Does the earths rotation cause the Moon's phases?
Not only the earth's rotation , the lunar phases change cyclically as the Moon orbits the Earth, according to the changing positions of the Moon and Sun relative to the Earth.
How does the sun change positions during the day?
It is not the sun that is changing positions. It's the Earth's revolving around the sun that is causing the change.
When does the big dipper to change positions?
The Big Dipper does not change positions, Earth moves relative to the Big Dipper all the time.
Why does the earth appear to change shape as it orbits the earth?
The earth can not orbit it's self. Orbit means one body going around another.
What is the process that causes the moon to change phases?
The moon changes phases because different portions of the moon are illuminated by the sun, as seen by observers on Earth. The angle formed by the sun, the Earth, and the moon, is constantly changing as the Earth orbits the sun and the moon orbits the Earth.
Why does the moon apper to change shape as it orbits the earth?
Because of the relative positions of the earth, sun and moon.
What happens as the earth orbits the sun when the tilt remains the same?
North and south hemispheres change relative angles and positions tom the sun and the seasons change.
Does the earths rotation cause the Moon's phases?
Not only the earth's rotation , the lunar phases change cyclically as the Moon orbits the Earth, according to the changing positions of the Moon and Sun relative to the Earth.
Does the Moon's shape change or does how you see it change?
What changes from days to day is the amount of sunlight we see on the moon. As the moon orbits the earth and the earth orbits the sun, the sun hits the moon at a different angle in relation to the earth.
Why the moon stars and sun appear to change positions in the sky?
The sun and stars change positions because Earth moves
Why does the moon change Why does the moon change positions?
Because the Earth is rotating :D
How far is Saturn planet from sun how far is it from earth?
Saturn is 9 AU from the Sun, or 8-10 AU from the Earth, depending on the relative positions in the two orbits.
How is the earth and moon orbit different?
The Earth orbits around the Sun, while the moon orbits around the Earth.
How does the sun change positions during the day?
It is not the sun that is changing positions. It's the Earth's revolving around the sun that is causing the change.
When does the big dipper to change positions?
The Big Dipper does not change positions, Earth moves relative to the Big Dipper all the time.
How does the shadow change throughout the day?
Shadows are all about the Earth's rotation. As the Earth rotates throughout the day, the relative positions of the sun and Earth change. The sun is the primary light source for shadows, and if the light source is changing positions (this is relative to earth), then the shadows will change.
How does temperature change with the seasons?
When the Earth orbits the sun different sides of the earth face the sun.Therefore changing the temperature.
