What in space changes the tides?
The gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun on Earth's oceans causes tides. The alignment and position of the Moon and Sun relative to Earth affect the strength and timing of tides. Other factors, such as the shape of the coastline and depth of the ocean, can also influence tide patterns.
How do scientists work out if an object from space will hit earth soon?
Orbital ephemera. They consider its position relative to the sun, earth/moon, and other planets. Over a period of days they can determine its orbit, and whether that orbit likely intersects ours.
What are the relative positions of the sun moon and earth during a first quarter moon?
During a first quarter moon, the Earth is positioned between the Sun and the Moon. The Moon is at a 90-degree angle relative to the Earth and the Sun, meaning that half of the Moon's surface is illuminated by sunlight, which appears as a half-moon from Earth. This phase occurs roughly a week after the new moon and is part of the lunar cycle.
Earth's closest neiborb in space is the?
The closest neighbor to Earth in space is the Moon. It is Earth's only natural satellite, located about 384,400 kilometers away.
How are the sun moon and Earth are positioned relative to each other during a new moon and how this alignment changes to produce a full moon?
During the new moon the Moon is between the Earth an the Sun. Hence only the side that cannot be seen from Earth is illuminated, making the moon appear dark. During the full moon the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon so sunlight falls on the side of the moon facing the Earth, making it appear bright.
What relative proportions do the earth and moon have compare to each other?

Can you see the moon phases in space?
The phases of the moon are caused by the relative positions of the sun, the moon and the observer. It is possible to see phases of the moon in space depending on your position relative to the sun and the moon.

What causes the moon to tilt?
The tilt of the Moon's orbit relative to Earth's equator is primarily influenced by gravitational interactions with the Sun, Earth, and other celestial bodies. This tilt, known as inclination, affects the Moon's apparent path in the sky and its position relative to Earth during its orbit.
Why does it look like the moon is changing?
Because the sun, the moon, and the Earth are constantly changing their relative positions with respect to each other, different parts of the moon are illuminated by the sun, from the viewpoint of a given observer at a given time. The part of the moon that is not illuminated can't be seen from Earth, it is just a dark moon against the darkness of space.
What other space object is similar to earth?
Saturn's moon Titan is the most recent object found in space to be similar to Earth.
On a night when you see a full moonwhere are the moonsunand earth relative to each other in space?
At the full moon, the Moon and the Sun are on approximately opposite sides of the world, with the Earth roughly in between them. If the Earth were EXACTLY in between them, we would have a total lunar eclipse. But at the full moon, the Moon is normally a couple of degrees above or below the line from the Sun to the Earth. Partial and penumbral lunar eclipses happen when the Earth is NOT QUITE exactly in between the Sun and the Moon.

Orbital ephemera. They consider its position relative to the sun, earth/moon, and other planets. Over a period of days they can determine its orbit, and whether that orbit likely intersects ours.
Why does the moon apper to change shape as it orbits the earth?
Because of the relative positions of the earth, sun and moon.
What is the nearest natural object to the Earth?
The Moon is the nearest natural object to Earth in space.
Where is the moon when you can see a new moon?
In space. Comment: It's hard to disagree with that. The answer you need is that the Moon is between the Sun and Earth. The alignment isn't usually exact because the Moon's orbit is tilted relative to the Earth's orbit around the Sun. Incidentally, you can't actually see the Moon when it's New Moon.
