Does the moons orbit around the earth affect the moon phase?
yea
What is a moon and how does it move around the solar system?
Moons are approximately spherical objects which orbit planets and are smaller than the planets that they orbit, although they are still relatively large objects (so an orbiting dust particle does not qualify as a moon). Since moons orbit planets, their motion around the solar system is controlled by the planets that they orbit; planets orbit the sun, and planets take their moons with them.
Do moons and asteroids orbit the sun?
Asteroids orbit the sun. Moons orbit planets and planets orbit the sun. So you could say the moons orbit the sun. However, moons are kept in their orbits by the gravity of their planet and planets are kept in orbit by the gravity of the sun. So in that sense, moons do not orbit the sun.
Which five moons orbit Jupiter?
63 known moons orbit Jupiter.
Why doesn't Jupiter orbit its moons?
Jupiter doesn't orbit its moons because it has a greater mass than them.
Why do moons orbit Jupiter?
Moons orbit Jupiter because of the combined influence of gravity. and the forward motion of the moons. If there were gravity along, the moons would fall into Jupiter. If there were only forward motion, the moos would fly off into space.
What is the motion of one object around another?
In planetary terms, when referring to the motion of planets and moons etc. the motion is describes as orbiting. Moons are on orbit around planets, while the planets are in orbit around the sun. An orbital motion.
Does the moons orbit around the earth affect the moon phase?
yea
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.

How does the moons motion in space differ from the suns?
There is only one legit sun and that sun orbits the center of the milky way whereas the moons orbit their planet.

63 known moons orbit Jupiter.
How does the moons orbit around the sun affect seasons?
It doesn't. It is the tilting of the Earth's axis that creates the seasons. The orbit of the Moon (and our orbit around the Sun) affects Earth's tides.
What are moons?
Moons are satellites. They orbit planets.
How many moons orbit around the planet Uranus?
27 moons orbit Uranus that we know of
Does the moon orbit around the sun affect the moon phase?
no. But the moons pahses chang eby the whereabouts it is at that moment.
