Either a Solar Eclipse- (Sun-Moon-Earth) or a Lunar Eclipse- (Sun-Earth-Moon). These are both straight lines.

What occurs when the sun moon and earth are in a line?

When the sun, moon, and Earth are in a line, it creates either a lunar or solar eclipse, depending on the position of the moon. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow on the moon. During a solar eclipse, the moon is between the sun and the Earth, blocking the sunlight from reaching the Earth.

What are the relative positions of the Moon Earth and Sun when the tidal bulges are at their largest?

During spring tides, when the tidal bulges are at their largest, the Moon, Earth, and Sun are aligned in a straight line with the Moon between the Earth and the Sun. This alignment causes the gravitational forces of the Moon and Sun to combine, leading to higher high tides and lower low tides.


Why do you see different phases of the moon if the same side is always facing the earth?

The phases of the moon are the result of the ever-changing positions of the Earth, moon, and sun relative to one another. When the moon and the sun are on opposite sides of the earth (whereby the sun, earth, and moon form a straight line), a full moon occurs. When the moon and sun are on the same side of the earth (whereby the sun,moon, and earth form a straight line), a new moon occurs.


When does earth have an eclipse?

When the Sun, Earth and Moon line up exactly, an eclipse occurs. If the alignment is sun, Moon, Earth, then it is a solar eclipse. If the alignment is Sun, Earth, Moon, then we have a lunar eclipse.
