What is the proper terminology for a fixed satallite between the Earth and Moon?

ok, well, i'll imagine you're asking for a place between the earth and the moon where a satellite may orbit and stay between the earth and the moon.  that place is L1.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrangian_point

They are called moonquakes.  If the moon had an atmosphere it probably would not be able to keep it or hold it at the moon's surface due to little gravity.  (only 1/6 of earth's)

A full moon is the phase when the entire circular shape of the moon is visible.\n\nA new moon is the phase when no part of the moon is visible due to the position of the earth.  It happens to block the light from the sun so the moon is not able to be seen.\n\nsilly fact- the term "blue moon" like "once in a blue moon" refers to the unusual event of having two new moons in a calendar month.

Kind of, but not quite.  The Earth is pulled by the Moon's gravity just as the Moon is pulled by the Earth's gravity.  The center of gravity of the Earth-Moon system (called the barycenter) is actually inside the Earth, but not at the center of the Earth, so its better to say that the Earth wobbles rather than revolving around a point.\n\nPluto and Charon actually do revolve around each other, and around the barycenter which is between the two objects.

The moon is not geosynchronous.  Thus, its relative position in the sky changes rapidly.  Without manmade satellites in geosync. orbit, and with transponer facilities on the moon instead, people with satellite dishes would have to constantly reaim them to keep their signal.\n\nI do believe the moon always shows the same face towards Earth.

The phases of the moon are the same around the world. What varies is the rise and set time. The US Naval Observatory is a great site for this.

Yes, the moon is a natural satellite of Earth.

Techtonic scientist who study continental drift (which is ongoing) believe that at one time long ago almost all land masses were collected into a huge circle called Pangea (meaning all land).  When it split up to drift into present locations it was probably pure coincidence why pointy parts of land masses pointed one way rather than another.  My pet theory is that luna tides (that affect the oceans and earth's crust) may have biased the direction of "cracks" in the land masses, but perhaps I'm just a luna-tick.  Incidentally the term lunatic originally applied to scientists who met once a month when they could travel at night with the aid of the light of a full moon.

Wow, there seem to be a lot of very stupid people answering this question.\n\nI'm assuming that you are looking for a word for when the moon and the sun are both above the horizon at any given location.  As far as I'm aware there is no specific word for this situation.\n\n"Twilight" specifies the time of day shortly after the sun has set or shortly before it is going to rise, if I remember correctly.  It has nothing to do with the moon.  And, although solar and lunar eclipses do occur when both the sun and the moon are above the horizon, they do not by any means describe all occurrences of both the sun and the moon being in the sky.

It's called a "captured orbit".  Use two oranges or balls. Hold one as the Earth in your left hand on a table.  It's going to stay still for demonstration purposes.  Hold the other orange with your right hand like the moon nearby and stick a toothpick in it so that the toothpick faces the "Earth" orange.  Now, just to see how the moon can be rotating AND keeping the same face toward the Earth, slowly begin to orbit the moon counter-clockwise around the Earth with the toothpick facing the Earth. Take the moon all the way around the earth, keeping the toothpick facing the Earth.  Do it again, slowly, and notice that the moon actually turns all the way around once, or, rotates, everytime it orbits all the way around the Earth. It takes the real moon 28 days to orbit or go all the way around the Earth, and 28 days to rotate all the way around it's own axis. Cool, huh?  : )  Took me like fifty years to figure that out.

if you mean like a new moon (solar eclipse) <every new moon, and a full mooon (lunar eclipse) <every full moon:\n\nbecause the earth and moon are not on the same plane, and the moon is in a higher altitude than earth, and the moon only crosses sometimes into the earth's plane with the sun.

There's the Man *in* the Moon, but not the Moon *in* the Earth.  So far, there is only one moon orbiting the Earth and its name is ... "Moon".

The Earth only natural satellite has other names, too: Luna, Selena, etc. Moon is also a generic name (moon), a synonim of "natural satellite".

A full moon is the exact time that the center of the Moon crosses the plane defined by the Earth's axis of rotation and the center of the Sun in the direction away from the Sun.\n\nA new moon is the exact time that the center of the Moon crosses the plane defined by the Earth's axis of rotation and the center of the Sun in the direction toward the Sun.

No.  The angle between the sun and the moon as viewed from the earth is 180 degrees for the full moon pahse.  This means that the full moon and the sun are always on opposite sides of the earth.\n\nSince the moon is not always "in plane" with the sun, and your horizon is not perfect, it may be possible on occasion, depending on the geography of the horizon, and one's latitute to see the full moon rising as the sun is setting, or to see the full moon setting as the sun is rising.
