What else can I help you with?
which is true of pluto ?
Pluto has a moon that is about half its size
Does Earth have a tilted orbit?
No. The Earth's orbit is absolutely parallel to the plane of the ecliptic. Of course, the Earth's orbit is DEFINED as the plane of the ecliptic, so this should be no surprise. All of the other planetary orbits are tilted to the plane of the ecliptic, but not by a whole lot. The Moon's orbit, for example, is tilted about 5 degrees to the ecliptic. The axis of the Earth's spin, however, IS tilted by 23.5 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic.
Why do solar and lunar eclipses not form every new and full moon?
Because the lunar orbit is slightly tilted from the plane of the ecliptic.
What is caused by your tilted axis and your orbit?
Earth's tilted axis and orbit around the sun cause the changing of seasons. The tilt of Earth's axis means that different parts of the planet receive varying amounts of sunlight during different times of the year, resulting in the familiar cycle of spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
Why lunar eclipse does not occur on all full moon nights?
The Moon, Sun and Earth are not perfectly aligned every month. Therefore there is not an eclipse every full Moon. The reason the alignment is usually not perfect is that the Moon's orbit is tilted relative to the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun.
What are the different shapes of the moon you see from the earth are called?
Moon phases. As the moon revolves around the earth on its tilted path, (search for diagrams to find out what happens with it tilted) the light from the sun hits the moon and reflects towards earth. But we see a different amount of light and darkness depending on where it is in the orbit. This causes us to see different shapes.
Does the sun and moon have a tilted axis?
no

Why is the Moon's orbit tilted?
Maybe because the earth's tilted orbital plane causes the moon to orbit tiled, if the earth was straight it has said that the moon would orbit straight line.
What Angle is the moon tilted at?
1o angled axis
Why do you not have an eclipse every time we have an new or full moon?
The moon's orbit relative to the earth is tilted 5 degrees.
Does a moon have line rotational symmetry?
Yes it does. when tilted it has the same symmetric line.
Why doesn't a solar eclipse occur everytime the moon passes between the sun and earth?
The moon is tilted 5 degrees
Why doesn't a solar eclipse occur every time the moon enters its new moon phase?
Because the orbit of the moon is tilted at an angle of 5 degrees to the ecliptic.
Why the sun has different altitudes at different times of the year?
The Earth's axis is tilted.
What would happen if the earth was tilted 30 degrees?
If the earth was not tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees, there would not be the different seasons.
Which is the only planet to orbit in a different direction?
none of them orbit in a different direction they all orbit the sun in a counter-clockwise rotation. you may be thinking of how they are tilted because only on planet is tilted nearly onits side: Uranus which is tilted at 98degrees
