What happens if the moon comes very near the earth?

The moon comes near the sun and they from a solar ecliopses

The Moon is the closest to Earth

In the "new moon" phase, the Moon is almost (but not quite!) between the Earth and the Sun. You can't see it, for two reasons; first, the Moon and Sun will rise and set at about the same times, so the Moon is competing against the Sun's bright glare, and second, the illuminated side of the Moon is the FAR side; the near side of the Moon is dark. When the Moon comes EXACTLY between…

For a "spring tide" to occur, the Sun and Moon are lined up with the Earth; either near the new moon or near the full moon. This is because the Sun and the Moon each cause their own tidal forces on the Earth's oceans, and when the forces are lined up, they add together. A "neap tide" occurs when the tidal forces of the Sun and the Moon work at right angles to each other…

The new moon is the monthly phase of the moon where it is completely unlit (or as near to being completely unlit as possible that month). If you think about it, this is going to happen when the moon is between the earth and the sun. New moon happens when it is as close as it can be to casting a shadow on the earth. The moon doesn't cast a shadow on the earth every…

The Sun always shines on half of the Moon. As the Moon circles the Earth, we Earthlings see a the near half of the Moon, but we can't always see all of the illuminated half. This difference in direction - the Sun shines from the Sun but we see from the Earth - causes the effect of "phases" of the Moon.

The near side of the moon faces the Earth.

The moon will melt

Correct answer: For a "spring tide" to occur, the Sun and Moon are lined up with the Earth; either near the new moon or near the full moon. This is because the Sun and the Moon each cause their own tidal forces on the Earth's oceans, and when the forces are lined up, they add together. A "neap tide" occurs when the tidal forces of the Sun and the Moon work at right angles to…

That depends what you call "near". The moon is about 390 times farther from the sun that it is from the earth.

Yes. The Moon's rotation on its axis is in sync with it's orbit around Earth. Therefore, the near side of the Moon is always facing Earth.

the near side is the side of the moon that is always facing earth, and as such is closer to the earth then the far side which is always facing away from the earth.

No. "Days" and "nights" on the Moon take about 15 days each. At the full moon, the near side of the Moon is fully illuminated; at the new moon, the near side is mostly dark. (However, the near side of the Moon is still slightly illuminated by Earthshine, the light of the Sun that reflects off of the Earth. )

The side of the moon that always faces the Earth is referred to as the "Near Side."

a currently popular theory is that the moon came about when an asteroid collided with earth, ejecting what is now the moon into near-earth orbit.

the entire moon is always near earth...! the side near us is nearer because we can see it

The gravitational force of attraction between the moon and an object on or near its surface is 0.165 of the force between the Earth and the same object on or near Earth's surface.

Because the near side is protected somewhat by the earth.

The near side.

The near side.

The moon is much closer to the earth that the sun. The moon is about 239,000 miles away. The sun is about 93,000,000 miles away.

.A new or full moon which occurs with the Moon at or near (within 90% of) its closest approach to Earth in a given orbit. In short, Earth, Moon and Sun are all in a line, with Moon in its nearest approach to Earth.

Without gravity, the Moon would not orbit Earth. If it were anywhere near Earth, it would just continue moving in a straight line, and eventually get far away from Earth.

On Earth, gravity comes from the planet. The farther you go into space and away from Earth, the less gravity there is. Until you get near an large object, like a star, or a planet, or a moon, or a black hole. Then you will feel the pull of gravity again.

Yes. The moon is close to the planet it orbits: Earth.

you have to be near the moon

Full moons occur when the moon is at a point in its orbit where it is opposite the sun relative to the Earth. That happens about once a month. It can be at any time of day or night, depending on where you happen to be on the Earth. However, in most places on Earth, the full moon will not appear above the horizon unless the sun is near or below the horizon. So, the…

Moon Near-Earth Objects (asteroids, comets) Venus Mars

No, the moon is in orbit near Earth (which, I suppose, can say is next to the Earth) the closest heavenly body to the sun is the planet Mercury

No not very near they just orbited the moon once and then returned to the earth.

A Full Moon Happens Once Every Month Usually Near The End Of The Month.

The same reason you have to look up to see the moon when you're standing on earth. From earth, the moon appears to move across the sky, but on the moon, the earth stays in the same spot at all times. This is because the near side of the moon is always pointing to earth while the earth rotates, which gives the moon the appearance of movement across the sky.

Sun, Moon and Earth are all in a line in that order. It does not happen annually, but if you mean an annular eclipse, that is a solar eclipse that happens when the Moon is at its greatest distance from Earth, so that it appears too small to block the Sun completely. For that to happen it has to be a New Moon with the Moon at one of the nodes of its orbit (i.e…

In a lunar eclipse, the shadow of the Earth hits the Moon, and all or part of the Moon is darkened. In a solar eclipse, the shadow of the Moon hits the Earth. If you're on that spot on the Earth, then the Sun is blocked out as if by an enormous rocky cloud - which is exactly what's happening. If you're NEAR that spot on the Earth, then the sky may be somewhat or…

When CFC molecule comes near ozone, it reacts with it. This leads to depletion of ozone layer.

The new moon is the phase of the moon when only the side of the moon away from the earth is lit, so the side facing earth is in near total darkness. The moon is very difficult to see during this phase.

The answer lies right there in your question . . . The force of gravity in either place is what causes the object to fall. The acceleration of the fall near the surface of the moon is about 16.55% of its acceleration near the surface of the Earth.

That's the "near side".

Moon near perigee (closest orbital distance to earth). AND Earth near aphelion (furthest orbital distance from sun, in early July).

from the earth you see the moon's phases. From the moon, you see the earth's phases that are same as the moon's phases

It always faces away from the earth

The Moon is tidally locked to Earth; the Moon's "day" and the Moon's month are the same length. So the "near side" of the Moon always faces the Earth, and the "far side" always faces away from Earth.

-- The visible side. -- The outside. It's usually called the "near side" of the Moon. The side we can't see is calledthe "far side".

it seems bigger because the moon is closer to the Earth at certain times.

It was not any where near the earth. the earth did not get a moon until it was .2 billion years old the earth is said to be 4.7 billion years old and the moon collided with it 4.5 billion years ago, settling into an orbit that was far closer then then it is now.

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.

The "near" side of the moon is the side that always faces Earth. The "far" side of the moon can only be seen from space. The dark side of the moon is the title of a Pink Floyd album. There is no side of the moon that is always dark.

I think this question should be "What is an annular eclipse?" An annular eclipse is a well-known type of solar eclipse where a small rim of the sun is visible all the way around the occluding moon. The name of the eclipse comes from the meaning of the Latin word annulus, meaning ring (or possibly circular opening). This type of eclipse happens when the moon is at or near its farthest orbital distance from the…

The side of the Moon that faces Earth is called the near side, and the opposite side the far side. The far side is often inaccurately called the "dark side," but in fact, it is illuminated exactly as often as the near side: once per lunar day, during the new Moon phase we observe on Earth when the near side is dark

"Apogee" means the point in the moon's orbit where it's farthest from earth.
