Where is the sun when you view a full moon?
When you view a full moon, the sun is directly opposite the moon, which is why the moon appears fully illuminated. This positioning is known as "opposition" and it occurs when the sun, Earth, and moon are in a straight line with Earth in the middle.
What is the blocking of sunlight to the moon that occurs when earth is directly between the sun and moon?
When earth is directly between the sun and moon, it is a lunar eclipse.when moon is directly between earth and passes across the sun, it is a solar eclipse.
When the earth the moon and the sun are in line what can occur?
When the Earth, Sun and Moon are in line an eclipse can occur.
What best describes how a new moon occurs?
A new moon occurs when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun, with the side of the moon facing Earth in darkness. This alignment causes the side of the moon illuminated by the sun to be hidden from view, resulting in a dark night sky with no visible moon.
Why does the solar eclipse happen?
A solar eclipse happens if the moon, in its orbit around the earth, is located in the direct line of sight from the earth to the sun. The effect would be that the moon blocks the view of the sun.
What will happen if the earth get between the sun and moon?
When the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, it is a Full Moon but when the Sun, Moon and Earth are directly in line - we will get a lunar eclipse.
Why do eclipses happen and how?
A solar eclipse is when the sun, moon and the Earth all line up in a straight line, and the moon is directly in front of the sun, blocking its light and submerging us in darkness for a while. A lunar eclipse is when the Earth is directly in between the sun and moon, and as they move, the sun casts a shadow of the Earth onto the moon.
When do the tidal bulges created by the moon and sun line up and increase tidal range?
Twice a month. When the moon is directly opposite the sun and when it is in line with the sun in relation to the earth. These are called spring tides.
Why do they call the moon the new moon when it is directly overhead?
Because they're ignorant, whoever "they" are. The term "New Moon" does not mean the Moon is directly overhead, it means that the Moon is (approximately) between the Earth and the Sun.

Where is the sun when you view a full moon?
When you view a full moon, the sun is directly opposite the moon, which is why the moon appears fully illuminated. This positioning is known as "opposition" and it occurs when the sun, Earth, and moon are in a straight line with Earth in the middle.
Why does the earth not block the sun from reaching the moon during a full moon?
The earth does not block the sun during *most* full moons because it is not *directly* between the sun and moon. If the earth does block the sun from the moon, then the earth must be directly between the sun and moon. This will happen at full moon, since the three must be in a line, and you would see the full moon, then the eclipse, then the moon fully illuminated again.
What is the moon called when it is between the earth and the sun?
It is called a new moon (tiny part or no part of the Moon illuminated). If the Moon is directly between the Earth and Sun, it can cause a solar eclipse.
What is the blocking of sunlight to the moon that occurs when earth is directly between the sun and moon?
When earth is directly between the sun and moon, it is a lunar eclipse.when moon is directly between earth and passes across the sun, it is a solar eclipse.
What moon phase has earth directly between the sun and moon?
The full moon. Earth is ALMOST directly between the sun and moon, so the sun is "behind" us when we look at the moon. That is why the moon appears entirely lit to us, and is considered "full". If Earth IS directly between the sun and moon, which does not happen during most full moons, then there is a lunar eclipse.
Is a full moon moon when the sun is directly hitting the Earht or is that a new moon?
I don't know what you mean, the Sun always "hits the Earth directly". A full moon happens when the Moon is opposite to the Sun in the sky.
When the earth the moon and the sun are in line what can occur?
When the Earth, Sun and Moon are in line an eclipse can occur.
