How big is the earth to the moon?

The moon is about 1/4th the size of the Earth.


When the Sun passes between the Moon and the Earth you have?

The sun has never passed between the moon and the Earth. If it did, we'd all be in big trouble, as the space between the moon and the Earth isn't even big enough for the sun to fit through. Fortunately, we don't have much to worry about, since the sun is almost 400 times as far away from us as the moon is.


In a lunar eclipse is the moon between the sun and earth?

No. In a lunar eclipse Earth is between the sun and the moon, thus casting a shadow on the moon. When the moon passes between Earth and the sun it is a solar eclipse, to an observer on Earth, the moon eclipses the sun.


What are the differences between a solor eclipse lonor eclipse new moon and full moon?

A lunar eclipse means the Earth is exactly between the Sun and the Moon, so the Earth's shadow falls onto the Moon. A new moon means the Moon is roughly between the Sun and the Earth, so you can't see the Moon that easily because the side that is lit by the Sun is pointing away from us. If during a new moon the Moon should become _exactly_ between the Earth and the Sun, some people on Earth (if standing in the right place) would see a big chunk cut out of the Sun where the Moon is blocking its light, causing a shadow to go on the Earth. The Moon might even completely block out the Sun's light for a few minutes. This is called a Solar Eclipse.

Why does the moon go throgh phases?

The phases of the moon are determined by its position relative to the Earth and the Sun. As the Moon orbits Earth, different portions of its illuminated half are visible from Earth, creating the different phases. This is due to the changing angles between the Moon, Earth, and the Sun.
