If Earth's tides decrease what would be the most likely explanation?
A shift in the orbit of the moon.
What moon phase has earth directly between the sun and moon?
The full moon. Earth is ALMOST directly between the sun and moon, so the sun is "behind" us when we look at the moon. That is why the moon appears entirely lit to us, and is considered "full". If Earth IS directly between the sun and moon, which does not happen during most full moons, then there is a lunar eclipse.
Why does the earth not block the sun from reaching the moon during a full moon?
The earth does not block the sun during *most* full moons because it is not *directly* between the sun and moon. If the earth does block the sun from the moon, then the earth must be directly between the sun and moon. This will happen at full moon, since the three must be in a line, and you would see the full moon, then the eclipse, then the moon fully illuminated again.
When do solar eclipse appear?
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Sun and the earth. The moon covers most of the sun as viewed from earth. Solar eclipse can only appear when the there is a new moon.
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.
What is the mostly likely outcome of the moon moving away from earth?
most likely there will be no moon in the nights.
What travels around earth and is known as earth's satellite?
Earth's most famous natural satellite is known as the moon.
Does the moon orbit the planet?
That depends on which moon you are talking about. Most likely, if you are just talking about "the Moon," it is our own planet Earth.
What phases of the moon would someone on earth see when the moon is at positions A through F?
On Earth, someone would most likely see less then half of a moon.
If earth's tide decreased what would be most likely explanation?
A shift in the orbit of the moon.
If Earth's tides decrease what would be the most likely explanation?
A shift in the orbit of the moon.
Can you run faster on the moon?
on the moon, the gravity is about sixth of the earth so you can jump alot higher so you can most likely run faster on the moon that you can on earth. The real problem is the friction.
How did the moon get sucked into the earths gravity?
It did not get pulled in by Earth's gravity. The moon most likely formed when a small planet collided with Earth early in its history, producing a ring of debris around Earth which coalesced to form the moon.

Is the moon big or small when it drifts from Earth?
Well the moon is smaller than the earth normally so probably as it goes further away it most likely gets smaller
What came first the moon or earth?
We're not exactly sure, but it seems most likely that the moon was formed early in the Earth's history, when a large body collided with the Earth, shearing off molten debris. This molten debris formed the Moon. Most research and models show that the moon formed either at the same time or shortly after the Earth.
What is the most 2 common type of eclipse?
the first is a solar eclipse which happens when the moon passes in front of the sun blocking is view from earth. the second is a lunar eclipse which happens when the earth passes between the sun and the moon blacking out the moon temporarily. this is merely the earth casting its shadow on the moon as the earth orbits between the sun and moon.
