Asked in The Moon
Is the sun closer to earth or moon?
It varies. Since the moon orbits Earth it will at times be
closer to the sun than we are while at others Earth will be closer.
Since the phases of the moon are a function of the moon's position
relative to Earth and the sun, the moon is closer to the sun than
Earth is during the crescent and new moon phases and farther away
during the gibbous and full moon phases. Regardless of the phase,
the moon is always about 400 times closer to Earth that it is to
the sun.
