How is a moon different from a star?
Simply put, the sun, our sun, is a great big ball of burning gas. The moon on the other hand is a large cold lump of rock that is orbiting the earth. The moon revolves around the earth and the earth revolves around the sun. A moon is a hunk of rock and dust orbiting a planet. Planets orbit their star, which is a giant ball of gas and thermonuclear fire. A Sun is a huge object that fuses Hydrogen to make vast amounts of energy. The Moon is a ball of rock, much smaller in comparison.
How big is the sun from the moon?
The Sun looks the same size from the Moon as it does from the Earth, varying from smaller to larger by less than 1%.
Does the earth or sun cast a shodow on the moon?
The sun is the big flashlight that lights up everything it can reach. The earth is the thing that gets in the way of the flashlight, & can darken the moon if the moon passes through its shadow.
Why does the moon go throgh phases?
The phases of the moon are determined by its position relative to the Earth and the Sun. As the Moon orbits Earth, different portions of its illuminated half are visible from Earth, creating the different phases. This is due to the changing angles between the Moon, Earth, and the Sun.
Is the sun is bigger than a moon?
The sun's diameter is about 400 times as big as our moon's diameter, 108 times as big as the Earth's, and about 10 times the diameter of the biggest planet (Jupiter).
Is the moon really big enough to cover the sun?
Yes. The Sun (or the photosphere which is the brightest part of what we see) has a diameter that is almost exactly 400 times the diameter of the Moon. As the Sun is usually close to 400 times further away from the surface of the Earth than the Moon, when the Earth Moon and Sun line up, a shadow of the Moon is cast on the Earth. Right there the Moon "covers" the Sun. As far as we know this Earth is the only place (among all the known planets - which are not all that many mind you) where the Sun is eclipsed by a moon.
Why doesn't the entire planet of earth become dark when solar eclipse occurs?
Be cause the moon is not as big as the sun. So only the size of the moon is shadowed on earth and where the sun peaks out from behind the moon it will be perfectly light.
When the Sun passes between the Moon and the Earth you have?
a solar eclipse. This occurs when the Moon blocks the Sun's light from reaching the Earth. It can result in either a total or partial solar eclipse, depending on the alignment of the three celestial bodies.

The sun is very big compared to the moonwhy does the moon look bigger than the sun when you view from the earth?
The moon appears bigger than the sun when viewed from Earth because it is much closer to us. The moon is about 400 times smaller than the sun, but it is also about 400 times closer to Earth, which creates the illusion of them appearing to be the same size in the sky.
