Because it is exposing, when full, a relatively large reflective surface to the brightest object in the sky - the sun.
they are all heavenly bodies, they are all in space, they all take place during an eclipse, they all have a gravitational pull, and they all are in the Milky Way
Astronomy
None is. Compared to any astronomical body, all others are moving.
In astrophysics or astronomy, moon, sun, stars are all heavenly bodies. The moon does not appear neither the sun does, it depends upon the cosmic motion of the heavenly bodies inducing the earth. Sun is the centre of the solar system. Earth is the only planet in the solar system which is habitable, so when appearance issue crops up , visibility by the life forms on earth, (other planets cannot "see" the moon or the sun hence they don't exist for them) Moon appear in darkness (it is closest to the earth), when earth passes through the dark phase, illumination to moon is served by the sun.
Most heavenly bodies disappear during the day because of sunlight and they change their positions all of the time. However, the sun itself is often regarded as a heavenly body and is obviously seen during the day. The moon can often be seen in daylight too. Even some planets can at times be seen before it has got really dark, particularly Venus, which is often seen just after sunset or before sunrise.
nearly all heavenly bodies that can observed by the naked eye can be used for navigation.... assuming you can identify the body of course!
The force responsible for keeping planets and other heavenly bodies in their place is gravity. Gravity is a fundamental force of nature that causes objects with mass to be attracted to each other. This gravitational force between celestial bodies keeps them in orbits around each other.
Heavenly bodies include stars, planets, moons, comets, and asteroids, all of which exist in space. Space is a vacuum that contains these objects and is filled with interstellar gas and dust. The distance between these celestial bodies varies greatly, with vast expanses of emptiness separating them.
First of all the category is incorrect its secondary source manipulation. Moon is a heavenly body that is worshipped. I dont think there are video games based on moon.
The earth's orbit, like almost all orbits of heavenly bodies, is an ellipse.
oh yes, all the way, they are SO heavenly filled with bodies of the heavens, that even i cant stand the heavenliness! :0 Planets ARE heavenly bodies, as are stars. Some planets have satellites, and some don't.
The formation of all heavenly bodies, including stars, planets, and moons, is governed by the force of gravity, which causes mass to be drawn together and form larger structures. Additionally, the interplay of other fundamental forces such as electromagnetism and nuclear forces also play a role in shaping the structure and evolution of celestial bodies.
