The Relationship of the Sun,Moon and Earth
How does the Earth interact with the sun and moon.
An example of a direct interaction would be the tides. The tides are the periodic rising and falling of the oceans each day. They're caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun on the oceans of the earth. As the moon moves across the sky, it pulls the oceans with it.

What would happen if the Earth spins faster?
The Earth's shape is somewhat determined by its rate of spin (remembering that it's not solid all the way through). The faster it spins the hotter its inside. The hotter its inside the bigger it bulges around its axis. If the Earth rotated twice as fast, there would actually be 183 days in a year (not 366/365).
What would happen if the moon was farther from the earth?
The Moon is kept in orbit by the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on it, but the Moon also exerts a gravitational force on our planet and this causes the movement of the Earth's oceans to form a tidal bulge. Due to the rotation of the Earth, this tidal bulge actually sits slightly ahead of the Moon.
How does the sun moon and earth relate to each other.
The Sun warms our planet, and with the Moon, creates the tides. The Moon orbits the Earth and in turn, the Earth orbits the Sun. ... Because they appear to be the same size in the sky, the Sun, Earth and Moon work together to create eclipses. When the Moon is directly in between the Earth and Sun, we see a solar eclipse.
What happens to the pull of gravity when the moon and sun are in a line?
The Sun's gravity pulls Earth, too. Twice a year, the Sun, the Moon, and Earth are in a straight line, and especially high tides result. These spring tides occur because the Sun and Moon's gravity tug on Earth together. Weaker, or neap, tides happen when the Sun, the Moon, and Earth form an L-shape.
The relationship between the sun and earth
The earth receives almost all its energy from the Sun"s radiation. Sun also has the most dominating influence on the changing climate of various locations on Earth at different times of the year. The Earth rotates about on a fixed plane that is tilted 23.5° with respect to its vertical axis around the sun.
What would happen if the moon was closer to the earth?
The gravitational force of the Moon disrupts this balance, pulling a tidal bulge of water with it as it orbits our planet and as the Earth rotates, it too causes a tidal bulge on the opposite side. ... Low tides would be lower and high tides would be higher and any low lying coastline would be flooded.
What is the relationship between the sun and moon?
This effect is caused by the Moon's gravity pulling at the Earth The acceleration of gravity on Earth due to the Sun, is 177 greater than the gravity on Earth from the Moon. The Earth revolves around the Sun and the Moon orbits around us. The Sun provides light for us during the day
What would happen if the earth stop spinning around the sun?
What would happen if the Earth stopped spinning? ... If the Earth stopped spinning suddenly, the atmosphere would still be in motion with the Earth's original 1100 mile per hour rotation speed at the equator. All of the land masses would be scoured clean of anything not attached to bedrock.
When the sun and moon are aligned?
When the sun, moon, and Earth are in alignment (at the time of the new or full moon), the solar tide has an additive effect on the lunar tide, creating extra-high high tides, and very low, low tides—both commonly called spring tides.
What would happen if their was no moon.
With the Moon no longer there, the oceans of the world become much calmer. The Sun still has an effect on them (known as solar tides), so surfers wouldn't be completely devoid of waves. But the oceans would largely become serene. This has a dire effect on life on Earth
