The moon is smaller, uninhabited, and barren. The Moon does not have oxygen but the Earth does. No gravity on moon but the Earth does. No water, land, life, on the moon.

What are the differences between a solor eclipse lonor eclipse new moon and full moon?

A lunar eclipse means the Earth is exactly between the Sun and the Moon, so the Earth's shadow falls onto the Moon. A new moon means the Moon is roughly between the Sun and the Earth, so you can't see the Moon that easily because the side that is lit by the Sun is pointing away from us. If during a new moon the Moon should become _exactly_ between the Earth and the Sun, some people on Earth (if standing in the right place) would see a big chunk cut out of the Sun where the Moon is blocking its light, causing a shadow to go on the Earth. The Moon might even completely block out the Sun's light for a few minutes. This is called a Solar Eclipse.


What are the planets between the earth and the moon?

There are no "planets" between the Earth and its Moon (the closest astronomical body to our planet). Earth has no natural satellites other than the Moon, although some Sun-orbiting asteroids (notably 3753 Cruithne) have orbits that intersect the Earth's orbit and have moon-like resonances with Earth and other inner planets.There are two planets whose orbits are between the Earth and the Sun : Mercury and Venus.

Solar eclipse


Can you describe a solar eclipse?

Any time the Sun, the Moon, and the Earth line up with the moon between the Sun and Earth there is a solar eclipse. (if the Earth is in the middle then you get a lunar eclipse.) Note that because of the difference in the sizes of the objects, the location of a total solar eclipse is relatively small.


How the detection of a small iron inch core supports the theory that the moon was formed a collision between earth and a mars sized object?

The chemical composition of every planet is unique but the Moon's composition is similar to Earth's which leads us to believe that the Moon came from the Earth. However, a theory was generated that another planet collided with Earth and created the moon.


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.


What is the difference between the gravitational attraction of objects on earth and objects on the moon?

the difference between the gravitational pull on th eearth and moon is 1/6th. The gravitational pull on the earth is 6 times more than the garvitational pull of the moon. If some one weighs 36 kgs on earth then the weight on moon will be 6 kgs.


Why is the moon located between the sun and earth?

The Moon is not necessarily located between the Sun and Earth.About half of the time (half of the orbit of the Moon around Earth), the Earth is closer to the Sun than the Moon is. This is the case whenever the Moon surface is more than 50 % lit (more than half moon).At full moon, the Earth is located almost on a straight line between the Moon and the Sun.At some full moons, there is a lunar eclipse, where the Earth is located so close to a straight line between the Moon and the Sun and that the Earth casts shadow on the Moon.Similarly, half of the time (half of the orbit of the Moon around Earth), the Moon is closer to the Sun than the Earth is. This is the case whenever the Moon surface is less than 50 % lit (less than half moon).At new moon, the Moon is located almost on a straight line between the Sun and Earth.At some new moons, there is a solar eclipse, where the Moon is so close to being on a straight line betwen the Sun and Earth that the Moon covers the Sun when seen from the Earth.But the distance from the Moon to Earth is always much less than the distance from the Moon to the Sun. This is because the Moon orbits Earth in almost a circle with an average radius of 385,000 kilometers, whereas Earth (and with it, the Moon) orbits the Sun in almost a circle with an average radius of 150,000,000 kilometers.The Sun is always around 400 times as far from Earth as the Moon is.


Why can some areas on earth see the solar eclipe and not others?

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon is between the sun and the earth, and casts a shadow on the earth. The moon is small compared to the earth and the sun, so the shadow does not cover all of the earth.


Difference between solar and lunar eclipse?

During a Solar Eclipse the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun. The Sun is obscured, and part of the earth is placed in the Moon's shadow.During a Lunar Eclipse the Moon passes into the Earth's shadow, and is obscured in darkness.
