If the moon is the moon's name and sun is our sun's name.........?

If you read an astronomy text book, you will see that the Moon and the Sun are capitalized.  When I studied astronomy, I was trained to do so as well.  This is to differentiate between the object called the Moon and another moon, like Phobos, which is a moon of Mars.  \n\nThe Moon and the Sun have other names as well.  SF writers will refer to Luna and Sol when people live on the Moon or travel outside our solar system.  "Oh, I'm from Terra, Sol 3A, but my wife was born on Luna, Sol 3B."\n\nThe problem is a historical one.  We called this planet the Earth and its major sky-lights the Sun and the Moon when we didn't know that there were others.  It's hard to break a millenia-old habit.

"Luna" is the name used by astronomers when they speak of our Moon.  It is our moon's "official name"  although it's hardly ever used.

The Moon is 400 times smaller than the Sun AND 400 times closer. Why? I don't think there is any real reason, we are just lucky.

Well, since lunar means "moon", yes it's true.

No and Yes.\n\nThe moon is orbiting the Earth more slowly than the Earth is rotating.  It falls behind a little every day.  About 56 minutes behind.  So if tonight the Moon rises over the mountains at 8:00pm, tomorrow it will rise over the mountains at 8:56pm.  (thats the No)\n\nIn pretty much the same place. (There's your Yes)

Because the moon reflects light from the sun.

The tidal forces of both the Moon AND the Sun.

Obviously the moon has to be between the Sun and the\nEarth, so maybe they want you to say, "when the Moon is new".\nNote that this is the *opposite* of a full moon.

This is when the moon is in front of the sun in respect to the earth. It is also called conjunction.

It is.  It's just very dark blue so it looks black.  I'm sure you'll agree that even a "very bright" moon is a lot darker than the sun.  I took a picture at night for fifteen seconds at 1600 ISO on a hazy night and the sky came out blue.  I think the bright points (stars) add contrast to the sky that make it look dark so the haze evened the sky out.

Talking symbolically about the moon!

Also, we only see it when it is above the horizon.\n\nDuring the day, the sun is obviously above the horizon.  But the moon sets an hour or so later each day, so sometimes it is below the horizon in the day, and sometimes not.

If you can see the moon from both points at the same time then the phase of the moon will be the same.\n\nIf however the moon is visible in Britain, but still below the horizon in Australia, then the phase will have very slightly changed by the time the moon rises in Australia.

The moon is gorgeous. I love the moon. It is so mystical and romantic.
