The orbit of the Moon is distinctly elliptical with an average eccentricity of 0.0549.
The orbit of the Earth is distinctly elliptical with an average eccentricity of 0.01671123.
The changing shapes of the moon as it orbits the Earth are due to its position relative to the Sun and the Earth. As the moon orbits the Earth, the amount of sunlight that illuminates the side of the moon facing us changes, causing different portions of the moon to be visible at different times. This creates the different phases of the moon that we observe from Earth.
The moon with the specific name 'The Moon' orbits planet Earth.
The moon reflects sunlight as it orbits the Earth. Its surface appears to change in appearance due to the varying angles at which sunlight hits it, resulting in different phases of the moon as seen from Earth.
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.
The Moon is the planetary body that orbits the Earth.
The Earth orbits around the Sun, while the moon orbits around the Earth.

"An asteroid is a piece of moon that orbits the sun and a moon is a giant rock sphere that orbits earth."
The earth turns on its axis; it orbits around the earth-moon barycenter; it orbits around the sun.
Yes they do. Our moon only orbits our planet - earth.
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.
The sun does not orbit around the moon. The earth orbits the sun and the earths moon (every planet has 1 or more moons) orbits earth.
The moon IS a satellite that orbits earth
