The Moon’s orbit around the Earth is not a circular orbit but more of an eclipse and the orientation or the orbit is not fixed but differs in time. The Earth and the Moon are both actually orbiting the sun (the Moon at a much faster rate) but in the process of that orbit the Moon orbits Earth. This process is the main cause of tide formations‚ the neap and spring tides and the phases of the moon. The orbit of

    DNA deals with a whole host of contemporary issues through its portrayal of a particularly disaffected and alienated teenage-orientated view of the ‘modern’ world.

    gravitational forces of the sun and moon. All physical objects attract each other with gravity‚ but the strength of the force depends upon the mass and distance of the objects. The shorter the distance or greater the mass‚ the stronger the gravity. Both the sun and moon have gravitational pulls on the Earth‚ but the strength of the moon’s pull is stronger than the sun’s because it is much closer to the Earth. The moon pulls the ocean water on the side of the Earth facing the moon more strongly than it pulls

In a total eclipse‚ the disk of the Sun is fully obscured by the Moon. In partial and annular eclipses only part of the Sun is obscured.
