How does the shadow of the earth on the moon have a straight line through it when its half full?
The shadow of the earth never falls on the moon when the moon is half full.
When are the sun moon and earth in a strait line?
Either a Solar Eclipse- (Sun-Moon-Earth) or a Lunar Eclipse- (Sun-Earth-Moon). These are both straight lines.
What is it called when the sun earth and the moon are in straight alignment?
Eclipse
During a total lunar eclipse the moon is in the earths?
During a tota lunar eclipse the Moon is in the Earth;s SHADOW. In a straight line in space, it is The SUN, the Earth, & the Moon. In a total solar eclipse, the straight line is The Sun, The Moon , & the Earth. Notice in the straight line , the Earth & the Moon 'swop' places.
Why does the moon travel in a straight line?
The moon doesn't actually travel in a straight line; it orbits around the Earth in an elliptical path due to the gravitational pull between the two. This orbit appears as a curved trajectory from our perspective on Earth.
When the sun and earth are in a straight line it is called?
It could be a lunar eclipse (when the earth is in between both the sun and the moon) or a solar eclipse (when the moon is in between both the earth and the sun).
If yo you were to travel from earth round the moon and back to the earth how far have you traveled?
In a straight line, half a million miles. But you can't do it in a straight line.
Why is the Moon's orbit tilted?
Maybe because the earth's tilted orbital plane causes the moon to orbit tiled, if the earth was straight it has said that the moon would orbit straight line.
How does the shadow of the earth on the moon have a straight line through it when its half full?
The shadow of the earth never falls on the moon when the moon is half full.
What is the arrangement of earth the moon and the sun of a lunar eclipse?
Sun, Earth, Moon. The moon is covered by the Earth's shadow.
When are the sun moon and earth in a strait line?
Either a Solar Eclipse- (Sun-Moon-Earth) or a Lunar Eclipse- (Sun-Earth-Moon). These are both straight lines.
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.
What are the positions of the Sun Earth and the moon during a solar eclipse?
All three in a straight line, with the Moon between the Earth and the Sun.
How is a lunar and solar eclipse alike?
Both lunar and solar eclipses are the result of positioning 3 astronomical bodies (earth, sun and moon) in a straight line relative to the observer. A solar eclipse is observed when the sun, moon, and earth are positioned in a straight line with an observer on the earth. A lunar eclipse is observed when the sun, earth, and moon are in a straight line with an observer on the earth. A lunar eclipse, as observed by an observer on the earth would appear as a solar eclipse as observed by an observer on the moon.
What is it called when the sun earth and the moon are in straight alignment?
Eclipse
When do regular low and high tides occur?
low tides happen when the moon is not in a straight line and make an right angle and high tides is when the moon earth and sun are in a straight line
What are the relative positions of earth the moon and the sun during a solar eclipse?
All three in a straight line, with the Moon between the Earth and the Sun.
