To
get the orbit of the Moon by the Planets applet choose "Ecl.
Earth/Moon" from the "View" menu. The
position of the Sun and the Moon are shown in polar coordinates for any
location and time. This
Java applet displays the azimuth of the Sun and the Moon at rise or set.
Computing
the altitude, azimuth, and the phase of the Moon for any location,
date, and time, The
astronomical algorithms computing the position of the Moon are
explained in detail. This
Java applet computes the motion of the moon (true longitude) and
display the orbit. To
display the date, time, and distance of lunar perigees and apogees for
a given year, enter the year in the box below and press "Calculate". Home

drawing digrams of the illuminated fraction, and of rise and set.
Moon Distance
The applet is
computing the distance of the Moon from the Earth
(kilometers), the apparent angular size (arc minutes), and illuminated
fraction of the disc of the Moon (per cent), and the Moon's phase:
