This is clearly wrong because the earth is fixed in this system, the reality is the earth AND moon orbit the sun together as a system, so the earth wobbles around orbit of the sun by the gravity of earth and moon system, moving around some 3000 miles either side of the orbit.
This is very wrong, scientists have proven the moon has an elliptical orbit of our planet, which means when it is closer to us, it causes more earthquakes on our planets surface. So far everything I have seen on here, shows the planet going round in a circle. This does not happen people...
this is sooo WRONG! google "moon trajectory" and scroll down the Wikipedia entry until you come to the picture of the Moon-Earth trajectory. Both are moving at high speed, so that the Moon cannot go backwards. It goes always forward, moving back and forth across the Earth's path. or see Sir Patrick Moore's description of the Moon's path. get with the reality of the situation. silly video this...it's wrong.
do a simulation with the earth orbiting the moon, then you will see the 2 planet system where the moon, and earth orbit the sun. first the moon is attracked to the sun, and trys to breakaway from earth, it goes ahead of the earth only to be brought back, where it slows down and repeats the cycle, each cycle the moon turns one time on its axis. this two planet system takes 9 years to complete one cycle. thank you Hubble, the independent observor. The moon orbits the sun, not the earth.
firsty the earth moon system is not by definition a two planet system as the barycentre is below the surface of the earth, about 2000 kilometers to be more precise, seconds were do you get this crap that the moon orbits the sun?! whatever webforums you've been reading, the moon orbits the Earth, the gravitational attraction between the sun and the moon is obscenely miniscule and neglegible in fact the total acceleration of the moon is less than 0.006m/s^2
@EMOjamesy23 Actually, during new moon, the gravitational attraction between the sun and the moon is more than twice that of between the earth and the moon.
Just do the calculations. It's not hard. F_sun/F_earth = (M_sun/M_earth)(d_earth/d_sun)^2, where M_(blank) = mass of (blank), and d_(blank) = distance between (blank) and the moon.
its about 1.5 times more actually, do you not get that its not that simple, the point is that the moon is most certainly not accelerating towards the sun ALL year round as some people have suggested, the equations require far more than your babyish newtonian mechanics, the moons orbit can only be explained using GR and fyi the moon is moving away from earth, even at full moon and tbh thats proves my point on its own, i wish people would stop pretending to know stuff
i like how big the earth is compared to the moon yet in all the moon pics and video shot by the atrounauts that say they landed their the earths is not much bigger than a full moon looks here on earth... the earth should fill the sky if you look at it from the moon surface... it would dam sure look bigger than a full moon her on earth..
@tinman842 lol well it actually DOES look bigger than the moon from earth i think the video you're referring too is the Apollo 11 earth rise video which was taken while above the moon. you can see the curvature of the moon in that video the moon would also appear smaller from a similar view, from above the earth. MAN HAS LANDED ON THE MOON PERIOD. XD
@tinman842 The Earth does look bigger from the moon than the moon looks from Earth, but it would not come close to filling the sky. The images of Earth from the moon's surface are real photographs. The Earth is only about 4 times the diameter of the moon, so from 384,403 kilometers away, the Earth will not look very big.
[Note to deagoddess: That comment I deleted was worded wrongly [in case you misunderstood the meaning]. In fact, I don't know why I put what I did. It was complete bullshit. The moon rotates/orbits every 27.3 days, exactly the same [which it'd have to or at some point everything would be seen].]
The moon rotates around the earth but does the moon rotate around it's axis as well? or does it just stay up and out there like a floating rock and we never get to see the other side? Thanks. I know, it's a 3rd grade question :)
i heard the same side of the moon is always facing earth as if whatever it is made up of that one side of it is magnetically held facing earth, so no we never see the other side of the moon from earth
The reason we only see one side, and not the 'far side', is because the rate of rotation of the moon is exactly equal to the orbital rate. If they didn't coincide in this manner, then at some point each side would be exposed to our points of view, our perspectives.
In truth, there's no constantly 'dark side of the moon', in the literal sense of the wording. The 'dark side' is, at times, light. Although it may be symbolically true, it would be better to refer to this part as 'the far side'.
There are slight variations when it comes to view, which causes the Near Side of the Moon to change to some minor degree, depending on position [what's known as libration, if you want to look it up]. These variations are small, to the most literal sense of the word.
Incidentally, it is tidal locking that is responsible for the synchronous rotation and orbit, in case anybody wanted to know.
Obtain something to represent the Earth, like an orange or apple, or something. Then, get your hands on a smaller piece of fruit, for the Moon's role. Once you've done this, place the big one in the centre, then move the smaller object around, like an orbit. As it 'orbits' the 'Earth', rotate the 'Moon' at a rate that keeps one side of the smaller sphere facing the other - might be a good idea to mark it. :P
Please don't get angry for my posting this but it is moon-related.
There's a mountain of evidence that the Apollo moon missions were faked. I posted a partial summary of it on a science forum. Google "The Naked Scientists". In the "New Theories" section of the forum there's a thread entitled "Did We Land on the Moon?". The summary is on page 15. It's the 7th post from the top.
People who still think they went to the moon simply haven't seen the hoax evidence yet.
Does the moon rotate around? Or is it just in orbit always facing the same side?
MadeInOregon27 1 month ago
@MadeInOregon27 The moon constantly spins just enough to make it appear to be facing the same way. crazy huh?

It is because they are 230,000 miles away from Earth. Also, the moon will be bigger when you're actually on it.

its gravitationally held that way. the moon isn't a perfect sphere, it's bigger on one side, the side we see.
