Why do the sun and moon appear to be the same in size and shape?
The sun is approximately 400 times the size of the moon, however, it is also approximately 400 times farther away. This relationship cancels out and makes the sun and the moon appear observationally to be the same size on earth.
What causes the moon to appear gradually bigger and fuller?
The phase (shape) is due to the position of the sun relative to the Earth and sun. When the Earth is between the sun & the moon, it casts a shadow on the moon's surface - changing the shape of the lighted segment. The difference in size is caused by the path of the moon around the earth. It orbits in an ellipse (egg-shape) - not a circle. This varies the distance from the earth - the closer it is, the larger it appears.
What shape is the sun's core?
The sun's cure is spherical.
What is the shape of the moon when it is opposite to the sun?
