Distance-wise, yes. The moon travels around and around the earth, always at a relatively constant distance, and the sun is about 390 times farther away.
In terms of how they line up, the Earth is sometimes between the Moon and the Sun, and this happens when the Moon is full. But sometimes, the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, and this happens at the new Moon.
What else can I help you with?
When the moon is between the sun and the earth and you see the shadowed side of the moon?
That is called a Solar eclipse.
What earth phase do you see when you see a waxing gibbous phase on the moon?
It would be the opposite. If we went to the moon when it was full, we would look back at an earth in shadow (a `new earth`) If we went to the moon when it was new, then it would be between us and the sun, so we would look back at a full earth. For a waxing gibbous from earth, the earth would be a waning crescent from the moon.
Where is the moon located in relation to the sun and Earth during a solar eclipse?
The moon orbits the earth at an average distance of 226,000 miles, while the earth orbits the sun at a distance of around 93,000,000 miles.
What are the differences between a solor eclipse lonor eclipse new moon and full moon?
A lunar eclipse means the Earth is exactly between the Sun and the Moon, so the Earth's shadow falls onto the Moon. A new moon means the Moon is roughly between the Sun and the Earth, so you can't see the Moon that easily because the side that is lit by the Sun is pointing away from us. If during a new moon the Moon should become _exactly_ between the Earth and the Sun, some people on Earth (if standing in the right place) would see a big chunk cut out of the Sun where the Moon is blocking its light, causing a shadow to go on the Earth. The Moon might even completely block out the Sun's light for a few minutes. This is called a Solar Eclipse.
A solar eclipse can only happen during a new moon?
That is because the Moon has to be between the Sun and the Earth, to cover the Sun from our point of view. When this happens, we see the dark side of the Moon - i.e., it is new moon.That is because the Moon has to be between the Sun and the Earth, to cover the Sun from our point of view.

When earth is between the moon and the sun what kind of moon do you see?
Its called a lunar eclipse so a black one.
When the earth is between the sun and moon what do we see?
We see a crescent moon.
What kind of moon can people expect to see during a lunar eclipse when Earth is between the moon and the sun?
During a lunar eclipse when Earth is between the moon and the sun, people can expect to see a "blood moon." This is because the Earth's atmosphere scatters sunlight, allowing only red light to reach the moon, giving it a reddish hue.
When the earth is between the moon and sun what moon it is?
you will see a full moon
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.
What moon phase do you see when the earth is in between the sun and the moon?
Full Moon
Is satellite is between the moon and earth?
yes satellite is between moon and earth. moon can see a satellite only for ten hours in a day
In what phase is the moon when you do not see it?
The phase in which the moon is not visible from earth is called the "new" moon. It happens when the moon is aligned between the sun and the earth (every 28 days), which causes the side of the moon that we usually see to be in shadow.
When the moon passes between earth and the sun?
Then we see full moons. If the Earth passes PRECISELY between the Sun and the Moon, then we see a lunar eclipse.
When do you see new moon?
the new moon is seen when it comes between the sun and the earth
How does the sun and moon differ in the way people see them?
It is the distance between the earth and moon.
What moon phase do you see when the earth is between the sun and moon?
