Solar System Project: I would like to know if the moon is between earth and mars. I am making a shoe box model of the solar system. I have to put the planets in order. That's all I need to know. Thanks a bunch!!!
Hi i would like to tell you that the moon revolves around the earth so somewere close to the earth or around it would be fine!!!!
The moon rotates in a circle around Earth so sometimes it is between Earth and mars and sometimes it is not. You can put the moon anywhere around the Earth and your model will come out perfect :)
Explain how you can tell that an object is in motion
Of course! To determine if the moon is between Earth and Mars, we need to look at the order of the planets in the solar system. Specifically, we will focus on the position of the moon relative to Earth and Mars.
The order of the planets in our solar system, starting from the sun, is as follows:
1. Mercury
2. Venus
3. Earth
4. Mars
5. Jupiter
6. Saturn
7. Uranus
8. Neptune
Since the moon is not a planet but rather Earth's natural satellite, it is located near Earth. Therefore, when arranging the planets in your shoe box model of the solar system, you can place the moon next to Earth.
So, to answer your question, the moon is not between Earth and Mars. Earth is positioned between the moon and Mars.
