On average, the Moon is about 240,000 miles away from the Earth.

The Sun, however, is about 93 million miles away from the Earth.

Though the Moon and the Sun appear to be about the same size from Earth, the Sun is actually much larger, and much farther away.

How far away is Venus from Earth's moon?

The distance varies as the Moon goes round the Earth while the Earth goes round the Sun AND Venus goes round the Sun. Thus sometimes Venus and Earth are on the same side of the Sun and at other times they are on opposite sides of the Sun. Obviously then the distance changes between the two extreme configurations. The best I can do is to tell you that Venus orbits the Sun at a distance of 108,208,000 km, the Earth orbits the Sun at a distance of 152,100,000 km, while the Moon orbits the Earth at a distance of 405,400 km.

How can the moon and sun tell us that the earth is moving?

The moon and sun can tell us that the earth is moving as our earth spins adding to the sight of turn of the Moon which we can see in the sky moving throughout the day. The sun can tell us the earth is moving as we can see shadows on people and objects moving around telling us something has to be moving. It has been scientificly proven that is not the Sun or "Sol" so we know it is the Earth.

How do use the moon movement and phases to tell time?

The whole Moon is there all the time. The phases of "quarter," "crescent" and so forth describe the part of the Moon on which sunlight is falling. When the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth as the Sun (in other words, in a line of Sun - Earth - Moon), the sunlit side is the same as the side an observer on Earth sees, so the Moon is "full." When the Moon and Sun are on the same side (Sun - Moon - Earth), the lighted side is the side facing away from Earth, and the Moon is dark, or "New." In first and third "quarters," the Sun and Moon form a right angle (a "corner") with the Earth, as when somebody stands with a single light source near his ear and his face is half in the light.


How can the moon and the stars tell us that the earth moving?

The position of the moon and stars in the night sky appears to change over time due to the rotation and orbit of the Earth. By tracking their movement relative to fixed points on Earth, such as landmarks or constellations, we can infer that the Earth is moving. This phenomenon, known as apparent motion, provides indirect evidence of Earth's rotation and revolution.
