What is the phase of the moon that happens when the lighted half faces away from earth?
If the hemisphere that is 'lit' is facing away from the earth then it is a new moon
Why doesn't the sun pull the moon away from the earth?
The gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon is stronger than the gravitational force between the Sun and the Moon. This is why the Moon stays in orbit around the Earth instead of being pulled away by the Sun.
How the moon position affects the tides of earth ocean?
Wherever the moon is, the mass of water on Earth facing AND opposite of the Moon are pulled outwards because of the Moon's gravity. The mass of water facing the Moon is pulled out because its gravity is stronger there. Thhe mass of water facing AWAY from the moon is pulled out because of the LACK of moon gravity on it, if that makes sense. Wherever is not facing the moon or directly away from the moon has low tides because the moon's gravity does not much affect that area and the water from there rushes to the areas facing and facing away from the moon.
How does the moon's position affect the tides of Earth's oceans?

Why does the moon not get pulled towards the earth?
Allthough moon is pulled by earths gravitational field but due to another forces like centrifugal force of moon which is developed by moon while revolving around earth keep it away form collpsing with earth. Also there are many other bodies in space which neutralize the gravitational pull of earth to moon.
Theory of the origin of the moon?
There are many theories to the creation of the moon. One theory is that it is a part of the Earth. Part of the molten earth that pulled away, but got caught in the gravitational pull of Earth.
The earth's water is pulled by the?
moon
Why doesn't the earth's gravaty pull the moon into the earth?
Earth gravity is pulling the moon, that is why it orbits. The only reason the moon doesn't get pulled closer is because it is orbiting to fast to be pulled.

Why does the moon float and not get pulled to earth?
Because of the gravitational force difference on earth and moon.
What is it called when the moon is the farthest away from the earth?
It is called Apsis. The point in the moon's orbit where that happens is the apogee of the orbit.
