Why is it that the Earth revolves around the moon?

Ummmm.... No. The Moon orbits the Earth. The Earth orbits the Sun. The Sun orbits the center of the galaxy. Light things in orbit, heavier things in the center of the orbit. Well not exactly, they revolve around their common center of mass. This may or may not be at the exact center as far as distance. The common center of mass of the Moon and the Earth is located inside the earth, but not at the center of the Earth.

Does the moon orbit the sun or earth?

The combination of the Earth and Moon orbits the sun. That is, their common center of mass orbits the sun. Their common center of mass is the place where the pivot would have to be if the Earth and the Moon were on opposite ends of a see-saw. At the same time, both the Earth and the Moon are orbiting their common center of mass ... which is actually located inside the Earth, because the Earth has about 80 times as much mass as the moon has. Viewed by an observer on the sun, the Earth is in an elliptical orbit around the sun with tiny, almost imperceptible wiggles in it, and the Moon is also in an elliptical orbit around the sun, with much larger wiggles in it. The wiggles in both orbits repeat with a period of 27.32 Earth-days.

What happens when the moon travels around the earth?

Some things that happen:* You see the Moon in different phases, as the angle Sun-Earth-Moon changes. * The tides, caused by the Moon and the Sun, become strongest when Sun, Earth and Moon are in a straight line, and weakest when they are at right angles.


How are earth Moon's sun aligned during a solar eclipse?

During a solar eclipse, the Earth, Moon, and Sun are aligned in such a way that the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the sunlight and casting a shadow on Earth. This alignment allows for the Moon to obscure the Sun partially or completely from our perspective on Earth.
