Why is there always a high tide on the other side of the earth directly opposite the moon?
High tide occurs on the side of the Earth facing the moon due to the moon's gravitational pull, which causes water to bulge toward it. Simultaneously, there is also a high tide on the opposite side of the Earth because the Earth itself is being pulled slightly toward the moon, creating a centrifugal effect on the water. This results in two high tides occurring simultaneously: one facing the moon and one on the opposite side.

How is the position of the full moon in relation to Earth and the sun different from the position of the full Venus in relation to Earth and the Sun?
When the moon is full, it is on exactly the opposite side of the Earth from the sun. A map of this would have the sun on the right side of a piece of paper, then Earth to its left followed by the moon to the left of the Earth.When Venus is full in the sky, it is on the opposite side of the sun from Earth. A drawing of this would have Venus all the way to the left, followed by the sun, then the Earth in a straight line (or vice versa), as long as they are directly on either side of the sun.

What is the phase of the moon when its halfway around its orbit?
That depends on what you want to call the 'beginning' of the moon's orbit.-- New Moon and Full Moon are opposite each other, 1/2 orbit apart.-- First Quarter and Last Quarter are opposite each other, 1/2 orbit apart.-- Each day of Waxing Crescent, and the Waning Gibbous that combines with itto form a complete disk, are opposite each other, 1/2 orbit apart.-- Each day of Waning Crescent, and the Waxing Gibbous that combines with itto form a complete disk, are opposite each other, 1/2 orbit apart.Hey! I just realized that every possible shape of the moon, and the shapethat combines with it to form a complete disk, are opposite each other,1/2 orbit apart.
How many moons placed next to each other would extend from one point on the horizon to the point on the opposite side of the horizon?
It would take approximately 360 moons placed next to each other to extend from one point on the horizon to the point directly opposite on the horizon, assuming each moon is the same size as Earth's moon.
