moon
No, our moon is closer to Earth than the Sun is.
well... if you mean that the moon is closer to the sun than the earth, then yes.
Mercury is always closer to the Sun than the moon.
the moon
Yes. Due to orbit the sun and moon will have no exact distence measurment. when the sun covers the moon or the moon covers the sun they are in deed closer to each other
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.
In order for a full moon to be observed the earth is closer to sun. During a full lunar eclipse the earth has to be between sun and a full 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.
* When Earth is at periapsis (closest to the Sun, in January), Earth, and therefore the Moon, are closer to the Sun than when Earth is at apapsis. * On average, at new moon the Moon is closer to the Sun than at full moon, since at full moon the Moon is opposite to the Sun in the sky.
The moon causes larger tides than the sun, even though the sun is much larger than the moon, because the moon is tremendously closer to the Earth than the sun is.
The moon is closer to the earth than is the sun.
The moon is much closer to the Earth than it is to the Sun.
