Although the sun is bigger, the moon is not small. When placed at a certain distance before the moon, it able to hide the shine of the sun.

Is the moon small medium or large?
Large
Can the moon have moons?
Yes it can. If an object small enough to get caught in its gravity and orbit the moon does get caught then yes it can have a moon.
What is the current theory for the creation of the moon?
Back when the earth was young and relatively molten, a large object about half the size of the current moon, struck the earth and took a large section of the earth with it. The object combined with the pieces of earth that were broken off and began orbiting the earth. Hence, the moon.
What theory is currently accepted as explaining the moon's creation?
The impact theory. The idea is that the Earth was hit by a large object and the Moon formed from the debris.
Can the mass of an object be changed by sending it to the moon?
No. The mass of any object is considered to be an intrinsic constant property, i.e. it's a characteristic of the object and it doesn't change, no matter where the object goes or what happens to it. The weight of the object may change, because that's just the force of gravity caused by whatever large body the object happens to be near, like the earth or moon.
Is the moon small medium or large?
Large
A large object moving around the sun?
a large planet like Jupiter or the moon
Can the moon have moons?
Yes it can. If an object small enough to get caught in its gravity and orbit the moon does get caught then yes it can have a moon.
Is the moon the only object that orbits earth?
There are many artificial satellites - thousands of them. The Moon, however, is the only natural object that is large enough to be noticed.
What is an object that's moves around a large object?
Astronomically speaking, an object that orbits a larger object is a satellite. I.E. the moon is the earth's satellit
Why An object will weigh approximately 6 times HEAVIER on earth than it would on the moon?
Earth is a about 6 times more massive than the moon (Has more density per volume, since it's technically weightless in space) Gravity is proportional to how large a planet or moon is, so the object will be heavier on earth (a larger planet) than on the moon (a small body)
What feature on the moon casts dark shadows?
Any large object, such as a rock or a mountain will cast a shadow on the moon.
What is a large object that circles a star but does not produce any of its own light?
moon
What is the reason that moon light has no heating effect in comparison to sun light?
For the same reason is dark at night with just moonlight. You are only getting only a reflection from a small object as opposed to direct exposure from a large object. However, it is warmer on nights with a full moon. And far more romantic.
What is the current theory for the creation of the moon?
Back when the earth was young and relatively molten, a large object about half the size of the current moon, struck the earth and took a large section of the earth with it. The object combined with the pieces of earth that were broken off and began orbiting the earth. Hence, the moon.
Are there any other moon's on Mars?
Mars is a planet. A moon is a large celestial object that orbits a planet. So no, there are no moons on mars.
Is the moon too small to have a gravitational pull on another object?
No, the moon's gravitational pull on the earth is the dominate cause of tides in the oceans. When the Apollo moon missions were going on, the moon's gravity both kept the command module in orbit and the lander and astronauts on its surface. Nothing is too small to have a gravitational pull on another object.
