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.
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 causes a total eclipse of the sun?
The moon passes in front of the sun and this causes a shadow to be cast on the earths serface. When the sun is completely covered by the moon this is called a total eclipse.
How does the sun orbits oroung the moon?
The sun does not orbit around the moon. The earth orbits the sun and the earths moon (every planet has 1 or more moons) orbits earth.
Is the moon's orbit the same as the earths orbit around the sun?
not quite. The moon circles the Earth, which circles the sun. So the moon's orbit around the sun isn't a smooth track, but consist of a wave like pattern.
Why doesn't the sun pull the moon away from the earth?
The gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon is stronger than the gravitational force between the Sun and the Moon. This is why the Moon stays in orbit around the Earth instead of being pulled away by the Sun.
What happens to earth if the moon is pulled away by the sun?
It can't happen, so it would be pointless to worry about it.
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.
How does the moon and the sun effect the earths oceans?
The gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon, effect the earths oceans by forming tides.
When the moon is On the side of earths opposite the sun?
full moon
What is he distance from the sun to earths moon in astronomical units?

What are two sources of the Earths energy?
the sun and the moon
What is Earths sun?
Moon orbits around earth, which orbits around the sun.
How many earths away is the sun from the moon?
The sun is one Earth distance (also known as an astronomical unit) from the Moon. This is because the Moon and Earth orbit the sun together, at an average distance called the Earth-Moon barycenter. This is approximately 93 million miles away from the sun, on average; the Moon can be up to a quarter-million (250,000) miles closer or further from the sun at any given time, depending on where it is in its orbit.
What caused the phases of earths moon?
because of the location of the moon with respect to the sun and earth.
Which is near to the earth sun or moon?
The moon is much closer to the earth that the sun. The moon is about 239,000 miles away. The sun is about 93,000,000 miles away.
Is the earths orbit around the sun a cause of the phases of the moon?
No. The moon's orbit around the earth is.
