:The light and dark side of the earth represent a earthican day as the earth rotates about itself relative to the sun. A lunar phase is exactly same as as the moon rotates about itself (and orbits the earth) relative to the sun.

light and dark

I dont know that much about space, but don't the light and dark side of the eart represent night and day in the course of 24 hours, instead of being similar to lunar phases? Could anybody who knows verify this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 145.18.242.174 (talk) 15:44, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The light and dark side of the earth represent a earthican day as the earth rotates about itself relative to the sun. A lunar phase is exactly same as as the moon rotates about itself (and orbits the earth) relative to the sun. So while the moon always has one face to the earth, it still has night and day relative to the sun. njaard (talk) 00:34, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What is the calculation used for the Lissajous figure that the Earth would "draw" above the Moon's surface? --Aewold (talk) 11:53, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
