The phases of the moon have no effect at all on the calendar currently, in the sense that the phases bring about some kind of change in the calendar. However, historically the moon's phases are important. The cycle we call 'month' comes from the word moon, and the lengths of months (you know they differ by as many as 3 days) is roughly related to a full cycle of moon phases.

at the quarter moons it doesn't.

∙ 15y agoNo, Clouds are never higher than about 8 miles over your head most are only a couple. The Moon is like a million miles away and is always behind the clouds.

∙ 14y agoThe tides are stronger when Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned - this is because when that happens, Sun and Moon work together to produce stronger tides. This happens at full moon, or new moon.

∙ 14y agoNo. The phases of the Moon are caused by the fact that the Moon orbits the Earth, while the light comes from the Sun.

∙ 10y agoThe moon has very minimal effect on the clouds due to the small size of the water vapor that make up the clouds.

Which phases of the moon bring the highest tides what cause the height tides?
Wat is it
Does the moon go through phases because of the Earth's shadow on the moon?
NO. That's a misconception. Only the half of the Moon that is facing the Sun at any particular time is sunlit. We see varying amounts of that hemisphere as the Moon orbits Earth. That is the cause of the Moon's phases.
The earth experiences spring tides at which two phases of the moon?
Full Moon and New Moon phases.
What are the moon phases for Florida in April 2009?
The NASA web site has a table of phases of the Moon at http://www.usno.navy.mil/USNO/astronomical-applications/data-services/phases-moon It doesn't matter where YOU are for the phases of the Moon; this table is the same for everyone.
Does everyone on earth see the same phase of the moon on any giving day?
The moon orbits the earth in just a little under 28 days. The earth is blocking sunlight from reaching the moon at certain angles which cause the phases of the moon. Everyone sees the same phases because of this.
The cause of the phases of the moon is a cycle that is close to what?
The cause of the phases of the Moon is closely related to our calendar month. (moon-th). The phases of the Moon are related to the Moon's orbit of Earth.
What is the cause of the phases of the moon is a cycle that is close to?
The cause of the phases of the Moon is closely related to our calendar month. (moon-th). The phases of the Moon are related to the Moon's orbit of Earth.
The of the earth sun and moon cause the phases of the moon and eclipses?
yes
Does the weather affect how the moon changes its shape?
No. The phases of the Moon are independent of the weather. However, if there are clouds, you may not be able to SEE the Moon. But it's still there.
What motion causes the Moon's phases?
the orbit cause it.
Do the phases of the moon cause seasons?
No. The phases of the moon are completely unrelated to the seasons. The seasons are caused by the tilt of earth's axis of rotation.
Are the moon phases predictable why or why not?
Moon phases are predictable because the Moon orbits the Earth and the Sun reflects off the Moon.
What 2 factors cause the moon to have phases Please inform me of what these are.?
The moon has many different phases that it goes through multiple times throughout the year. The two factors that cause these phases are its position in relation to the Earth's shadow. The second one is the position of the sun in relation to the moon.
Is the earths orbit around the sun a cause of the phases of the moon?
No. The moon's orbit around the earth is.
The cause of the phases of the moon is a cycle that is close to what long?
The phase of the moon that is close to long is the crescent
What cause the moon phases to change?
the way the sun light hits it during the rotation of the moon
Does the earths rotation cause the Moon's phases?
Not only the earth's rotation , the lunar phases change cyclically as the Moon orbits the Earth, according to the changing positions of the Moon and Sun relative to the Earth.
