What do the distances of the the moon to the earth and the sun to the earth mean?
"Distance" means how far two object are from one another. In this case, how far the Moon is from Earth, or how far the Sun is from Earth.
Which phase of the Moon occurs when Earth the Moon and the Sun lie on the same line?
When the moon is the one in the 'middle' . . . New Moon. When the Earth is the one in the middle . . . . Full Moon. (The Sun can never be the one in the middle.)
Which is the correct position from the center of the solar system of the sun earth and moon during a lunar eclipse?
Earth ---> Moon ---> SUN.
How fast does the earths moon go around the sun?
The moon orbits the Earth, which takes one year to go around the Sun.
How many years does it take for the moon to go around the sun?
The moon goes around the earth. The earth goes around the sun in a year. So, for purposes of astronomy, the earth and moon are one unit going around the sun. Therefore the moon goes around the sun in one year.
What is the order of the earth moon and sun when the moon is a full moon?
The sun is in the center of our solar system, then come the planets Mercury, Venus and then Earth. Since the moon circles the Earth sometimes the moon is between the sun and the Earth and sometimes the Earth is between the sun and the moon.
Does the Moon go round the Sun?
The moon rotates around the Earth, and as it does so the Earth is rotating around the sun. So yes, along with the Earth the moon does go around the sun.
Can mercury cause an eclipse on earth?
No, mercury cannot cause an eclipse on Earth. Eclipses occur when one celestial body moves into the shadow of another, such as when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, or when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon. Mercury is too small and too far from Earth to create an eclipse; its position and size do not allow it to obscure the Sun or the Moon from our viewpoint.
Does the far side of the moon receive any light from the moon?
every side of the moon eventually gets sunlight, because the moon revolves around Earth and Earth revolves around the sun. but only half of the moon if ever lit at a time, and the light goes around the moon
Why do you see different phases of the moon if the same side is always facing the earth?
The phases of the moon are the result of the ever-changing positions of the Earth, moon, and sun relative to one another. When the moon and the sun are on opposite sides of the earth (whereby the sun, earth, and moon form a straight line), a full moon occurs. When the moon and sun are on the same side of the earth (whereby the sun,moon, and earth form a straight line), a new moon occurs.
Which one is nearer moon or sun?
The sun is about 390 times farther from earth than the moon is.
What phases of the moon do you see when the moon earth and sun are lined up?
New Moon when the moon is the middle one. Full Moon when the earth is the middle one.
