lunar or solar eclipse
What else can I help you with?
Why do you see different phases of the moon if the same side is always facing the earth?
The phases of the moon are the result of the ever-changing positions of the Earth, moon, and sun relative to one another. When the moon and the sun are on opposite sides of the earth (whereby the sun, earth, and moon form a straight line), a full moon occurs. When the moon and sun are on the same side of the earth (whereby the sun,moon, and earth form a straight line), a new moon occurs.
How do you know if the moon will rise in a full moon half moon a quarter moon or a new moon?
The easy way is to look at any calendar; almost all calendars have the moon phases printed right on them. You can also consult the U.S. Naval Observatory's web page; they list the dates of all the quarter-moons. See the link below.... if you know the phases of the moon you should no what will happen each night.
Which type of tides occurs when the sun and moon form a straight line?
Spring tides
What moon phase occurs when the Sun Earth and Moon form a right triangle and the Moon is moving toward the Sun?
Third quarter moon
How a solar eclipse form?
A solar eclipse is formed on a new moon day, when Sun , Moon and Earth come in a stragiht line. The eclipse occurs on the earth where shadow of moon falls on our lovely planet, Earth.
When the sun the moon and earth form a right angle we have tides.?
An Neap Tide occurs -**$$**
What is the position of the earth moon and sun during spring tides?
During spring tides, the Earth, Moon, and Sun are aligned in such a way that their gravitational forces combine to create higher high tides and lower low tides. This alignment occurs during the full moon and new moon phases when the Earth, Moon, and Sun form a straight line.
What occurs when the moon blocks the earth from the sun?
It doesn't. The light will form a cave around the earth to create darkness but than loop back into light and hit the moon.
When you see a half moon what is the position of the Sun?
When you see a half moon, the position of the Sun is either directly to the right or left of the Moon as viewed from Earth. This is because a half moon occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon form a 90-degree angle, with the Sun illuminating half of the side facing Earth.
What must happen for a total eclipse of the sun to occur?
For an eclipse to take place the earth, moon and sun must form a straight line. then the shadow of the earth r the moon will fall upon the moon or the earth, and that is an eclipse. There are two types of eclipses; Solar and lunar. A solar eclipse is when the moon passes in front of the sun causing it to "disappear." A lunar eclipse is when the Earth passes between the sun and moon so that the moon doesn't get light causing it to appear red-ish.
When the sun moon and earth form a 90 angle we have?
When the Sun, Moon, and Earth form a 90-degree angle, a phenomenon known as a "quadrature" occurs. This alignment typically happens during the first and third quarter phases of the Moon. During this time, the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon on Earth partially cancels each other out, resulting in lower tidal ranges, known as neap tides.
Why do you see a full moon?
A full moon happens when the earth is between the sun and the moon, around the time in the month when the three bodies come as close to a straight line as they can get. The plane that contains the earth's orbit is not the same plane that contains the moon's orbit. So the sun, earth and moon cannot form a straight line every month during the full moon. If there were a straight line formed every month, then there would be an eclipse of the moon during every full moon. When a full moon happens at one of the two 'nodes', where the moon's orbit passes through the earth's orbital plane, there will also be an eclipse of the moon that month. So, strange as it may seem, there are slight variations on the actual 'fullness' of full moons from month to month.
