Same way as the Earth, since they move together.

Why does it have to be new moon to be solar eclipse?
Because a solar eclipse occurs when the moon blocks the sun. The only way for this to happen is if the moon is between the sun and the earth. When the moon is between the sun and the earth, it is a new moon.
Which of the earth sun and moon orbits which?
The Sun as it's the only body in the Solar System that is undergoing nuclear fusion.
What gets in the way of the sun during a solar eclipse?
The moon does.
Why is it some people experience a total solar eclipse while others experience a partial eclipse or no eclipse at all?
The Sun is about a million miles across, while the Earth is only 8000 miles across and the Moon is only 2150 miles in diameter. Because the Sun is so much bigger than the Earth or the Moon, the shadows of the Earth and Moon are cone-shaped.So the shadow of the small Moon gets even smaller by the time the shadow gets all the way to Earth, 240,000 miles away. In fact, the distance from the Sun to the Moon varies from 225,000 miles at the perigee to 252,000 miles at the apogee. When the Moon is in close, the diameter of the total part of the shadow - the "umbra" - is only about 300 miles. When the Moon is further away, the cone-shaped umbra of the Moon's shadow doesn't reach all the way to the Earth; that's when we have "annular" (ring-shaped) eclipses.Where the umbra of the Moon's shadow touches the Earth, we have a "total" eclipse. Around that spot is a ring of "partial" eclipse where the Sun is peeking out from behind the Moon. Further away from the umbra, the Moon doesn't block the Sun at all.
When the sun earth and the moon are lined up such that the full moon moves into earth shadow?
When the Sun, Earth and Moon are lined up in such a way that the full moon moves into the Earth's shadow, it creates a lunar eclipse.
Which way do the patterns of shadow and light move across the moon?
The Moon travels across the sky in the same direction as the Sun; Its' leading edge is the point at which phase changes start and move from right to left.
How does the sun moon stars earth moon move during day?
Earth rotates on its axis The moon orbits the Earth The sun IS a star so stars move the same way Earth takes a year to orbit the sun Moon takes a month to orbit the earth Earth takes a day to orbit around its axis The Sun does NOT move
What does the way sunspots travel across the face of the sun indicates about the way the sun rotates?
Suspots don't actually MOVE across the face of the Sun; a sunspot pretty much stays put. So when we see sunspots APPEAR to move, what we're actually seeing is the rotation of the Sun itself.
Does the sun and the moon move?
The simple answer is YES!!!! Think of the Sun as the centre of the Solar System and the planets and moons orbit around the Sun. However, The Sun is a star in one of the tails of the Milky Way galaxy. The Milky Way, galaxy and its tails also rotate, taking our Sun and planets etc. with them. So the Sun is also moving too!!!!
Why do the sun and the moon appear to move cross the sky each day?
Because God intended it that way
Which is the largest sun moon or earth?
The sun (Way bigger)Then the earthThen the moonThe sun is the largest out of the moon, sun, and earth.moon earth sun
How could you observe and measure the way the sun appears to move across the sky with out looking at the sun?
Put a stick in the ground and look at the changes in the direction and length of its shadow.
When the moon is closet to the sun it is called what moon?
well actually the moon is way far away to the sun but to us they are close but it is always called the moon but once its the moon on top pf the sun or the other way around its called an eclipse
What are the different way the earth move?
The earth turns on its axis; it orbits around the earth-moon barycenter; it orbits around the sun.
Why does the sun appear to be moving across the sky?
Its the earth that moves, not the Sun. This happens because the Earth rotates towards the east. Here's a way to see how this works. Sit in a chair that can spin, and turn on a lamp across from you. Give the chair a spin but sit still and don't move your head. You will see the lamp move across your field of view just like the Sun moves across Earth's field of view (the sky).
How far away is your sun from the milkyway?
Our Sun and solar system are part of the Milky Way galaxy; so are you. It's right here.
What is smaller the moon sun earth or the milky way?
Our moon is the smallest.
