What else can I help you with?
Are the phases of the moon caused by the Moon's orbit around the earth?
Yes - actually it is caused by the varying angle between Sun, Earth, and Moon; and that depends mainly on the Moon's orbit.
Are the phrases of the moon caused by the positions of the moon and earth?
Yes
This caused by a shadow and caused either the sun or the moon not to be seen?
the earth blocks the sun and moon
What effect is caused by the Moon's gravity?
Earth's tides are caused by the Moon's gravity (in combination with the Sun's).
T or F The phases of the moon are caused by the positions of the Earth Sun and Moon?
True. The phases of the moon are caused by the positions of the Earth, Sun, and Moon in relation to each other. As the Moon orbits Earth, the Sun's light shines on different parts of the Moon, creating the changing patterns of light and shadow we see from Earth as the phases of the moon.
Are the phases of the moon caused by the moon moving into the sun's shadow?
No, the phases of the moon are caused by the changing positions of the moon, Earth, and sun in relation to each other. As the moon orbits Earth, different portions of its illuminated half are visible from Earth, leading to the different phases we see.
How do you explain how the phases of the moon are caused by the revolution of the moon around the earth and the position of the sun?
The phases of the moon are caused by the relative positions of the sun, moon, and Earth. As the moon orbits Earth, different portions of its illuminated half are visible from Earth, leading to the changing appearance of the moon's phase. The position of the sun relative to the moon and Earth determines the angle at which sunlight hits the moon, creating the different phases we see.
What do you call the dark shadow caused by the moon on the earth?
The dark shadow caused by the moon on Earth is called the umbra during a solar eclipse.
What is causing the moon to accelerate?
The Earth. The Earth and Moon are bound together by gravity and the Earth's tides (caused by the Moon) are accelerating the Moon and slowing the spin of the Earth. This means that the Moon is slowly getting further and further away from Earth.
Are the tides on earth caused by the gravity?
Tides on Earth are caused by the gravity of the moon and, to a lesser degree, the sun.
What is the cause of the different phases of the moon?
That's caused by the motions of Earth-Moon system around the Sun and Moon around the Earth.
What is the changing apperances of the moon from the earth?
They are called phases of the moon. They are caused by the moon orbiting the earth and changing its relative angle to the sun
