Yes, there is only one "space".

No, the moon moves around the Earth as the Earth moves around the Sun and the Sun moves around the Galaxy. When it is Full moon. The Moon is further from the sun than the Earth, When it is the first "half moon" the moon is where the earth will be in about half an hour (but by then the moon will also have moved in more or less the same direction). When it is a "New moon" the moon is closer to the sun than the Earth at that moment. When in the "last half" the Moon is "behind" the Earth, where the Earth was half an hour ago. Mean inclination of the moon's orbit to the solar systems ecliptic is about 5°. The tilt of the Earth with respect to the ecliptic is about 23° so the moon can appear to be in places in the sky that the sun cannot.

Why does the earth and moon always looks the same size?

The Earth and Moon do not always appear to be the same size in the sky. The Moon looks smaller because it is much smaller than Earth and is also much further away. However, during a total solar eclipse, the Moon can appear to be the same size or slightly larger than the Sun due to their relative distances and positioning.


Why does the earth always remains in about the same position in the lunar sky?

The Moon rotates once per orbit, and has the same side of the Moon always facing the Earth. So looking at the Earth from the Moon, it's always in pretty much the same place.Because the Moon rotates at a constant speed but follows an elliptical orbit, there is a little variation; over the course of several months, the Earth would appear to "wobble" a little in the lunar "sky", and would appear to get somewhat smaller and larger as the Moon recedes from the Earth and then gets closer.
