The Moon gives the Earth tides and the Earth keeps the Moon orbiting the Earth because of the gravitational pull.

What is the size relationship between earth and moon?

The Earth has a diameter of 12742km on average. It is a slightly squashed sphere though, due to its spin pushing out at the equator. Its polar diameter is 12714km, while its diameter at the equator is 12756km. The diameter of the moon is 3474km.


Which eclipses occur when the tilt of the moon's orbit around the earth is tilted at zero to the earth's orbit?

This is when a Solar Eclipse occurs, the total eclipse happens when the moon's apparent size is bigger than the sun's and the moon blocks out nearly all of the sun's light - thus making stars appear.


How many rotations does the earth make once the moon makes one complete orbit around the earth?

it makes one orbit


How many days away is new moon to full moon?

It takes 14 days or 15 days, half of the lunar month of 29.5 days. A full moon has the Moon behind the Earth with respect to the Sun, whereas a new moon has the Moon between the Earth and the Sun, as it orbits Earth. The Moon's orbital period is only 27.3 days, but both the Moon and Earth are revolving around the Sun, which lengthens the time between full illumination (or zero illumination) of the Moon's Earth-facing hemisphere.


Why do you have tide?

When the earth rotates, it has the gravitational pull like o the earth and so does the Sun. When the Sun and the moon pull at the same time they make it bulge out on both sides. The way i remember it is when you squish a rubber band and it comes out on both sides evenly, it does the same thing as the Earth does. Also, wherever the moon is, is where you will have high tide because its where the biggest bulge is. You will also have high tide on the opposite side because of the Sun. The other sides is where there is low tide. Example: When the Sun, moon and Earth are all in a straight line, high tides would be where the moon and Sun is (on the sides) and the low tides would be on the top and bottom.

What is the relationship between the moon phases diagram, the sun, and the earth?

The relationship between the moon phases diagram, the sun, and the earth is that the moon's appearance changes in a predictable pattern as it orbits the earth, which is illuminated by the sun. The different phases of the moon, such as full moon, new moon, and crescent moon, are a result of the varying positions of the moon, earth, and sun in relation to each other.
