How the phases of the moon occur? The phases of the moon occur through the rotation of the planets.

What causes the seasons? The rotation of the earth around the sun causes seasons. When the northern hemisphere is directly affected by sun rays it is summer. The southern hemisphere would then experience winter.

What causes a lunar eclipse? It is when the shadow of the earth hits the moon. The reflection of the sun.


In our own solar system- our sun does not move. We always point to the north star. We always tilt pointing towards it. One calendar year- equals one full rotation around the sun. If the northern hemisphere is pointing away from the sun we are receiving indirect sun light and its winter. If the northern hemisphere is pointed towards the sun receiving direct sunlight it is summer. Tropic lines the sun gets the farthest to the south.The sun stays between those two lines. (warm weather)

Why are there phases of the moon? Full moon is when the moon is on the opposite side of the earth (the other side the sun is shining straight at it) The moon rises and then sets. When the moon and sun are on the same side it is the new moon. On the side the moon is a crescent, then gibbous. If I can't see the sun it is a solar eclipse. A lunar eclipse is when you cannot see the moon. two full moons in one month is a blue moon. 8 planets. all planets are lined up on the same plane. the moon is not in the plane...the moon dives in and out of it on its own orbit. A tiny tilt gives us a eclipse.
