Yes, The force of gravity is responsible for the orbiting motion of the moon about the earth and also the motion of both the moon and earth around the sun. The orbital patterns of the earth and moon cause their positions to be relative to the sun in a way that repeats itself every 29 days - a full phase. The light that bounces off the moon and back to someone on earth depends upon the position of both, relative to the sun. So since gravity causes the pattern of the orbits then it is responsible for the phenomenon.
What else can I help you with?
If a rock is tossed on the moon what force acts on the rock during its curved path?
The force acting on the rock when it is tossed on the moon is gravity. Gravity is responsible for keeping the rock in orbit around the moon and causing it to follow a curved path as it falls towards the surface.
What is the gravity on the moon?
The gravity on the moon is about 1/6th of the gravity on Earth.
What is the relationship between the phases of the moon diagram and the sun?
The phases of the moon diagram show how the moon's appearance changes as it orbits the Earth. The position of the sun relative to the moon determines which part of the moon is illuminated, creating the different phases we see from Earth.
How does the moon's gravity compare to Earth's gravity?
The moon's gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity.
What is the relationship between the moon phases diagram, the sun, and the earth?
The relationship between the moon phases diagram, the sun, and the earth is that the moon's appearance changes in a predictable pattern as it orbits the earth, which is illuminated by the sun. The different phases of the moon, such as full moon, new moon, and crescent moon, are a result of the varying positions of the moon, earth, and sun in relation to each other.
Is the moon kept in orbit by gravity or lunar phases?
Gravity.
Does gravity have to do with the phases of the moon?
Yes, gravity plays a crucial role in the phases of the moon. The moon's phases are determined by its position relative to the Earth and the Sun, which affects how much of the moon's surface is illuminated by sunlight. The gravitational pull between the Earth, moon, and sun influences this positioning, leading to the cyclical changes in the moon's appearance as seen from Earth.
How are the positions of the moon the Moon's phase and tidal range related?
the moon's gravity pulls waves on different phases of the moon
Why phases of the moon keep changing overtime?
Because Earth is losing it's gravity
Do moon phases create catastrophes?
No, the moons gravity makes tides, but other than that they aren't bad.
Another word for stages of the moon?
The stages of the Moon, are referred to as the 'Phases of the Moon'.
Why does the phases of the moon effect us?
if we are near the full side of the moon, the temperature will drop. If you notice, when we have anew moon, it's a bit warmer. In a word, magnetism. (Gravity)
What is is most frequently responsible for changes in ocean tides?
it is the gravitational pull of the moon and also the sun.
How does the phases of the moon affect the tides at sea?
the phases of the moon don't affect tides. Tides are caused by the moon's gravity, the moon is always at the same distance from Earth. Sun also causes the tides. so if the sun and the moon are directed in the same place at Earth extra high tides occur.
What force is responsible for orbiting motions of the sun moon and earth?
The force of gravity.
What is physical process is most frequently responsible for changes in tides?
The gravity of the moon.
Why are the tide changes lowest during the quarter moon phases?
Because the gravity of the SUN and the MOON are pulling at 90 degrees to each other and not with each other.
