All three rotate around a common center of gravity.
Since the sun is so big, the common center is within it, so we can say that the Earth - Moon pair rotates around the sun.
Since the Earth is so much larger than the moon, the same is true and you can say that the moon rotates around the Earth.
But note that the moon never goes "backward", both Earth and the Moon follow a wavy path around the sun.
What else can I help you with?
Can you give a example sentence of alignment?
I am waiting for the alignment of my lucky stars. The alignment of Earth, Sun, and Moon will result in an eclipse.
When the sun earth and moon are in a straight line it is called?
It could be a lunar eclipse (when the earth is in between both the sun and the moon) or a solar eclipse (when the moon is in between both the earth and the sun).
When does earth have an eclipse?
When the Sun, Earth and Moon line up exactly, an eclipse occurs. If the alignment is sun, Moon, Earth, then it is a solar eclipse. If the alignment is Sun, Earth, Moon, then we have a lunar eclipse.
How are the new moon and the full moon alike?
Both the new moon and the full moon are phases of the moon's cycle. They both occur when the moon is in alignment with the Earth and the sun. During a new moon, the moon is not visible from Earth while during a full moon, the entire face of the moon is illuminated.
Why eclipses are caused?
It happens when the sun and the Moon are in alignment.
How are the full moon and the new moon alike?
They are each a linear or nearly linear alignment of sun moon and earth.
When the tides are especially strong due to the alignment of the sun and mWhen the tides are especially strong due to the alignment of the sun and moon it is called a oon it is called a tide?
When the tides are especially strong due to the alignment of the sun and moon, it is called a spring tide. Spring tides occur during the full moon and new moon phases when the gravitational pull of the sun and moon align.
When the entire side of the moon facing the earth is bathed in the sunlight the moon is?
In alignment with the earth and sun.
What tide is formed by the straight alignment of the sun earth and moon?
The tide formed by the straight alignment of the Sun, Earth, and Moon is called a "spring tide." During a spring tide, the gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon work together, resulting in higher high tides and lower low tides. This phenomenon occurs during the full moon and new moon phases when the three celestial bodies are in alignment.
What is it called when the sun earth and the moon are in straight alignment?
Eclipse
Sun Moon and Earth are in alignment?
When the Sun, Moon, and Earth are in alignment, it results in a phenomena known as a lunar or solar eclipse. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. During a solar eclipse, the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth, blocking the sunlight from reaching certain regions on Earth.
When the tides are especially strong due to the alignment of the sun and moon they are what?
spring
