Yes. The sun is a giant ball of burning gas, giving off light on its own. However, the moon is a chunk of rock orbiting the Earth. It does not give off light, rather, it is lit up by the light given off by the sun, so that we can see it. The amount of moon we can see is determined by the angles involved with the sun, moon and us.

-- 82 times the mass
-- has air, vs. none

∙ 8y agoNo. Earth is the third planet from the sun and is the largest of the terrestrial planets. It has a moderate temperature capable of sustaining life and much of its surface is covered in liquid water. Triton is the largest of the moons that orbit the planet Neptune. It is much smaller and much colder than Earth. Its surface us made of varies types of ice.
