The Moon turns on what?

Answer 1

Because it is so close to the Earth the atmosphere messes with the color.

Answer:

"Blood-red" moons happen during "lunar eclipses." And while the first answer is correct in its simplicity, as to why the moon turns red... a little more detailed answer might be: "...as earth blocks out the sun's rays, the sunlight bends around the edge of the earth, and this light is reflected onto the moon. The moon's reddish tint comes from the indirect rays of light being filtered through our atmosphere the visual effect that makes sunsets that striking coral color. Our atmosphere acts like a filter, removing most of the blue-colored light, while leaving the red and orange light displayed on the moon's surface."

Answer 2

The big one you can see in the sky with the naked eye revolves around the planet Earth.

Answer 3

The earth and moon both revolve around their common center of mass. Since the mass of the earth is about 82 times the mass of the moon, the moon is about 82 times as far from the common center of mass as the earth is. That puts the common center of mass something like 2,875 miles from the center of the earth ... which is inside the earth. If you could observe the pair from a stable position that's not gravitationally influenced by either one, you'd see the earth wobbling around a point inside of itself, and the moon revolving around the same point but a quarter million miles away from it, both once a month. Without some pretty precise measurements, you'd swear the moon was revolving around the earth. Is that answer good enough to settle the bar bet ?

Answer 4

Counter-clockwise. Looking down on the solar system from the Sun's North pole, all the planets orbit in an anticlockwise direction. Also most planets spin on their own axis in a counter- clockwise direction. The Moon revolves round the Earth in the same counter- clockwise direction as the Earth's spin. Thus, to keep the same face pointing to the Earth while it makes a revolution round the Earth the Moon must also rotate in an counter- clockwise direction on its own axis.

Answer 5

Of course the Moon revolves around the Earth!

Strictly speaking, Moon and Earth revolve around their common "center of mass", but this is somewhere inside the Earth.

Answer 6

Revolve.

Both, actually. The Moon is "tidally locked" to the Earth, with the same side always facing the Earth. So it revolves AROUND the Earth, and ROTATES on its own axis, with the same period; about 27 days.

Answer 7

The term "moon" is usually associated with a body that is orbiting a planet. In that light, there are no moons orbiting the sun. It could be argued that moons orbit (revolve around) the sun as the planets they orbit move in their solar orbits, but it is doubtful that the idea that the sun has a moon or moons would be widely accepted.

Answer 8

Half of the moon is always lighted by the sun. A new moon is when it's in a position

where we can't see any of the lighted half. A full moon is when it's in a position where

we can see all of the lighted half.

Answer 9

the earth has to rotate or one side will be dark and also has to go around the sun due to the gravitational pull

also the only reasaon it spins is because another planet collided with us and momentem is still going

Answer 10

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.
