Which phase of the Moon occurs when Earth the Moon and the Sun lie on the same line?
When the moon is the one in the 'middle' . . . New Moon. When the Earth is the one in the middle . . . . Full Moon. (The Sun can never be the one in the middle.)
Which 2 planets lie between venus and Jupiter?
The two planets that lie between Venus and Jupiter are Earth and Mars.
What is the condition necessary for eclipse to occur?
a solor eclipse happens when the moon passes in front of the earth and son at a perfect angle and cast a shadow so every thing would be in total and upper most darkness unless you are far or not close to the eclipse sight.
What causes the moon to be pulled towards the earth and the earth be pulled towards the moon?
That would be universal gravitation, a property of space which . . . within the range of temporal andspatial dimensions that lie between the realms of general relativity and quantum mechanics . . .causes a mutual force of attraction between every two mass objects.But you can just call it "gravity".
Did an eclipse occur with each full moon and new moon explain?
No. The orbit of the Moon about the Earth does not lie exactly in the plane of the Earth's orbit about the Sun, so most of the time the Moon goes a little "over" or "under" the point at which it would be directly in line with the Sun.
What determines what phase of the moon you see?
Through reflection, the sun's light allows you to see what you see as the moon. We see phases because the moon itself rotates while traveling around the Earth at the same time.it just isMoon phases are the different forms the Moon takes in its appearance on earth. A full moon occurs when the moons surface reflects light towards Earth. A Waxing moon is when more of the light side of the moon can be seen each night. A waning moon is when less of the light side can be seen each night. A new moon occurs when the moon is between the Sun and Earth. When a new moon appears, the dark side of the moon faces earth and light side faces the sun. When this happens, the moon is in the sky but cannot be seen. The new moon rises and sets with the sun. This is how the moon faces depends on the relative position of the sun, the moon and the earth.A lunar phase or phase of the moon refers to the appearance of the illuminated portion of the Moon as seen by an observer, usually on Earth. The lunar phases vary cyclically as the Moon orbits the Earth, according to the changing relative positions of the Earth, Moon and Sun. One half of the lunar surface is always illuminated by the Sun (except during lunar eclipses), and hence is bright, but the portion of the illuminated hemisphere that is visible to an observer can vary from 100% (full moon) to 0% (new moon). The boundary between the illuminated and unilluminated hemispheres is called the terminator.Lunar phases are the result of looking at the illuminated half of the Moon from different viewing geometries; they are not caused by shadows of the Earth on the Moon that occur during a lunar eclipse. The Moon exhibits different phases as the relative geometry of the Sun, Earth and Moon changes, appearing as a full moon when the Sun and Moon are on opposite sides of the Earth, and as a new moon (also named dark moon, as it is not visible at night) when they are on the same side. The phases of full moon and new moon are examples of syzygies, which occur when the Earth, Moon and Sun lie (approximately) in a straight line. The time between two full moons (and between successive occurrences of the same phase) is about 29.53 days (29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes) on average (hence, the concept of a timeframe of a period of time of an approximated month was derived). This synodic month is longer than the time it takes the Moon to make one orbit about the Earth with respect to the fixed stars (the sidereal month), which is about 27.32 days. This difference is caused by the fact that the Earth-Moon system is orbiting about the Sun at the same time the Moon is orbiting about the Earth.The actual time between two syzygies or two phases is quite variable because the orbit of the Moon is elliptic and subject to various periodic perturbations, which change the velocity of the Moon. When the moon is closer to the earth, it moves faster; when it is farther, it moves slower. The orbit of the Earth around the Sun is also elliptic, so the speed of the Earth also varies, which also affects the phases of the Moon.[1]It might be expected that once every month when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun during a new moon, its shadow would fall on Earth causing a solar eclipse. Likewise, during every full moon we might expect the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon, causing a lunar eclipse. We do not observe a solar and lunar eclipse every month because the plane of the Moon's orbit around the Earth is tilted by about 5 degrees with respect to the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun. Thus, when new and full moons occur, the Moon usually lies to the north or south of a direct line through the Earth and Sun. Although an eclipse can only occur when the Moon is either new or full, it must also be positioned very near the intersection of Earth's orbit plane about the Sun and the Moon's orbit plane about the Earth (that is, at one of its nodes). This happens about twice per year, and so there are between 4 and 7 eclipses in a calendar year. Most of these are quite insignificant; major eclipses of the Moon or Sun are relatively rare.
Is it possible for us to lie on the moon?
Although the force of gravity is much lower on the moon than it is on Earth, you could still lie down on the moon without floating away. actually the moon contains a powerfull neurotoxin that inhibits the brains left hemisphere making you completely unable to tell a lie, every word said on the m oon is the truth, always
How does a lunar eclipse differ from a solar eclipse, and can you explain the key distinctions between the two celestial events?
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. In contrast, a solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, blocking the Sun's light. The key distinction is that a lunar eclipse involves the Earth's shadow on the Moon, while a solar eclipse involves the Moon blocking the Sun's light from reaching Earth.
Which planet is North of the Earth?
All of the planets lie on the ecliptic plane - more or less. So from earth they follow the same path as the sun and moon in the sky - more or less. They might lie to the north when seen from the southern hemisphere, but it will depend on the time and where they are in their orbit.
Does venus lie between earth and the sun?
it does, being the second planet. The earth is the third planet, while mercury is the first. But often it's not between the Earth and the Sun. It depends where the planets are in their orbits.
How is a solar eclipse different from a lunar eclipse in terms of their astronomical occurrences and visual effects?
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, blocking the Sun's light. This creates a shadow on Earth. In contrast, a lunar eclipse happens when Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. Solar eclipses are visible during the day, while lunar eclipses are visible at night. Solar eclipses can create a total or partial darkening of the sky, while lunar eclipses give the Moon a reddish hue.
Can you explain the difference between a lunar and solar eclipse and how they differ in terms of visibility and impact on Earth"?
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon. This makes the Moon appear darker or reddish in color. A solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, blocking the Sun's light and casting a shadow on Earth. Solar eclipses are more rare and can only be seen in certain areas, while lunar eclipses are visible from anywhere on the night side of Earth. Solar eclipses can have a more dramatic impact on Earth, affecting temperature and wildlife behavior, while lunar eclipses are mainly a visual spectacle.
