The moon, which is, by far, the closest celestial object to Earth. The moon varies between about 220,000 and 250,000 miles from Earth. Venus never comes closer than 24,000,000 miles.
There are no moons around Venus or Mercury. So the closest moon to Venus is the Moon orbiting the Earth, which is not really any closer than Earth is. (Venus is always at least 100 times farther away from Earth than the distance of the Moon.)
The moon is 1,737.10 km and Venus is 6,052 km so it is not smaller. The moon is closer to the earth so it looks bigger in the sky.
During a new moon, the moon is located between the Earth and the sun. Venus orbits closer to the sun than Earth, so its position varies in relation to the Earth and the sun and is not directly related to lunar phases like the new moon.
No, Venus is closer to the Sun than the Earth.
Earth has one moon. Venus has no moon.
No, Venus is closer to the Sun than the Earth.
The moon can be anywhere between 1/4 million miles farther and 1/4 million miles closer to Venus than Earth is. That's a range of roughly 1.9% of the closest that Venus can ever approach Earth.
The moon orbits the Earth. Venus and Mercury are the planets that are closer to the Sun than the Earth is.
Mercury and Venus are the planets that are closer to the Sun than Earth.
No, there are no moon near Venus. No moons orbit Venus. The nearest moon to Venus is Earth's moon. :)
Closer.
Venus is on average about 30 million miles closer to the sun than Earth. This proximity to the sun causes Venus to have a much hotter surface temperature compared to Earth.
