What two things cause tides?
The two celestial bodies with the most profound effect upon Earth's tides are Earth's moon and the Sun.
How far away is the sun in miles?
It varies - the moon orbits the Earth so the distance will change depending on Earth's distance from the sun as well as the moon's distance from the Earth. The minimum distance from the moon to the sun is when the Earth is closest to the sun and the moon is in new moon phase (meaning its closer to the sun than the Earth). The distance from the moon to the sun is: Earth's distance at perihelion - moon's distance from Earth at apogee. This works out to 146,692,370 km. The maximum distance from the moon to the sun is when the Earth is farthest from the sun and the moon is in full moon phase. The distance from the moon to the sun is Earth's distance at aphelion + moon's distance from Earth at apogee. This works out to 150,503,400 km.
Are moon and sun the same?
No. The sun is the bright yellow thing in the sky. The moon is the big white thing in the sky.
How do you get phases of the moon?
The Phases of the moon are caused by the sun shining on one side of the moon- the other side is in shadow. When the moon is beside the earth with the sun shining on half of it, you will see a 1/2 full moon.
The side of the moon that faces the sun is always illuminated but that side does not always face Earth The different phases of the moon are caused by the moons 28-day?
The Moon has a "day" which is the same as a month; about 29 days. The "days" and "nights" on the moon are 14.5 days each.We always see the same side of the Moon ('the Man in the Moon') because the Moon rotates with the Earth. Most people haven't seen images of the far side of the Moon. As for the phases of the Moon: the Moon is in orbit around the Earth, while the Earth is in orbit around the Sun. Essentially then, both bodies move around the Sun. The different phases are due to the Earth blocking out the Sun from shining on the Moon to various degrees. So when we see a full Moon, the Earth is not in between the Moon and the Sun at all ie the Moon is on the Sun side of the Earth at that point in its orbit.Apex answer:lunar cycle
