Earth referred to as "moons", after Earth's. The gravitational attraction between Earth and the Moon causes tides on Earth. The same effect on the Moon has led to its tidal locking: its rotation period is the same as the time it takes to orbit Earth. As a result, it always presents the same face to the planet. As the Moon orbits Earth, different parts of its face are illuminated by the Sun, leading to the lunar phases; the dark part of the face is separated from the light part by the solar terminator. Due to their tidal interaction, the Moon recedes
Partial/total eclipses on the Moon center of the Earth's shadow while the remainder visilbly as partial, some has 50/50 covered by the center of the Earth's shadow and visibly as partial. The shortest can be for around 2 hours and the longest can be up to 5–6 hours. Partial/total eclipses on the Moon Partial/total Solar eclipses on the Moon are caused when the Earth passes in front of the Sun, blocking a part its light in one part and the whole light in the other. Viewers on Earth will see a partial lunar eclipse. During its eclipses, the Earth will be in new phase, completely
