What is the relative size and distance relationships among the sun earth and moon?
The earth's diameter is 3.67 times the moon's, and 0.0092 of the sun's diameter. The distance to the sun is 391 times the distance to the moon. The moon's diameter is 0.283 of the earth's, and 0.0025 of the sun's. The distance to the earth is 0.0026 times the distance to the sun. The sun's diameter is 109 times the earth's, and 400 times the moon's diameter. On the average over a month, the earth and moon are at equal distances from the sun.
Can you see the moon phases in space?
The phases of the moon are caused by the relative positions of the sun, the moon and the observer. It is possible to see phases of the moon in space depending on your position relative to the sun and the moon.
What are the relative positions of the Moon Earth and Sun when the tidal bulges are at their largest?
In a line. Sun, Moon, Earth or Sun, Earth, Moon
Does the sun sit behind the moon?
The sun can sometimes be behind the moon, it depends on where the moon, earth and sun are relative to each other.
How do the moon phases depend on the relative positions of the sun the moon and the earth?
For example, when the Moon is opposite to the Sun, it is full moon; when it is in the same direction as the Sun, it is new moon.
What is keeping the distances between the sun earth and the moon?
Gravity
Where can you find a website showing not the phases of the moon but the relative placement of the moon in the sky?
The relative position in the sky (relative to the Sun) is completely related to the phase. For example, at full moon the Moon will be opposite the Sun (an angle of almost 180 degrees), at new moon it will be near the Sun (an angle near zero degrees), and at half-moon it will be at a 90 degrees angle.
What units are stellar distances expressed in?
Stellar distances are measured in light-years, which is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun.
