What type of moon happens when The moon and sun are on the same side of Earth?
A new moon occurs when the Moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, with the Sun's light illuminating the side of the Moon facing away from Earth. This alignment creates a moon that is not visible from Earth.
What causes the moon to change what phase it is in?
The moon is always half illuminated by the sun. As the moon travels in its orbit around the Earth, the amount of the lighted-half that we can see changes, depending on the moon's position. There's nothing mysterious, difficult, or complicated about it. Take a flashlight and a soccer ball into a dark room. Turn on the flashlight, aim it at yourself, back off several feet, and then hold the soccer ball up at arm's length. Holding the soccer ball out in front of you, turn around slowly, and watch how you see different amounts of the lighted half of the ball, and different amounts of the dark half of the ball, depending on where it is in its path around you.
Is the same ball float in moon as earth placed in a bucket contained water?
Yes.
Does the moon get dark during the lunar eclipse?
The darkness of the new moon is caused by a sort of eclipse, but not an eclipse of something between the sun and the Earth. During a new moon, the Earth is positioned between the moon and the sun, thus shadowing the moon.
Why is the mass of a bowling ball the same on earth and on the moon but the weight of the bowling ball on earth different on the moon?
You need to understand that MASS is an intrinsic property of matter, the bowling ball will have the same mass no matter where it is. WEIGHT is the pull of gravity on matter. As gravity is weaker/less on the Moon as compared to Earth, the same size lump of matter (the bowling ball) will weigh less on the Moon as it does on Earth. The problem in understanding this difference happens because as we live on Earth we confused MASS and WEIGHT before we understood the physics. On Earth a 1 Kg mass weighs 1 Kg, however if we take that 1 kg mass to the Moon where gravity is only one third of that on Earth it will only weigh 1/3 Kg. However, there is another property of matter that is related directly to its Mass and that is the energy you need to put in to get it to move (or stop moving) - this is called INERTIA. Weather on the Moon or on the Earth the INERTIA of the bowling ball will remain the same. If you roll it to another person on a horizontal surface on the Moon or on Earth, the person you roll it to will find it just as hard to stop in both places.
What shape is earth's moon?
a ball
Could you hit a golf ball further on earth or the moon?
the moon
Is the moon a big ball of gas?
No, the moon is not a big ball of gas. It is a solid celestial body that orbits around the Earth.
What is the earth and moon made of?
The Earth has many layers of soil and rock. The moon is just a big ball of soft rock.
What is earth and moon made of?

How do you make a model of the moon and earth?
Use a styrofoam ball
If you were standing on moon with a ball in your hand and you let go of it the ball would do what?
The ball would float and slowly fall to the surface of the moon due to the moon's weaker gravity compared to Earth.
During the summer does the earth face the moon?
some part of the earth ALWAYS faces the moon. ALWAYS (its a big ball we live on)
How can a bouncing ball on the moon compare to a bouncing ball on earth?
A bouncing ball on the moon would bounce higher and for a longer period of time compared to a bouncing ball on Earth due to the moon's lower gravity. The reduced gravitational force on the moon allows objects to accelerate more slowly towards the surface, resulting in higher bounces with less energy loss.
What type of moon is it when the moon and sun are on the same side of Earth?
It is a new moon.
What is going to happen if you Imagine tying a string to a ball and twirling it around you how is it similar to the moon orbiting earth?
The string acts like the gravity of the earth. the circular motion of the ball imitates the orbit of he moon.
Does a golf ball fall when dropped on the Moon?
Yes, a golf ball will fall when dropped on the Moon due to the presence of gravity. However, the acceleration of gravity on the Moon is weaker than on Earth, so the ball will fall more slowly.
