Answer 5

All right, for the first question here, the Moon is dependant on the Sun because that is how it glows. the moon does NOT glow on its own, it is simply reflecting light from the sun. Seasons are created because of the tilt of the Earth - when the top (Norther Hemisphere) is closer to the Sun it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere. The pull of the Moon and the sun respectively create the tides - not entirely sure how to explain that one, just look it up (a picture might help too). A LUNAR eclipse is created when it is in the Earth's shadow and the Sun, Earth and Moon are almost exactly, if not exactly, lined up. The sun makes a shadow and the little bit of the light coming around the Earth shine onto the Moon, and the Moon reflects the light that is given to it. A SOLAR eclipse occurs when the moon gets between Earth and the sun, and the moon casts a shadow over Earth. A solar eclipse can only take place at the phase of new moon, when the moon passes directly between the sun and Earth and its shadows fall upon Earth's surface. The Earth is caught in the Sun's gravitational pull - therefore keeping it warm enough to support life (as we know it), the Moon is a hunk of reflective rock that is caught in the Earth's gravitational pull and it helps with the tides. The sun, it doesn't really need either of them. Does any of this make sense?
