The Sun is not stationary. The Sun (as everything in this universe) is only stationary with respect to itself (and even then there are some discrepancies because the surface of the sun rotates at different speeds depending on the latitude).
The moon's axis of rotation is tilted 6.7 degreeswith respect to the plane of its orbit around the earth. At the same time, its orbit around the earth is inclined 5.1 degrees with respect to the plane of the earth's orbit around the sun. At the moment, I can't picture how those two tilts combine to produce what we see from earth; but I suspect I've most likely already lost you anyhow.
The distance of moon from the Earth does not affect eclipses. It however determines the type of solar eclipse to be observed.
In a solar eclipse, if the moon is closer to the Earth in it's orbit, then the size of it's shadow falling on the Earth will be maximum and hence the eclipse can be seen in a greater region on Earth. If, however, the moon is farther from Earth in it's orbit, so farther that the umbral region of its shadow does not fall on Earth, then an annular eclipse is observed.
Not much. The direct effect is that the Moon seems to "wiggle" a little in the sky, turning a few degrees one way or the other.
The other is during a solar eclipse. When the Moon is close to the Earth during a solar eclipse, the eclipse covers more area and lasts longer. When the Moon is farther away, then the Moon doesn't cover the Sun completely and we have "annular" eclipses.
No, the moon orbits around the Earth, so it is not stationary. It takes about 27.3 days for the moon to complete one orbit around the Earth.
This makes eclipses more rare. If the moon's orbit were co-planar with earth's, eclipses would happen every month, at the New Moon.

What part of an atom are stationary?
The nucleus of the atom is stationary.
Which of the earth sun and moon orbits which?
The Earth orbits around the Sun, while the Moon orbits around the Earth. The Sun remains stationary at the center of our solar system, while both Earth and Moon move in elliptical paths around their respective orbits.
How does the polarity of the stationary phase affect the separation of compounds?
The polarity of the stationary phase is critical in determining the interactions between the compound and the stationary phase. Compounds with similar polarity to the stationary phase will interact more strongly and be retained longer, leading to better separation. Conversely, compounds that are less polar than the stationary phase will elute faster.
How many air masses are involved in a stationary front?
Usually, a stationary front has two air masses. It becomes a stationary front when two different air masses are too weak to replace the other. A wide variety of weather can be found along a stationary front.
A magnetic field does not interact with a?
A magnetic field does not interact with a stationary charge.
Which one is stationary moon or earth?
neither the moon revolves around the earth but the earth revolves around the sun and the sun revolves around the center of our galaxy. nothing has ever been stationary since even before the big bang.
Does the moon have a mantle?
No, the moon does not have a mantle. The moon is primarily composed of a crust and a core, lacking the mantle layer found in Earth's structure.
The period of the moon's rotation on its axis is?
The period of the moon's rotation on its axis is the same as its orbital period around the Earth, which is approximately 27.3 days. This synchronous rotation means the same side of the moon always faces Earth.
What are the homophones for stationary?
The homophone for stationary is stationery.
Which is not a noun - stationary or stationery?
stationary
Can you show a sentence with the word stationary?
I was at the gym and i saw a black and white stationary bike.
Are the Kachina Portals portable or stationary?
stationary
How do you do you use stationary in sentence?
Stationary is used as an adjective, because it describes a noun. The planets are not stationary.
Can an airplane be stationary in the mid air?
Airplanes can appear to be stationary to someone on the ground, but they cannot be stationary in the air.
How the appearance of earth would change if you watched it from the near side of the moon for a month.?
The Earth would appear to go through the same phases that we see in the Moon, except that the Earth would appear to be almost stationary in the sky; it would wiggle a little.
What is structured testing?
a stationary prototype
Is the platypus stationary or migratory?
The platypus is stationary. It does not migrate.
