What is the very bright star below the moon?
April 16, 2010: Venus is directly below the moon. Mercury is directly below Venus.This will all change by April 17.
What is the position of the moon sun and Earth during a new moon?
During a new moon phase, the moon is between the sun and the earth. It usually passes not directly between the two, but above or even below. If the moon passes directly in front of the sun at this time, a solar eclipse occurs.
If the moon was gone what will happen to the ocean?
The gravitational pull of the moon directly affects the tides in the ocean. If the moon were suddenly gone, the tides would decrease in intensity and frequency. However, other factors like the sun's gravity would still influence ocean tides to some extent.
Why can sound not be heard directly on the surface of moon?
They can; the Apollo moon landing heard the sound of hammering, among other things. See link below.
How does the moon affect Tsunamis?
The moon's gravitational pull on Earth affects ocean tides, but not tsunamis directly. Tsunamis are typically caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides, not by the moon's influence.
What is the cause of the ocean tides?
The gravitational attraction of the moon acting on the earth pulls ocean water toward the moon. The inertial force exerted by the rotation of the Earth and moon around their common center pulls water away from the moon. The result is two "bulges" of ocean water, one directly toward the moon and one directly opposite the moon. This is the "Lunar Tide." The same mechanism is operative in the Earth/Sun system, resulting in the "Solar Tide." Because the ocean basins are not regular in shape (depth changes, and the shape of the continental margins is irregular), and because the Earth rotates once per day, these two tidal signals (lunar and solar) are modified significantly, resulting in tidal variations along different parts of the global ocean and coastline.
What is created when the moon revolves around the earth?
The moon creates tidal friction when it revolves around the earth.This is what makes the ocean rise and fall with tides. The oceans directly below the earth will be pulled upwards slightly (like a bulge) by the gravitational forces of the moon. On the other side of the earth (opposite from the moon) the oceans "sink" accordingly.
What does the pull of the moon on the ocean create?
The pull of the moon's gravity on the ocean causes the tides. When the moon is over water its pull causes the water to bulge (rise toward the moon) as the Earth rotates below the moon this bulge moves. Wherever the bulge is there's high tide. Everywhere else where the water has been pulled away from to make the bulge is low tide.
Which planet does not directly orbit moon?
Every planet does not directly orbit the Moon.
In I Spy fantasy game where is the moon that is not up high?
You are probably looking in the cave. It is in the screen before that. Directly below the eye peeping out the cave on the wind up key of the moon buggy.
Which ocean on earth has the same volume as the moon?
The ratio of the earth's volume to that of the moon is right close to 50. In other words, the moon is 1/50th of the volume of the earth. Please refer to the link below.
How is the earth's atmosphere unlike an ocean?
The earth's atmosphere has a moon the ocean does not have a moon.
