Why does the moon seems to change its shape as it moves around the earth?
The moon seems to change shape as it moves around the earth because the moon is always half lit by the sun. The amount of the lit half we see changes because the moon revolves around the earth.
How does the Moon's appearance change during the phases?
It moves around the earth. So the earth makes a shadow on the moon.
Are the seasons caused by the movement of Earth's axis?
The seasons are cause by the tilt of the axis of the Earth. The rotation about axis itself moves very little
Why the moon stars and sun change positions in the sky?
First of all, the stars don't move. The Earth moves around the Sun. The moon moves around the Earth and the whole SOLAR SYSTEM is moving.
Why does the time it takes the Sun to cross the sky change with the seasons?
Because the Earth is tilted relative to its orbit, the noon sun appears to move higher and lower as the Earth moves around the sun. This changes the angle of the sun as it hits the Earth and is one primary reason for the seasons. As the noon sun gets higher the place the sun rise and sun set move north. This apparent movement makes the path the sun follows longer and longer through the sky. This change in the number of daylight hours is the other reason for the change in seasons.
Is the moon always closer to the earth?
no because when the seasons change the sun moves around it goes back and fourth

Why does the eqauter have no seasons?
Truth be told, It does have seasons. Maybe they aren't major, but they still are seasons. And it has seasons because the Earth is at a tilt in its axis, causing it to, when it moves around the sun, change also because the tilt never changes, meaning it only goes one way and it stays that way. Hope I helped! :)
How do the tilt of the earth's axis and earth's movement around the sun cause seasons?
If the earth moves to point a in the image above what season will the northern hemisphere experience
Why do Earth's continents change shape and move around the planet?
because of the position of the moon as it moves around the earth
What proves that the earth moves around the sun?
the stars change as we move and the sesons
Are Seasons on Earth are mostly caused by variations in the distance between the Earth and the Sun as the Earth moves in its orbit around the Sun?
No, the tilt of the axis away from the perpendicular is the main cause.
What does the earth cause when it moves?
It causes day and night. And it also causes the seasons on earth.
Why do seasons change as earth moves around the sun when does this happen?
It's because of the tilt of the Earth on its axis. If there was no tilt, there would be no seasons. As the Earth go round the Sun, sometimes the North Pole is tilted to the Sun and we get northern Summer and South Winter. But 6 months later, the South Pole is closer to the Sun and we get southern Summer and northern Winter.

What are the 2 ways earth move around the sun?
earth moves in two ways rotation: moving about its own axis (causes day and night) revolution: orbiting around the sun (causes seasons)
