When does the moon orbit earth?
The moon is in constant orbit around the earth, all the time.
How would you describe the orbit of the moon in relation to the orbit of the earth?
they are both elliptical orbits with the earth following along a deferent (large circle) and the moon along an epicycle (small circle). the moons rotation around its axis and its revolution around the earth are the same being 27 1/3 days which is why the same lunar hemisphere always faces the earth
How is the Moon's orbit positioned relative to the ecliptic?
The Moon's orbit is tilted at an angle of about 5 degrees relative to the ecliptic plane, which is the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun. This inclination means that the Moon does not always pass directly in front of or behind the Earth in relation to the Sun, leading to the occurrence of eclipses only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align closely at specific points known as nodes. As the Moon orbits Earth, it moves through these nodes, which is why eclipses are relatively rare events.
How long does it take the moon to orbit in earth days?
It takes the Moon about 27.3 Earth days to orbit around the Earth.

Where is the moon in relation to earth and sun when full?
The orbit of the moon around the Earth doesn't quite line up with te orbit of the Earth around the Sun. So when the moon is full, it is on the opposite side of the Earth from the sun, but it is "above/north" or "below/south" of the Earth's orbit.
Does the moon orbit Earth or does the Earth orbit the moon?
The moon orbits Earth.
Does the moon change shape in a full orbit?
No - the moon itself stays the same shape. The phases of the moon change as the earth and moon orbit round the sun. The phases are simply the amount of sunlight reflected in relation to the position of the earth's shadow cast on 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.
When does the moon orbit earth?
The moon is in constant orbit around the earth, all the time.
Do any moons orbit earth?
Yes. One moon orbit Earth (The moon)
Does the moon take to orbit the Earth?
the moon takes 27.32 days to orbit the earth

Days of the orbit of the moon to orbit the earth?
there are roughly 12.5 looner orbits to 1 orbit of the earth The moon takes 27.32 days to orbit the Earth.
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 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.
