why do the sun, the moon and the earth not lie in one and the same line in every full moon day?
Answers
Answer:
Because the Earth and Moon don’t orbit in the same plane. The Earth is inclined in its orbit of the Sun, and the Moon is inclined in it’s orbit of the Earth. This is why we don’t have an eclipse every full moon or new moon, which is a different way of phrasing the same question.
Basically, as the Moon orbits the Earth, it also goes up and down a bit. Since this plane doesn’t change, there’s only two points in the orbit where it is exactly in line with either the Earth’s equator or the Earth’s orbit. As the Earth orbits the Sun, this point lines up with the line from the Sun to the Earth. When the Moon crosses this point while the two lines are close enough to parallel, we get eclipses.
Answer:
because of the heat of the sun the moon can burn. And if the moon burns it willl be half black or fully black.
