How much farther is the sun from earth than the moon from earth?
Find the distance from the earth to the moon, then the the distance from the earth to the sun, and simply subtract the both.
Where would you be if you traveled 6000000 miles into space?
Farther than the Moon, but still much closer to Earth than to any other planet.Farther than the Moon, but still much closer to Earth than to any other planet.Farther than the Moon, but still much closer to Earth than to any other planet.Farther than the Moon, but still much closer to Earth than to any other planet.
Is the moon or neptune farther from earth?
The moon is about 384,403 kilometers (238,857 miles) from Earth, and about 4,564 million kilometers (2,835 million miles) from Neptune. So, the moon is much closer to the Earth, Neptune over 10,000 times farther away.
How much farther is the Sun from the Moon than the Earth?
The Earth and the Moon are an average of 384,000 kilometers apart. The Sun is always more than 350 times farther from either the Earth or the Moon, and usually more than 400 times as far. The Earth-Moon system orbits about 150,000,000 kilometers from the Sun. The Earth-Moon distance is between 362,570 and 405,410 kilometers. The Moon-Sun distance is between and 146,688,000 and 152,508,000 kilometers.
Were astronauts on europa moon?
No. Astronauts have visited Earth's Moon. The next place to visit will be Mars. Europa is a moon of Jupiter, so it is MUCH farther away.
Does the moon have to be closer to earth or sun during a solar eclipse?
The moon is ALWAYS much closer to the Earth than it is to the sun. For a solar eclipse, the three bodies have to be lined up, with the moon in the 'middle'. The SIZE of the eclipse (I.E. area covered in shadow) changes if the moon is slightly closer or slightly farther away from Earth. If the Moon is closer to the earth, then the shadowed area is larger. If it is farther from the earth, then the shadowed area is smaller.
What are the factors that keep the Moon in orbit around Earth?
The gravitational forces between the Earth and Moon keep things together. The moon is slowly getting farther from Earth, however. Ancient humans would have seen a much larger moon in the night sky...
How long will it take for the moon to drift out of our orbit?
The Moon will drift farther and farther from Earth, while Earth slows down, until Earth always shows the Moon the same face (just as the Moon already shows Earth the same face all the time). It doesn't seem that the Moon will completely escape from Earth's gravity.
Why do the sun and moon look the same size in the sky?
objects look bigger the closer to you they are. the moon is small, but close to earth. the sun is much larger, but much farther away.
What is farther than the earth the moon or the sun?
Definitely the SUN. If the sun were where the moon is in relation to the earth, the earth would be consumed by the sun.
How many times will the moon roll before hitting the earth?
It doesn't look like the Moon will hit Earth any time soon. In fact, it is gradually getting farther and farther away from Earth.
Why is gravity on the moon a 6th of the gravity on earth?
The gravity is less on the moon than on Earth because the Earth has about 80 times as much mass as the Moon has. The diameter of the Moon also affects it. If the diameter is bigger, that puts you farther away from the center, and the gravitational force decreases.
