can any of you astronomytards maybe help dig up like, a 3d model of how the moon orbits the earth? or one with the earth/moon in relation to the sun as well, demonstrating how the shadow on the moon is cast (or the bright side lit up if that's the case?) i can only find like, flat 2D ones that show it as being totally planar. surely if there is so much variation it can't be totally planar, right? like does it go around in a wobble or a cloud (like a diagram of electrons around a nucleus in an atom)
sorry if this sounds retarded, like i said, trying to imagine how it works in 3d space boggles my noggin
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1595910 Study this. [ link to www.shatters.net] There is an intricate interplay of the moon's inclination, orbital period, and the earth's orbital period and tilt (there are also other factors like the eccentricity of the moon's orbit that are also important for how we see the moon as well). The above should help you visualize how it all works, you can view the sun, earth, and moon in 3d from any perspective you need to understand it.
