What is the path earth takes around the sun or the path the moon takes around earth?
That would be an elliptical orbit.
The movement of the moon around the earth is called a orbit and follows a path called an?
The movement of the moon around the Earth is called an orbit, and the path it follows is called an elliptical orbit. The moon's orbit is not a perfect circle but rather an elliptical shape, meaning its distance from the Earth can vary as it moves along its path.
I would like more detail about how the moon orbits the Earth and how and when eclipses happen?
The moon orbits the Earth in an elliptical path, completing one orbit roughly every 27.3 days. Eclipses occur when the Earth, moon, and sun align in such a way that one body casts a shadow on another. A solar eclipse happens when the moon comes between the Earth and the sun, blocking the sunlight. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth comes between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow on the moon.
Why isn't there a lunar eclipses every month?
The moon's path around the Earth is related to when an eclipse happens. Most of the time the path of the orbit is a tad above or a tad below the line connecting the Earth and the Sun. Hence no eclipse. There is however a shadow cast by the moon, we are just not in a position to be in the shadow. So when circumstances happen that the path of the orbit of the moon intersect the straight line between the Sun and the Earth we get an Eclipse of Sun or Moon if the path of the Moon's orbit takes through the Earth's shadow.
The path of a satellite orbiting the earth is best described as linear hyperbolic parabolic or elliptical?
Elliptical. The satellite follows a curved path around the Earth known as an elliptical orbit, where it travels at varying distances from the planet.
Why do solar and lunar clips occur?
Solar eclipses occur when the Moon is in the direct path between the Sun and Earth. Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth is in the direct path between the Sun and the Moon.

What is it called when the moon moves around the earth?
This is called its orbit. Strictly, the moon and the earth both orbit their common centre of mass. The path of the moon around Earth is elliptical orbit. It takes about 29 days to complete one orbit of earth by moon.
What distance does the moon travel around the earth?
The moon travels an average distance of about 384,400 kilometers (238,855 miles) around the Earth in its elliptical orbit. This distance can vary slightly due to the moon's elliptical path.
Is the Moon's orbit around earth absolutely straight?
Nope... the moon orbits in an elliptical (egg-shaped) path. It's also 'pulled' through space with the Earth as it travels around the sun. The path of the moon is similar to a corkscrew.

What is an object that moves in an?
An object that moves in an elliptical path around another object could be a satellite orbiting a planet, such as a moon around Earth. The elliptical path follows the laws of gravity and allows the object to maintain a stable orbit.
How often does an eclipes happen?
There are generally two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses each year. Sometimes instead of having one total eclipse, we have two partial eclipses a month apart. The minimum number of eclipses in any year is one; the maximum possible would be five. We get the idea that lunar eclipses are more common than solar eclipses, but that's not true. It SEEMS that way, because solar eclipses (when the Moon's shadow hits the Earth) affect a very small path across the Earth's surface, and people outside this path don't generally notice the eclipse. But a lunar eclipse, when the Earth's shadow darkens the Moon, happens ON THE MOON, and is visible from the entire night half of the Earth. So many more people get to see a lunar eclipse, while only a few are in the path of a solar eclipse.
What is it called the path the moon follows around the earth?
The path that the moon follows around the Earth is called an orbit. The planets going around the sun is called revolution. The moon goes around the Earth in a month.
What is the movement of the moon around earth called?
The movement of the Moon around the Earth is called lunar orbit. It is an elliptical path that the Moon follows as it revolves around the Earth.
