Is the moon's orbit the same as the earths orbit around the sun?
not quite. The moon circles the Earth, which circles the sun. So the moon's orbit around the sun isn't a smooth track, but consist of a wave like pattern.
What is caused by the combination of the light from the sun and the moon's orbit around earth?
The combination of the light from the sun and the moon's orbit around Earth causes the moon to appear differently at different times during the month. This creates the phases of the moon, such as the new moon, full moon, and crescent moon, as we observe from Earth.
Does the earth orbit around the sun and moon?
No. The moon revolves around Earth, and Earth revolves around the sun.
What force keeps the moon in orbit around the sun?
The force that keeps the moon in orbit around the sun is the gravitational force between the sun and the moon. This force causes the moon to continuously fall towards the sun but its orbital motion prevents it from colliding with the sun.
When the moon rotates around the sun what happens to the moon?
The Moon does not orbit the Sun; it orbits the Earth. The Earth orbits the Sun.
Can the moon orbit around the sun?
No, the moon orbits around the Earth, not the sun. This is due to the gravitational pull between the Earth and the moon. The moon's orbit around the Earth is what causes its phases and affects tides on Earth.
What force is responsible for the moon orbiting around the earth and earth orbiting around the sun?
The force of gravity causes the moon to orbit the Earth, and the Earth to orbit the sun.
What causes the moon to orbit earth and earth to revolve around the sun?
Gravity
What causes the moon to orbit the sun?
Nothing does.Simply because the moon does not orbit the sun.The moon orbits Earth, not the sun. And Earth orbits the sun.Gravity is what causes planets and moons to orbit.
Does the moon orbits or circles the sun?
The Moon orbits the Sun. The gravitation of the Earth will provide slight disturbances to the Moon's orbit around the Sun, but mainly, the Moon moves around the Sun.The Moon orbits the Sun.

Is the earths orbit around the sun a cause of the phases of the moon?
No. The moon's orbit around the earth is.

How many years does it take for the moon to go around the sun?
The moon goes around the earth. The earth goes around the sun in a year. So, for purposes of astronomy, the earth and moon are one unit going around the sun. Therefore the moon goes around the sun in one year.
What is caused by the combination of the light from the sun and the moon's orbit around earth?
The combination of the light from the sun and the moon's orbit around Earth causes the moon to appear differently at different times during the month. This creates the phases of the moon, such as the new moon, full moon, and crescent moon, as we observe from Earth.
Is the earth's natural satellite the sun?
no, the moon is the Earths natural satellite, the moon is in orbit around the Earth. The whole Earth/Moon system is then in orbit around the sun.
Does the earth orbit around the sun and moon?
No. The moon revolves around Earth, and Earth revolves around the sun.
Does moon travel in orbit?
Yes. The Moon travels in orbit around the Earth, at the same time that the Earth travels in orbit around the Sun, at the same time that the Sun travels in orbit around the Milky Way, etc.
