Is the moon or mars closter to the sun?
The moon is closer to the sun. Since the moon orbits Earth, it is always about the same distance from the sun as Earth is.
Is it true that the moon is always much closer to the earth than it is to the sun?
true
Does the moon have to be closer to earth or sun during a solar eclipse?
The moon is ALWAYS much closer to the Earth than it is to the sun. For a solar eclipse, the three bodies have to be lined up, with the moon in the 'middle'. The SIZE of the eclipse (I.E. area covered in shadow) changes if the moon is slightly closer or slightly farther away from Earth. If the Moon is closer to the earth, then the shadowed area is larger. If it is farther from the earth, then the shadowed area is smaller.
Is the moon closer to earth or is mars?
The Earth's distance from the moon or Mars is always changing. The closest the moon can get to Earth is 225,622 miles. The farthest it can get is 252,088 miles. The closest possible distance from Earth to Mars is 33.9 million miles. Therefore the Earth is always much closer to the moon than Mars, no matter where they are in orbit.
Is the sun closer to earth or moon?
The Sun is at the same average distance from both the Earth and the Moon because the Earth-Moon system orbits the sun. However, since the Moon orbits around the Earth, it is sometimes closer to the Sun than is the Earth, and sometimes farther. But the difference is negligible since the Sun is more than 380 times as far from Earth as the Moon.
Is the moon closer to the star or the earth?
The moon is much closer to the Earth than it is to the Sun.
Which one is closer to sun the Mercury or the Moon?
Mercury is always closer to the Sun than the moon.
Is mercury closer to the size of the Earth or your moon?
It is closer to the Earth
Is mercury or the moon closer to earth's size?
Mercury is larger than the moon and so is closer in size to Earth than the moon is. It should be noted that Mercury is closer in size to the moon than it is to Earth.
Which is closer to Earth the moon or the sun?
the moon
Is the sun closer to us then the moon is?
No, our moon is closer to Earth than the Sun is.
Does the sun go in front of the moon or does the moon go in front of the sun?
The Moon goes in front of the Sun. The Moon is closer to the Earth than the Sun, so when both the Moon and Sun can be seen from the Earth (i.e. they are both in the same direction) the Moon will always be closer.
