in this diagram, the moon is directly in front of the earth. Where would most likely happen if the moon was not directly in front of the earth?

The Moon's Two Shadows. An eclipse of the Sun (or solar eclipse) can only occur at New Moon when the Moon passes between Earth and Sun. If the Moon's shadow happens to fall upon Earth's surface at that time, we see some portion of the Sun's disk covered or 'eclipsed' by the Moon.

HOPE THIS HELPED!!!! XD

Answer:

Moon and Earth:" The moon is an astronomical entity which is smaller in size, as compared to Earth's body, and revolves around the Earth."

  • It is revolving around the Earth from billions of years on a very specific path, which is tilted at 5 degrees to the plane of earth's orbit around the sun.
  • When the Sun, moon, and the earth are completed aligned at the same angle, having the 0° angle between them, while the moon completes all it phases is called as lunar cycle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Effect of Moon Position around the Earth-

  • It is said that for all this time the astronomical body which is considered the most important to drive life on earth is moon.Now, the moon is considered to be responsible for the high and low tides on the surface of earth.
  • And the biological environment is sustained on earth, due to moon's position around the earth in a specific orientation, which is maintaining the life on earth, and keeping the atmosphere and biosphere in stable level.
  • And if moon displaces from its position then obviously high tides will vanquish, resulting in low tides in the ocean. Along with which the stability in the biosphere and atmosphere will decrease with time.
