When the moon is between the earth and the sun its called?
When the moon is between the earth and the sun it blocks part or all of the view of the sun and it's called a solar eclipse
How do the Earth and Moon operate as a simple system?
The moon orbits around the Earth and reflects the sun at night when that part of the Earth is turned away from the sun, while the other side of Earth's sphere is turned toward the Sun, so that the Sun and moon give day and night to each part of the Earth.
Sun or moon which one is far from earth?
Moon is 250,000 miles away. Sun is 93,000,000 miles away.
Why does the illuminated part of the Moon appear to change shape to us on Earth?
The shape of the moon changes to us on Earth because of the position that the Sun, Moon, and Earth are in at the time. If the Sun, Moon, and Earth are at a 180o angle withe the moon and sun on the out side then we will have a new moon because the earth will be blocking all the light away from the moon.
Which is the nearest the moon or the sun?
The Moon is closer at 384400 km (0.0026 AU) away from Earth while the Sun is 150000000 KM (1 AU) from Earth.
Can people only see the part of the moon where the sun is shining on it?
This is essentially correct. When part of the moon is in darkness, we can't see it. Additionally, the same side of the moon faces earth all the time as our satellite is locked in its orbit to constantly face earth. We only see the portion of the moon that is both illuminated by the sun and facing the earth.

No, the Moon is nowhere near as hot as The Sun, and the Moon is as far away from the Sun (on average) as Earth is.
Why does the sun play a smaller part in the tides?
I assume you mean, comapred to the Moon. The Sun has more mass than the Moon, but it is also farther away - about 400 times farther away. And the effects on the tides vary inversely as the third power of the distance.
What number is the moon from the sun?
The moon is an average distance of about 238,855 miles from the Earth, while the sun is about 93 million miles away from the Earth. Therefore, on average, the moon is about 93 million + 238,855 miles away from the sun.
