It could be a lunar eclipse (when the earth is in between both the sun and the moon) or a solar eclipse (when the moon is in between both the earth and the sun).
What else can I help you with?
What is it called when the Sun Earth and Mars line up?
When the Sun, Earth, and Mars are in a straight line, it is known as a "conjunction." This alignment occurs periodically due to the orbits of the planets around the Sun.
When the sun earth and moon are in a straight line it is called?
It could be a lunar eclipse (when the earth is in between both the sun and the moon) or a solar eclipse (when the moon is in between both the earth and the sun).
What is the angle between the line from the earth to Jupiter and the line from earth to the sun when Jupiter is at opposition?
The angle between the line from Earth to Jupiter and the line from Earth to the Sun when Jupiter is at opposition is 180 degrees. This is because Jupiter, Earth, and the Sun are aligned in a straight line during opposition, with Earth in the middle.
What is an imaginary straight line around which an object such as earth rotates?
An imaginary straight line around which an object like Earth rotates is called its axis. Earth's axis is an imaginary line that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole, around which the planet rotates as it orbits the Sun.
What is the eclipse about?
An eclipse is when the earth, moon and sun are all in a straight line, from earth it looks like the sun has turned dark!
When are the sun moon and earth in a strait line?
Either a Solar Eclipse- (Sun-Moon-Earth) or a Lunar Eclipse- (Sun-Earth-Moon). These are both straight lines.
What are the positions of the Sun Earth and the moon during a solar eclipse?
All three in a straight line, with the Moon between the Earth and the Sun.
What is it called when the sun earth and the moon are in straight alignment?
Eclipse
The force that tends to pull the Earth into outer space away from the Sun is called?
Gravitational Force is what pulls the Earth towards the Sun. The "force" pulling it away from the Sun is centrifugal force, but is actually better described as inertia...the tendency of a moving body to continue moving in a straight line. Look at it this way...the Earth, due to inertia, wants to go in a straight line into space, but the Sun's gravity is pulling it towards it. The two forces are equal so the Earth remains in a constant orbit around the sun. The apparent "force" that is keeping the Earth in orbit and offsets the Sun's gravity is called centrifugal force, but is really nothing more than the Earth's inertia trying to move it in a straight line. See the included link for more information.
What does gravity prevent the earth from doing?
It prevents the earth from spinning off in a straight line away from the sun instead of falling back into the sun.
What are the relative positions of earth the moon and the sun during a solar eclipse?
All three in a straight line, with the Moon between the Earth and the Sun.
How is a lunar and solar eclipse alike?
Both lunar and solar eclipses are the result of positioning 3 astronomical bodies (earth, sun and moon) in a straight line relative to the observer. A solar eclipse is observed when the sun, moon, and earth are positioned in a straight line with an observer on the earth. A lunar eclipse is observed when the sun, earth, and moon are in a straight line with an observer on the earth. A lunar eclipse, as observed by an observer on the earth would appear as a solar eclipse as observed by an observer on the moon.
