The moon is much closer to us than the sun is.
* When Earth is at periapsis (closest to the Sun, in January), Earth, and therefore the Moon, are closer to the Sun than when Earth is at apapsis. * On average, at new moon the Moon is closer to the Sun than at full moon, since at full moon the Moon is opposite to the Sun in the sky.
No. The sun is a star. The moon is a moon, also called a natural satellite, as it orbits Earth rather than the sun.
The Sun will always be bigger than the moon so the answer is the sun is bigger.
The Sun is the largest among the Sun, Moon, and Earth. It is a massive star that shines through nuclear fusion, providing light and heat to the solar system. The Earth is smaller than the Sun but larger than the Moon, which is Earth's natural satellite.
Out of these the moon is the smallest and the sun is the largest.
Yes, much quicker.
The moon is much close to the Earth and therefore is shorter to fly to.
No. The sun is 400 times the size of the moon.
The moon is much smaller than the sun. The sun is about 400 times larger in diameter than the moon.
The Moon is much closer to Earth than the Sun is, therefore making the moon appear to be as large or larger than the sun when viewed from Earth.
No, the sun is much larger than the moon. The sun has a diameter about 400 times greater than the moon, but it also happens to be about 400 times farther away from Earth than the moon. This is why they appear to be roughly the same size in the sky.

No, the moon and sun are not the same size. The sun is much larger than the moon.
No, the moon is not the same size as the sun. The sun is much larger than the moon.
The sun is much larger than the moon. The sun has a diameter about 400 times larger than the moon, but it also appears larger to us on Earth because it is much closer to us than the moon.
it isn't the sun is 450000 times brighter than the moon! no..
The sun is much larger than the moon. The sun's diameter is about 400 times larger than the moon's diameter.
