What causes the moon to appear differently over the course of a month?
The angle between the moon, the Earth, and the sun changes over a month, and since we only see the side of the moon that is reflecting the sun's light, it seems that the moon appears differently.
Why does the moon have more gravitational pull on the Earths oceans than the moon if the sun is so massive?
It is because the moon is much closer to the earth. Gravitational pull decreases in proportion to the square of the distance.
What is he distance from the sun to earths moon in astronomical units?
The distance from the Sun to the Earth is one AU. The Moon orbits the Earth and sometimes is closer and sometimes further away from the Sun, so on average, it is also 1 AU from the Sun.
What is the movements of Earth and the Moon over the course of a month?
Over the course of a month, Earth rotates on its axis approximately 30 times and orbits around the Sun once. Meanwhile, the Moon orbits around Earth approximately 12-13 times, causing its phases to change from new moon to full moon and back.
Which out of the moon or the sun is more attracted to the earths ocean?
The moon has a greater effect than the sun on the earths oceans.
Why does the Earths orbit?
Moon and earth distance
How far is the earths moon from mercury?
Varying from the the distance from the Earth to the Moon + the distance from the sun to the earth + the distance from mercury to the sun, to the distance from the earth to the sun - the distance from mercury to the sun - the distance from the earth to the moon
Distance from earth to moon in scientific notation?
The moon's average distance from earth during the course of one complete orbital revolution (a month) is 384,401,000meters (rounded).
What is the distance from earths to the moon?
The distance actually depends on the orbit of the Earth and Moon, with 221,665 miles at the shortest point and 252,525 miles at the farthest point.
How large is the moon and how far is it from the Earth?
The volume of the moon is 2.1958×1010km3 ( 0.020 Earths), the surface area is3.793×107km2(0.074 Earths), the mass is7.3477×1022kg(0.0123 Earths) and theequatorialcircumference is10,921 km. The moon is an average distance of384,400 km (238,900mi) from Earth.
What does the earths moon mean?
the earths moon helps sustsian the gravity on the earths oceancs keeping them in balance

It is because the moon is much closer to the earth. Gravitational pull decreases in proportion to the square of the distance.
What is the distance from earths moon to sun?
The Earth is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun, with a minimum distance (perihelion) of 147,098,074 km, and a maximum distance (aphelion) of 152,097,701 km. The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around the Earth, with a minimum distance (perigee) of 363,104 km and a maximum distance (apogee) of 405,696 km.
Why can't a vehicle enter the earths atmosphere from space under power?
Of course it can. How else did the astronauts return from their exploration of the moon?
Does the earths moon have gravity?
Yes, the moon has gravity. In fact, all matter has gravity, that is a basic property of matter. Your fingernail has gravity. Not very much, of course, but it does have some.
What is the distance of the earth from its moon?
Average during the course of several months is 238,000 miles.
