Yes. The sun is 1.3 million kilometers across. The moon is never more than
a third of that distance from earth and the diameter of its orbit is just over
half the sun's diameter.
==========================================
The question is not exactly clear. You might be referring to "the moon which orbits Earth",
or you could be referring to "the moon's orbit around the Earth".
-- The moon's diameter is 3,475 km. The sun's is about 400 times as large.
-- The diameter of the moon's orbit is 768,800 km. The sun's diameter is about 80% larger.
If the Earth were at the center of the sun, the moon's orbit would be completely inside
the sun, about 55% of the way to the surface.
What else can I help you with?
How many times is Earth larger than the Moon?
Earth's diameter is about 3.7 times bigger than the Moon's Earth's volume is about 50 times greater than the Moon's Earth's surface area is about 14.29 times greater than the Moon's Earth's mass is about 81.3 times greater than the Moon's
What is the moon and size in relation to earth and actual size?
The moon is Earth's only natural satellite, orbiting around our planet. It is about 1/6th the size of Earth, with a diameter of approximately 3,474 kilometers (2,159 miles).
What is the moon doing while earth is orbiting the sun?
while the earth is orbiting the sun the moon is orbiting the earth
Is the earth moon and sun all spheres?
The Sun, Earth and the Moon are all oblate spheroids. Meaning their equatorial diameter is greater than their polar diameter.
How may moons are orbiting the planet earth?
One moon is orbiting Earth and that is called The Moon.
How much greater is the angular momentum of the Earth orbiting about the sun than the moon orbiting about the Earth?
Assuming a circular orbit for simplicity, the magnitude of the angular momentum is rmv - that is, the radius of the orbit times the mass times the velocity. I'll leave the details of the calculations to you; basically you have to look up:Earth's, or the Moon's, orbital radius (the distance from Sun to Earth vs. the distance from Earth to the Moon);The mass of the orbiting object;Its velocity in orbit.Then you must divide one by the other, since I assume it's the ratio you are interested in.
What is in orbit with the Earth?
The moon. The earth is in orbit around the sun, but the moon goes with it, orbiting the earth directly and orbiting the sun indirectly.
Is there any moon on earth?
There is no moon on Earth, but there is one orbiting it; we call it the moon.
What is earths moons diameter?
2½ Moon Diameter = Earth's Diameter- 1 Moon Diameter. Earth's Diameter = 7/2 Moon
Is the moon on top of the sun?
No, it is orbiting our Earth, which is orbiting our Sun.
What is Name of the largest satellite orbiting earth?
The largest satellite orbiting the Earth is the Moon.
What force is responsible for the moon orbiting earth and earth orbiting the sun?
The force of gravity.
