What else can I help you with?
What do we see when the moon is in between the earth and the sun (but not in the same plane)?
When the moon is in between the earth and the sun, but not in the same plane, we see a solar eclipse.
What would happen if the moons orbit were completely in the same plane as the earths orbit around the sun?
If the Moon's orbit were in the same plane as Earth's orbit around the Sun, we would experience a solar eclipse every month during the new moon phase as the Moon would pass directly between the Sun and Earth. This alignment would likely have a significant impact on Earth's tides and possibly cause more extreme weather patterns due to the gravitational influence of the Moon.
How can the moon completely block out the sun during a total solar eclipse?
Because at 240,000 miles, the diameter of the moon is virtually the same as the sun.
What is the eclipticA. The plane that the sun orbits Earth onB. The plane that the moon orbits the sun onC. The plane that Earth orbits the sun onD. The plane that the moon orbits Earth on?
C.
What cause a solar eclipse?
A solar eclipse is caused when the moon crosses in front of the sun.
What is the alignment of the earth sun and moon during a lunar eclipse?
The three bodies are arranged in a straight line and in the same plane, with the earth in the middle. Sun ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> Earth --> Moon
How long would a solar eclipse occur if earth sun and moon were in the same plane?
1 year
What is it called when the moon is on the same side of the earth as the sun?
when the moon is covering the sun completely it is called a "total solar eclipse", when it is covering part of it it is just called "solar eclipse" .
Are the moon and sun the same size?
No, the moon and sun are not the same size. The sun is much larger than the moon.
Is the moon the same size as the sun?
No, the moon is not the same size as the sun. The sun is much larger than the moon.
Is it possible to have a new moon and a full moon in the same day?
No. The position the Moon has to be in for a full Moon is completely different than for a new moon. When we have a full Moon the Moon is on the opposite side of us to the Sun. When we have a new Moon, the Moon is on the same side of us as the Sun. It takes about 2 weeks for the Moon to go between those two positions, so it is not possible for it to happen on the same day.
What would happen if the Moon's orbit were completely in the same place as the Earths orbit around the Sun?
Your question isn't very clear. The moon revolves around the earth so it essentially has the same orbit around the sun.
