How would the moon move if earths mass increased?
If Earth's mass increased, then the gravitational force between Earth and the moon would also increase. The moon would be more strongly attracted to Earth. The acceleration between the 2 would increase also.
When the Moon's shadow hits earth or earths shadow hits the moon then what occurs?
it would be an ECLIPSE! ;p
How many earths fit across the moon?
0.578987334321 Earths fit into the moon because the moon is smaller than the Earth
Why aren't stars between Earth and the moon?
A star is too large to fit between the earth and the moon and/or so massive that it would tear apart the earth and moon before it got there. If there were a star between the earth and the moon, there would be nobody around to know it.
What is the Earth's umbra?
The umbra of a moon is the completely shaded, or hidden from light, part of the moon. The penumbra of a moon is the part that is only partially hidden, or shaded from light. The antumbra is completely in the light, and no shadows are cast upon it.

What is the Difference between moon and earths size?
earth is bigger than the moon
Are medieroids between the earth and the earths moon?
no , there are none. and its meteoroids. not medieroids. -.-"
How many Earths fit in the space between the Moon and the Earth?
About 25
What planet or moon would people on earth consider to be the star of the night?
earths moon
If earths moon was destroyed what would happen on earth?
If earth's moon was destroyed, then we will no longer have normal tide cycles.
What would happen to the earths tide if the moon was further away?
High tides would be smaller and low tides would be bigger, but would still occur. The cause of the tides is the gravitational attraction between the earth and moon, and to a lesser extent, between the earth and sun. If the moon were further from the earth, its gravitational attraction would be less strong, and its effect on the earth's liquid envelope would be correspondingly less.
Is the pull of gravity between the moon and the earth keeps the moon orbiting the earth?
yes, earths gravitational pull is strong enough to pull the moon into orbit around it.
When the Moon's shadow hits earth or earths shadow hits the moon then what occurs?
it would be an ECLIPSE! ;p
When is the sun and the earths moon at their closest point?
That would be at the moment of the New Moon closest to perihelion, which happens to be the one closest to New Years day or January 2. The moon is then in between the Earth and sun, while the Earth/Moon system is closest to the sun.
What is the different between solar eclipse to lunar eclipse?
A lunar eclipse is where the Earth comes between the moon and sun, so that light to the moon is blocked out by Earths shadow. A solar eclipse is where the moon comes between the sun and Earth, blocking out sunlight to the Earth.
What is the atmosphere of the earths moon?
There is no atmosphere on the Earth's moon.
