What else can I help you with?
What happens to the amount of light reflected by the moon to the earth as it turns towards the sun?
it is because of this reflected light you can clearly see the moon
What is the acceleration of the moon towards the earth?
The acceleration of the moon towards the earth is approximately 0.0027 m/s2.
Is it true that earth's gravity pulls the moon toward it?
Yes, Earth's gravity does pull the Moon towards it. The force of gravity between the Earth and the Moon is what causes the Moon to orbit around the Earth. The Moon's motion is a balance between its inertia trying to move in a straight line and the gravitational force pulling it towards Earth.
When at new moon the lighted half of the moon faces away or towards the earth?
the lighted half is facing towards the sun not the earth
Is the moon falling towards the earth?
No, the moon is not falling towards the Earth. It is actually moving away from our planet at a very slow rate.
Do inertia pull the moon towards the earth?
No, inertia is trying to keep the moon moving in a straight line, which would be away from Earth. Gravity is pulling the moon towards Earth. The result when these two forces are combined is the moon maintaining a constant orbit of Earth.
What keeps the moon from shooting out into space?
The gravitational pull of the earth. Gravity from the Earth pulls the moon towards it.
Draw a free body diagram for the moon?
If you mean the Moon's movement around the Earth, the Earth's gravitation pulls the Moon towards the Earth. There is no opposing force that acts on the Moon (otherwise, the Moon wouldn't accelerate towards the Earth, i.e., change its direction).
How can the Moon's gravitational pull be observed on earth?
The tides are caused by the moon's gravitational pull. The moon pulls the water towards it. The moon also pulls the earth towards it, but just a bit less, so there is a bulge(the tide) in the Earth's ocean's on the side nearest the moon and on the side farthest from the moon.
Does the moon tilt on its axis?
yes it tilts at about 7 degrees. 23 degrees is the tilt of earth axis.
What causes eclipses of the moon?
Well, an eclipse is when the moon's shadow hits Earth or Earth's shadow hits the moon, and that's when an eclipse happens. So that's basically what happens to cause the eclipses of the moon.
Does earth's gravity pull the moon outward?
No, the Earth's gravity pulls the moon in towards Earth.
