Earth has about 50 times the volume of the Moon (and 81 times the mass of the Moon).
The Moon orbits around the Earth on an angle so it usually does not go directly behind the Earth. When it does move directly behind the earth, that is when we see a lunar eclipse.
The moon is called a satellite of earth because it revolves around the earth
Many planets have moons; however, if you talk about theMoon, it is the moon that goes around our Earth.Many planets have moons; however, if you talk about theMoon, it is the moon that goes around our Earth.Many planets have moons; however, if you talk about theMoon, it is the moon that goes around our Earth.Many planets have moons; however, if you talk about theMoon, it is the moon that goes around our Earth.
When the moon is full, it's "behind" the earth, that is, in the direction opposite the sun. The three bodies are lined up, with the earth in the middle, like this: Sun ---------------------------------------------------------------------------Earth -- Moon
No.
First the order is |Sun : Moon : Earth| and when the Moon is behind the Earth it is |Sun : Earth : Moon|, which would be a Lunar Eclipse.
The Earth goes around the sun, the moon goes 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.
When a spacecraft goes behind the Moon as observed from Earth, it enters into a temporary radio blackout period known as a lunar occultation. This occurs because the Moon blocks the line of sight between the spacecraft and Earth, interrupting communication signals. Once the spacecraft emerges from behind the Moon, communication is reestablished.
i do ot understand what you are asking but i do believe if the sun goes behind the moon it is called a solar eclipse.
When the Sun and Moon cross paths, it's called a Solar Eclipse. If the Sun is in front of the Earth and the Moon is behind, then it's called a Lunar Eclipse.
The moon changes it's shape as it orbits the Earth. When it goes from a crescent to full, it's called "Waxing". When it goes from Full to crescent it's called "Waning".
The moon is sometimes behind the sun covering certain parts of it and when the earth moves we orbit round the sun and the moon goes behind it so we can see it in the day! If you have anymore questions comment below and post your question xD
During a full moon, the sun, Earth, and moon are in a straight line with the Earth in the middle. The sun illuminates the entire side of the moon facing the Earth, making it appear fully illuminated from our perspective.
New moon (the Earth goes into the shadow of the Moon) Lunar eclipses occur at full moon (the Moon goes into the Earth's shadow)
No, a full moon occurs when the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned with the Earth in the middle. The sun illuminates the entire side of the moon facing Earth, which gives it its full appearance. If the sun is behind and a little above Earth, the moon would not be in the position for a full moon.
