What is the moons relationship with the sea?
The moon, being so close to us, has a gravitational pull on the oceans. So without the moon, the oceans may have risen up and killed us all
How can you see the moon when its so far away?
It's relatively big & close to earth. The light of the sun shines on it which makes it visible to us.
Why does moon look to us illuminated?
It appears illuminated to us because we see the reflection of the Sun's light upon it. Some of it bounces back to Earth and to your eye, sensing the light. Only the portion of the moon that is lit by the Sun during a given moon phase will show as illuminated, giving us the images of the half moon, full moon and so on.
Why does the moon appears bright at night?
The moon like all of us, likes to look and feel good. That's why he polishes himself at night so he can look bright and make some dates with hot stars in the universe.
When the Moon is at its new phase you cannot see it up in the sky that night?
The moon is below the horizon during the nighttime hours when the moon is new but even when it is above the horizon it can't be seen because the shadowed side of the moon is facing us on Earth and the moon is so close to the sun that it is lost in the sun's glare.
When there is a full moon why does the moon look so close to us?
I'm not so sure that it always does, but anyway, if it does, it's an optical illusion.
Which is the biggest the sun or the moon?
The Sun is ALOT bigger than the moon but the moon looks bigger because it is so close to us.

Can the moon kill us if to close to earth?
It's not going to happen, so there is no point in worrying about it. As the centuries pass, the moon is gradually getting farther away from us.
Why doesn't the moon get attracted by the Sun's gravity and orbit it instead?
because the moon is close to the earth, earth's gravity is more powerful ! so that why it is near to us.
How close are you to the moon?
We are quit far from moon as monn leaves us a few millions kilometres from earth

What moon phase has earth directly between the sun and moon?
The full moon. Earth is ALMOST directly between the sun and moon, so the sun is "behind" us when we look at the moon. That is why the moon appears entirely lit to us, and is considered "full". If Earth IS directly between the sun and moon, which does not happen during most full moons, then there is a lunar eclipse.
How are new moon and full moon formed?
50% of the moon is always illuminated by the sun (although which 50% it is keeps changing as the moon rotates). New Moon occurs when we look directly at the entire dark half of the moon. Full Moon occurs when we look directly at the entire lighted half of the moon. Of course, we can't travel around the moon to look at different parts of it, so the moon obligingly moves around US, once every 27.32 days.
Why did the us want to put a man on the moon?
because they wanted to know how the moon would look like
