There is nothing special about it. It follows the laws of celestial mechanics. It is only special to us because it is the prime cause of our tides and is our only natural satellite. It is interesting that the moon is tidally locked with earth, and as a result we always see the same part of the moon; but this too is not special.
What else can I help you with?
Is the moons orbit around earth straight with respect to earth's orbit around the sun?
No. The moon's orbit is tilted by about 5 degrees relative to Earth's orbit around the sun. This is why we do not see eclipses every month.
Does the moon orbit Jupiter?
Not our (the Earth's) moon but Jupiter has lots of its own moons that orbit it.
How many days moons take to round of the earth?
Our moon requires 27.3 days to orbit the earth. No other moon orbits our earth--they orbit other planets.
Tiny planets that orbit?
Tiny planets that orbit larger planets are known as moons or natural satellites. These moons are held in orbit by the gravitational pull of the larger planet. Some examples include Earth's Moon orbiting around Earth and Phobos and Deimos orbiting around Mars.
What is the farthest point from earth in the moons orbit?
The farthest point in the Moon's orbit around Earth is called the apogee. At apogee, the Moon is approximately 405,500 kilometers (251,966 miles) away from Earth.
Is the moons orbit around earth absolutely straight with respect to earths orbit around the sun?
no
How long is moons orbit around earth?
29.5 days.
Is the moons orbit around earth straight with respect to earth's orbit around the sun?
No. The moon's orbit is tilted by about 5 degrees relative to Earth's orbit around the sun. This is why we do not see eclipses every month.
What role does the moons orbit around earth play in both?
Both what?
How does the moons orbit around the sun affect seasons?
It doesn't. It is the tilting of the Earth's axis that creates the seasons. The orbit of the Moon (and our orbit around the Sun) affects Earth's tides.
Where do Saturn's moons orbit?
Around Saturn in space.in the rings and around earth. it had earth orbiting it befor the sun came
What is the name for all the moons that move around earth?
There is only one moon in orbit around the Earth. We call it the Moon.
How is the moons orbit around the earth realted to an apple falling from the tree?
the gravitaional pull
Do any moons orbit earth?
Yes. One moon orbit Earth (The moon)
Planets orbit around the sun but what do moons orbit?
Moons orbit around planets. They are natural satellites that are held in orbit by the planet's gravitational pull.
Did two moons once orbit earth?
No
Why do you have two spring tides and two neap tides?
they are cuased by the moons grasity on earth and the orbit of earth around the sun
