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.
Is a lunar eclipse the same as a new moon?
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.
What phase do the moon and sun have the same orbit position?
The moon and sun have the same orbital position during the new moon phase. At this time, the moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun, making it difficult to see the moon from Earth. This alignment means that both celestial bodies share the same ecliptic longitude, resulting in the moon being in conjunction with the sun.
What is the difference between sun roofs and moon roofs?
They are one in the same.
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.
How far the distance between sun and moon?
Same as distance between sun and earth ... averaging 93 million miles.
What is the relationship between the moon sun and earth during high tides?
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).
What time of the day do you expect the new moon to rise?
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.
What is it when the earth is between the sun and the 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.
What is the proximity from the moon to the sun?
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.
Can there be a lunar ecplicse and solar at the same time?
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.
