The Moon is closer to Earth than Polaris. The Moon is our planet's natural satellite, orbiting at an average distance of about 384,400 km, while Polaris is a star located about 433 light-years away from Earth, making it much farther.
It is closer to the Earth
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.
the moon
No, our moon is closer to Earth than the Sun is.
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.
During a full moon, the moon is opposite the sun with Earth in between, meaning the moon is closer to Earth and further from the sun. This alignment allows the moon to appear fully illuminated from our perspective on Earth.
The moon is closer to the earth than is the sun.
The moon is not a star it is a moon. A star is made of gas - the moon is solid But it is the only object to orbit the earth
Earth is the closest planet the moon, as it is our planet's moon and orbits Earth.
