They are both in the sky! :)
When the moon is in between the earth and the sun, but not in the same plane, we see a solar eclipse.
No, a lunar eclipse is not the same as a new moon. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow on the moon. A new moon is when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun, so it is not visible from Earth.
They are one in the same.
No, the moon is not the same size as the sun. The sun is much larger than the moon.
No, the moon and sun are not the same size. The sun is much larger than the moon.
Same as distance between sun and earth ... averaging 93 million miles.
All three are in line, so the Moon is either opposite to the Sun (close to full moon), or in the same direction as the Sun (close to new moon).
When the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun you get a full moon, not a new Moon which occurs when the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun. You could also get a Lunar eclipse.
The new moon is not visible in the sky as it rises and sets with the sun during the day. It's the moon phase when the moon is directly between the Earth and the sun, so it rises and sets with the sun and is not observable.
The average distance from the Moon to the Sun is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers). However, this distance varies because both the Moon and Earth follow elliptical orbits around the Sun.
No, a lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. A solar eclipse, on the other hand, happens when the Moon comes between the Sun and Earth, blocking the Sun's light. These events cannot occur simultaneously as they involve different alignments of the Sun, Earth, and Moon.
A new moon occurs when the Moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, with the Sun's light illuminating the side of the Moon facing away from Earth. This alignment creates a moon that is not visible from Earth.
