No. The moon is the closest astronomical object to Earth. The closest star to Earth is the sun, which is about 400 times farther away than the moon. The next nearest star is more than 260,000 times farther away than the sun.
There is no star between the Earth and the Moon. The nearest star is the Sun, at 93,000,000 miles away, whereas the Moon is only about 239,000 miles away.
One celestial body shades another from the light of a star. For example, the moon comes between the sun and where you are on the earth; or the earth gets between the sun and the moon.
the moon's radius is about one quarter the radius of earth The moon has no atmosphere and the earth does
The difference is that the earth has one and the moon doesn't.
the moon is smaller than the earth and
The gravitational force of attraction between the moon and an objecton or near its surface is 0.165 of the force between the Earth and thesame object on or near Earth's surface.
One orbital revolution of the Earth = 3651/4 days
The "New" moon is single point in time, when the moon is between the Earth and the Sun; it doesn't last even one hour. If the Moon is exactly between the Sun and Earth, then the shadow of the Moon will hit the Earth; we call this an "eclipse of the Sun".
The moon is closest to Earth when it is at its perigee, which is the point in its orbit where it is nearest to our planet. This is due to the gravitational forces between Earth and the moon affecting their distance.
Earth has one moon. Venus has no moon.
Consider the group of objects comprised of the Sun, Moon, and Earth. -- Solar eclipse . . . . . the Moon is the one in the middle. -- Lunar eclipse. . . . . the Earth is the one in the middle. -- The sun can never be the one in the middle.
This statement refers to the moon, where gravity is one sixth of that on Earth and it takes approximately 28 days for the moon to complete one orbit around the Earth. This relationship between gravity and orbit time is a fundamental aspect of the Earth-moon system.
