Why can't the moon be eclipsed when it is halfway between the nodes of it's orbit? It can't be eclipsed because most full moons pass too far north or too far south of the ecliptic and miss Earth's shadow.
It would take the Earth around 93 million miles to reach halfway to the Sun in its orbit. Earth's average distance from the Sun is about 93 million miles, so halfway would be approximately half of that distance.
The phase of the moon when it's halfway around its orbit is a first quarter moon. This occurs when the moon has completed one quarter of its orbit around Earth, with the sun illuminating half of the side facing us.
The precession of the Moon's nodes refers to the gradual change in the orientation of the Moon's orbit, causing the points where its orbit intersects the Earth's orbital plane (nodes) to slowly shift over time. This phenomenon is mainly due to gravitational interactions in the Earth-Moon-Sun system and has a period of about 18.6 years.
well..... in simple words i would say that the solar system means up away in the sky were there are nine planets and the first is mercury, venus, earth, mars, Jupiter, Saturn, uranus, neptune, Pluto - in other words: (my very excellent master just set me nine planets)! or another earth or dimention that consists of nine planets!
Pretty much, yes. You have the spring (vernal) and autumn (autumnal) equinoxes, so it's around that time. Midsummer's day is around the first day of summer. But the equinoxes aren't precisely (to the smallest fraction of a second) halfway between, because the velocity of earth's orbit is constantly changing throughout the year.
A solar eclipse can occur when the line of nodes, the intersection between the orbit of the Moon and the ecliptic plane, aligns with the positions of the Sun and Earth. A lunar eclipse can occur when the line of nodes aligns with the positions of the Sun, Earth, and Moon, casting Earth's shadow on the Moon.
The line of apsides and the line of nodes can coincide, but this is not a common occurrence. The line of apsides defines the orientation of the orbit's elliptical shape, while the line of nodes represents the intersection points of the orbit with a reference plane (usually the plane of the ecliptic). If an orbit is highly inclined or experiences specific gravitational influences, these lines may align, but generally, they are distinct attributes of an orbit.
A "node" is a point where the Moon passes through the ecliptic plane (Earth's orbit around the sun). Because the moon's orbital plane around the Earth is inclined 5 degrees with respect to Earth's orbit around the sun, the Moon's orbit only intersects the Earth's solar orbit every 6 months (approximately). Solar eclipses occur when the Moon touches a node on the line of nodes between the Earth and the Sun. A lunar eclipse occurs when the opposite happens - the moon touches the ecliptic plane when the Earth is between it and the sun.
No, the Oort Cloud is a spherical region of icy objects that lies far beyond the orbit of Neptune, extending out to about halfway to the nearest star. It is not located between Mars and Jupiter, which is where the asteroid belt is found.
It would take the Earth around 93 million miles to reach halfway to the Sun in its orbit. Earth's average distance from the Sun is about 93 million miles, so halfway would be approximately half of that distance.
The lunar nodes are the orbital nodes of the Moon, that is, the points where the orbit of the Moon crosses the ecliptic. The ascending node is where the moon crosses to the north of the ecliptic. The descending node is where it crosses to the south.
The phase of the moon when it's halfway around its orbit is a first quarter moon. This occurs when the moon has completed one quarter of its orbit around Earth, with the sun illuminating half of the side facing us.

If you are reading this you must want the answer. the answer is at the bottom ...... ...... ..... ...... ...... By now u have probably wasted about one minute of your life :) get a brain and use a book not the internet u freak ! :P haha xD
Asteroids
Mercury and Venus orbit between the Sun and Earth.
