What is the difference between the earths orbit the around the sun an moons orbit around the earth?
The Earth is in direct orbit around the Sun, while the moon is in direct orbit around the earth. The moon progresses around the sun with us, but it orbits the earth as it does so. the moon is in an indirect orbit around the sun.
Does the moon orbit around the sun?
No moon is the sattelite of earth so it orbit around earth only, but in indirect way earth orbit around sun so we can say in that manner that moon orbit around sun while orbiting around earth.
How do the earth sun and moon move in relation to each other?
The earth is in a orbit around the sun and the moon is in an orbit around the earth.
How does the earth sun and moon move around each other?
The sun does not orbit or move around the Earth and moon because the Earth has to orbit the sun while the moon orbits the earth.
Does the moon travel in an orbit around the sun?
The earth and the moon travel in orbit around a common point " the barycenter" As such it would be reasonable to assume that the barycenter that the earth and the moon orbit, inturn orbits the sun

What causes the moon to orbit around the sun?
the moon doesent orbit the sun, the earth orbits the sun and the moon orbits the earth.
Does the moon orbits or circles the sun?
The Moon orbits the Sun. The gravitation of the Earth will provide slight disturbances to the Moon's orbit around the Sun, but mainly, the Moon moves around the Sun.The Moon orbits the Sun.

Is the earths orbit around the sun a cause of the phases of the moon?
No. The moon's orbit around the earth is.
Why is the angle of the orbit (tilt) the moon uses to revolve around the sun?
The orbit of the moon around the sun is a wiggle around the Earth's orbit - because the moon is locked into the Earth's gravitational grasp. The angle of the moon's orbit around the Earth was set by the collision that formed the moon.
How do the earth sun and moon move in relation to each other?
The earth is in a orbit around the sun and the moon is in an orbit around the earth.
What are the differences between the planets and moon?
Planets are in a direct orbit around the sun, while moons are in a direct orbit around a planet, while orbiting the sun.Planets are in direct orbit around the sun. A moon is in orbit around a planet, so is not in a direct orbit around the sun.
How does the earth sun and moon move around each other?
The sun does not orbit or move around the Earth and moon because the Earth has to orbit the sun while the moon orbits the earth.
Is the moon's orbit the same as the earths orbit around the sun?
not quite. The moon circles the Earth, which circles the sun. So the moon's orbit around the sun isn't a smooth track, but consist of a wave like pattern.
Does the earth orbit around the sun and moon?
No. The moon revolves around Earth, and Earth revolves around the sun.
Is the earth's natural satellite the sun?
no, the moon is the Earths natural satellite, the moon is in orbit around the Earth. The whole Earth/Moon system is then in orbit around the sun.
