What type of moon happens when The moon and sun are on the same side of Earth?
new moon ^_^
What causes the moon to change what phase it is in?
The moon is always half illuminated by the sun. As the moon travels in its orbit around the Earth, the amount of the lighted-half that we can see changes, depending on the moon's position. There's nothing mysterious, difficult, or complicated about it. Take a flashlight and a soccer ball into a dark room. Turn on the flashlight, aim it at yourself, back off several feet, and then hold the soccer ball up at arm's length. Holding the soccer ball out in front of you, turn around slowly, and watch how you see different amounts of the lighted half of the ball, and different amounts of the dark half of the ball, depending on where it is in its path around you.
Is the same ball float in moon as earth placed in a bucket contained water?
Yes.
Why is the mass of a bowling ball the same on earth and on the moon but the weight of the bowling ball on earth different on the moon?
You need to understand that MASS is an intrinsic property of matter, the bowling ball will have the same mass no matter where it is. WEIGHT is the pull of gravity on matter. As gravity is weaker/less on the Moon as compared to Earth, the same size lump of matter (the bowling ball) will weigh less on the Moon as it does on Earth. The problem in understanding this difference happens because as we live on Earth we confused MASS and WEIGHT before we understood the physics. On Earth a 1 Kg mass weighs 1 Kg, however if we take that 1 kg mass to the Moon where gravity is only one third of that on Earth it will only weigh 1/3 Kg. However, there is another property of matter that is related directly to its Mass and that is the energy you need to put in to get it to move (or stop moving) - this is called INERTIA. Weather on the Moon or on the Earth the INERTIA of the bowling ball will remain the same. If you roll it to another person on a horizontal surface on the Moon or on Earth, the person you roll it to will find it just as hard to stop in both places.
Does the moon get dark during the lunar eclipse?
The darkness of the new moon is caused by a sort of eclipse, but not an eclipse of something between the sun and the Earth. During a new moon, the Earth is positioned between the moon and the sun, thus shadowing the moon.
What shape is earth's moon?
a ball
Could you hit a golf ball further on earth or the moon?
the moon
What is the earth and moon made of?
The Earth has many layers of soil and rock. The moon is just a big ball of soft rock.

Would a golf ball have more or less potential energy on the moon than it does on earth?
On the moon. When a golf ball is struck on earth, gravity slows it and brings it to a halt. On the moon, there is very little gravity, so the potential energy of the golf ball is limitless.
How do you make a model of the moon and earth?
Use a styrofoam ball
During the summer does the earth face the moon?
some part of the earth ALWAYS faces the moon. ALWAYS (its a big ball we live on)
What type of moon is it when the moon and sun are on the same side of Earth?
It is a new moon.
What is going to happen if you Imagine tying a string to a ball and twirling it around you how is it similar to the moon orbiting earth?
The string acts like the gravity of the earth. the circular motion of the ball imitates the orbit of he moon.

How many moon is earh have?
Type your answer here... Earth has one moon
Would a ball dropped from 5 feet on the moon hit the ground faster that a ball dropped from five feet on the earth?
No, it would hit slower because gravity on the moon is 1/6 the gravity on earth.
