Why does phases of the moon happen if the moon is a full disk?
The moon hasn't got any light of itself, it can only reflect sunlight. When the Earth gets beween the Moon and the Sun, the Earth will cast a shadow on the Moon. Phases of the Moon happens as the Earth's shadow move across the Moon's surface.
Over millions of years the moon is moving further away from the earth what will happen to the gravitational attraction between the moon and the earth as the moon gets further away?
As the moon gets further and further away, the gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon decreases. Because the Moon is not being attracted but being pushed away from the Earth. If the gravitational force would have increased, the moon would come closer and closer to the Earth.
When the moon is in the middle of the lineup and gets between the earth and the sun?
What happens is a solar eclipse. The Moon casts a shadow on the Earth. This does not happen on each revolution because the Moon's orbit it tilted, so an eclipse only happens when the Moon is crossing the ecliptic at the right moment.
Why does a solar eclipse occur during a new moon?
Because the moon gets between the sun and the Earth. You can't see a new moon because the sun is behind it and not shining on the face that we always see. A solar eclipse can only happen when the moon is between the sun and earth, perfectly aligned.
Does the moon have anything to do with the weather?
yes when the moon gets closer to the earth it is called a supermoon and causes the tides to rise and natural disasters and the next super moon is on march 20 2011 so this earthquake and tsunami are not even anything
What will happen to the tides when the moon gets closer to the earth?
They will rise.
What causes eclipse and why?
Solar eclipses are caused by the Moon covering the Sun. This can happen at new moon. Lunar eclipses are caused when the Moon gets into Earth's shadow. This can happen at full moon.

Eclipse why does it happen?
A solar eclipse is when the moon moves in front of the sun casting a shadow on earth. A lunar eclipse is when the earth moves in front of the sun so the moon gets no light
Why does it an eclipse happen?
A solar eclipse is when the moon moves in front of the sun casting a shadow on earth. A lunar eclipse is when the earth moves in front of the sun so the moon gets no light
How eclipces occurs?
The two most important types of eclipses are:* Solar eclipses. They happen when the Moon covers the Sun, blocking the sunlight. * Lunar eclipses. They happen when the Moon gets into Earth's shadow.

What happen on 19th march 2011?
The Red/Super-moon will come closer and the gravity from both Earth and the Moon will cause Earthquakes, Tsunamis, etc. but it's actually a maybe because it does say everywhere that this will happen on the 19th of March. Like what Isaac Newton predicted.

Where does the moon have to be for a solar eclipse to happen?
the moon has to be in front of the earth
What will happen if the earth get between the sun and moon?
When the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, it is a Full Moon but when the Sun, Moon and Earth are directly in line - we will get a lunar eclipse.
