Which motion causes moon changes?

The motion of the Moon orbiting the Earth, and the Earth and the Moon both orbiting the Sun, constantly alters the appearance of the sunlight striking the Moon's surface, as viewed from Earth. This changes in light and shadow gives the different phrases of the Moon.


What class of motion did Aristotle attribute to motion of the moon?

Aristotle attributed the motion of the moon to the class of "natural motion," which he believed was a type of motion that occurs in accordance with the inherent nature of an object. He considered celestial bodies, including the moon, to move in perfect circular orbits, reflecting the divine and unchanging nature of the heavens. This perspective distinguished celestial motion from terrestrial motion, which he viewed as more chaotic and influenced by the four elements (earth, water, air, and fire).


Which way does the moon revolve?

The moon revolves around the Earth in a counterclockwise direction. This motion is called orbital motion, and it takes about 27.3 days for the moon to complete one orbit around the Earth.


How does earth's predictable motion effect the moon?

Earth's predictable motion, specifically its rotation and orbit around the sun, causes the moon to exhibit regular phases and tides. The gravitational interaction between Earth and the moon is also influenced by Earth's predictable motion, leading to tidal forces that affect the moon's orbit and rotation.


What statement below best describes the motion of the moon relative to the stars?

There is no statement below that even remotely addresses that topic.

What real motion of the moon causes the pattern of moon phases?

the rotation of the moon causes the pattern of the moon phase.


What planet has a moon that exhibits retrograde motion?

Neptune has a moon named Triton that exhibits retrograde motion. Retrograde motion is when a moon orbits its planet in the opposite direction of the planet's rotation.


On the night when you were watching the Moon at sunset and then at 1000 its overall motion in the sky during that time was?

The Moon's overall motion (apparent motion) in the sky was from East to West.


How does a moon's motion compare to a planet's motion?

They both spin on an axis.

How can you correct the date on your Google Earth - Sky Search Moon - in - Motion?

You should be able to correct it by searching around in the sub-folders for Moon in Motion.


Weathering and erosion on the moon?

Can't happen. Weathering takes air in motion (wind), and erosion takes water in motion, and there's none of either on the moon.


How long does it the moon to complete each motion?

It takes 1 month for the moon to complete each orbit but takes 1 day for it to complete 1 motion

Why did Newton believe there was a force acting on the moon?

Isaac Newton believed there was a force acting on the moon because he observed that the moon's motion could be explained by the same laws of motion and gravity that govern objects on Earth.


What part of the ocean does the motion of the moon influence?
