The Sun, Earth, and Moon form a gravitationally bound system where Earth orbits the Sun, and the Moon orbits Earth, creating predictable phenomena like phases, eclipses, and tides, all driven by their relative motions and the Sun’s light. The Sun, a massive star, provides light and heat, illuminating half of Earth and the Moon at any time, while Earth’s rotation causes day/night, and the Moon’s orbit around Earth creates lunar phases (New Moon, Crescent, Full Moon, etc.) over about 29.5 days, with eclipses (solar and lunar) occurring when they align.
