,about 390 times as far away as the moon.
Do all earth hemispheres see the same side of the moon?
As long as you're on Earth, you will always see the same side of the moon. This is because the moon is tidally locked with the earth, meaning is rotational period is the same as its revolutionary period. This allows us to always see the same side of the moon, no matter where on earth we are.
Is your shadow always the same height?
NO.
How does the geostationary operational environmental satellite work?

How often does the earth set from the moon?
It never does because the same face of the moon is always pointed at Earth. This is due to the fact that the moon revolves around Earth at the same speed it rotates on it's axis, so Earth remains in the same relative location in the sky on the moon.
