Orbit of the Moon the Moon's orbit around Earth, its relative timing varies greatly. In some places on Earth, there is only one high tide per day, whereas others such as Southampton have four, though this is somewhat rare. The notional tidal bulges are carried ahead of the Earth–Moon orientation by the continents as a result of Earth's rotation. The eccentric mass of each bulge exerts a small amount of gravitational attraction on the Moon, with the bulge on the side of Earth closest to the Moon pulling in a direction slightly forward along the Moon's orbit (because Earth's rotation has carried the bulge
Partial/total eclipses on the Moon on Earth as a partial lunar eclipse, unlike the Earth where a total eclipse only occurs in a small spot while the remainder of a solar eclipse are total, on the Moon, a part is shown as partial and a part is shown is total as the center of the Earth's shadow's coverage totality is more larger than the Moon on Earth. In some eclipses, about 15-20% of a surface of the moon covered by the center of the Earth's shadow sees totality where the Earth eclipses the sun, some eclipses has about 75-80% of the surface covered by the
