Life is supported on earth and not the sun or moon because, earth is the only planet with oxygen and the gasses people need to breathe. There is also water, light, and the earth is always a comfortable temperature. The moon and the sun are either to hot or to cold
and don't have oxygen to breathe.

How the moon gets light on full moon night when there is earth bigger than moon is in between moon and sun?
Not entirely sure, but it sounds like your talking about a lunar eclipse. This happens when the earth, moon, and sun are aligned so closely that the earth's shadow hangs over the moon entirely. In this scenario, we see the moon with a reddish hue/color. This is an effect of gravity, believe it or not. As light passes the earth, earths gravity draws the light towards it, bending light rays (and subsequent photons) towards earth. Because of wavelength differences, the color red bends more than others and thusly paints our moon in that hue. You may also be simply inquiring about simple full moons. This is possible due to the fact that the moon isn't normally blocked from the sun by earth. As in, if your where to be on the moon, you would be able to directly see the sun even when on the "night-side" of earth. The Earth and Sun operate on a similar orbital plane, or flat surface, while the moon orbits earth on an entirely different, constantly changing plane. This is the reason we can observe partial moons (full moon, half moon, crescent, etc.) When the moon is unobstructed by earth's shadow, we see a full moon. When our moon is partially in and the earth's shadow, we see a 3/4, half or crescent moon. When the moon is fully within earth's shadow, we see a lunar eclipse, or a red moon.
Are the Moon's phases caused by Earth's rotation?
No. The phases of the Moon are caused by our moon rotating around the Earth. When the moon is between the Sun and Earth, the face nearest to us is not illuminated and in the Moon's own shadow, and this aspect we call 'New Moon'. When the moon is on the side of Earth farthest from the sun, it is fully illuminated, and this we call 'Full Moon'. [Due to the distribution of mass in the moon, it keeps one face towards Earth.] The earth rotates once every 24 hours, so we see the moon in our sky once a day - but sometimes in the daytime - when it is approaching 'New'. But the moon orbits the earth once every 28 days (approx) and this motion is the one that is responsible for the phases of the Moon. !
What is the condition necessary for eclipse to occur?
a solor eclipse happens when the moon passes in front of the earth and son at a perfect angle and cast a shadow so every thing would be in total and upper most darkness unless you are far or not close to the eclipse sight.
Where is the moon located during an annular eclipse?
No - the Earth's shadow (at the distance of the Moon) is much larger than the diameter of the Moon.No - the Earth's shadow (at the distance of the Moon) is much larger than the diameter of the Moon.No - the Earth's shadow (at the distance of the Moon) is much larger than the diameter of the Moon.No - the Earth's shadow (at the distance of the Moon) is much larger than the diameter of the Moon.
Name of the moon in avatar?
Depends. In "James Cameron's Avatar," the moon is called Pandora. The answer below applies to "The Last Airbender." Sokka's first love, Princess Yue of the Northern Water Tribe, became the moon. This was possible because as a baby she was stillborn, however her father placed her in the Moon Spirit pool and she came back to life. Therefore she had some of the moon's life in her and was able to save it when the Fire Nation killed the moon. The original moon's name was Twee.
What best explains why there is life on earth but not on the moon?
The moon has no atmosphere to support life.
Can the earth's moon support life?
Yes, but not as we know it.
Can a planet be able to support life if there is no moon?
yes!
Why isn't the moon able to support life?
The moon has no atmosphere, no water, and not protection from solar radiation.
Can Jupiter support some form of life?
No, because it's gaseous. But the moon Europa might be able to support life on the seafloor.
Why does moon not support life like the earth does?
Humans need air and water. The Moon hasn't got either.
What is the difference between the moon and the earth?
the moon is smaller than the earth and
Could there ever be life on the moon?
no because the moon is not able to support life actually, if the moon's inner core became liquid, then it would be highly likely that it could support life, as a liquid core cause's the magnetic field which stop the solar winds from blowing away the atmosphere. plus the moon would have some sort of magnetic field from earth. there probably was some sort of life on the moon, alike bacteria and such, we have found water on the moon so life should have formed there. ofcourse naturally no life will apear on the moon due to it's atmosphere being very very small.
How are are the earth and moon different?
The moon has easily visible craters, but the ones on earth have mostly weathered away. The Earth has wind and the moon doesn't. Earth has atmosphere but the moon doesn't have one.
Scientist often wonder if the moon Titan could support life that is because it has something no other moon has?
does saturn's moon support life
Was there life on the moon?
No, The moon was created when Earth could not sustain life. The moon was pulled into Earth's Gravitational pull and now orbits around Earth.
What does the moon not support life?
The moon does not support life for a few reasons: One being that it has no oxygen which is required for life (as we know it, anyways). Two because it has no water which is also required for life. And three, there is no food which would make living there difficult for humans as we would have to constantly be getting food from Earth.
