Why does the tide come in out?

There is a high tide on the side of the Earth that is opposite to the Moon. This is because of the differences in the strength of the Moon's gravity felt at different places on Earth. The water on that far side is subject to a smaller gravitational pull than the center of the Earth and is so is "left behind", forming a tidal bulge. See the "related link" below.


Is moonshade deadly?

You said, "moonshade," right? There are a couple of problems here. I thought you might be referring to a plant, but there is no such plant ("Moonshadow" is closest, but it's not poisonous.) So I have to assume that by "moonshade" you mean the shade of the moon. That's a lunar eclipse. This occurs when the moon is between the Earth and the Sun. The moon may take a beating in this situation, but it shields the Earth.

Which planet is most similar in size to earth?

Venus is the closest in size but it is a very different planet in all other respects. The atmosphere is very thick and almost completely made of carbon dioxide. Venus suffers from severe global warming with surface temperatures of 400-500 degrees C.Venus is the closest to Earth in terms of size comparison, it is a little smaller.venus is closest, and then mars is half the size. (of earth)Venus is closest to Earth's size.Venus is 81.5% the mass of Earth. It's the closest in size to Earth.Venus is roughly the same size as Earth.Venus is very close to the size of the Earth, only about 5% smaller.Venus is the closest size to Earth and is sometimes called "Earth's sister planet." Its diameter is 95% of Earth's but its mass is only 81% as much.It is also often the closest planet to Earth, except when it is on the opposite side of the Sun, when either Mars or Mercury may be the closest in distance. The density of Venus is the closest to the Earth's density of the major planets.Venus, which is called the "sister planet" because of it being almost equal in size as the EarthVenus is the planet closest in size to the Earth's size.The equatorial diameter of Venus is about 95% the size of the earth's equatorial diameter. Venus also happens to be the planet whose: -- orbit is closest to the size of earth's orbit -- minimum distance from earth is the least -- appearance in our sky is brighter than any other object except the sun and moon -- mass is closest to the earth's mass -- density is closest to the earth's densityVenus

How many planets away is the moon from the earth?

The moon is Earth's closest neighbor in space and the only natural object to orbit it. Counting it in "planets away from Earth" does not make any sense as the planets revolve around the sun, not Earth.


What is the closest neighbor?

The order of the planets:Mercury, Venus, Earth Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Dwarf Planets.It depends on what heavenly body you talk about. If you talk about the planetary neighbor, that would be Venus (often called Earth's twin) in the closest distance of 38 million kilometers. If you talk about any heavenly body, it would be its own moon (officially called The Moon), being 221,463 miles as its closest distance from the Earth.
