The phases of the moon depends on the positions of ________________________.
sun, moon, and earth

Explain the relationship between the alignment of the Sun, Moon, and Earth on the gravitational pull that influences Earth's tides.
Moon's Gravity has the largest effect on tides
New and Full Moons have Spring Tides- Large Tidal Range- Celestial Bodies Lined Up
1 and 3 Quarter have Neap Tides- Smaller Tidal Range- Celestial Bodies at Right Angles

What phases of the moon may be completely dark when looking up from the Earth and why?
2- In a new moon phase and we don't see light during the new moon phase
1- Full moon phase- Light may be blocked by a Lunar Eclipse

400
What is the order of a Solar Eclipse
Sun, Moon, Earth
400
Describe why a person would weigh less on the moon than on Earth because:
The moon has less mass than the Earth, therefore less gravity. Weight depends on the force of gravity.
