Perigee

No. During an annular eclipse the moon is farther away than during a total eclipse, which is why it appears smaller in the sky and cannot completely block the sun.
Because it does travel across the sky, the moon orbits the earth, the earth doesn't orbit the moon.
The moon appears high in the sky because the moon is in space. We are on earth.We are on the ground and the moon is in the sky. The moon appears to be highest in the sky in the tropical regions of the world, just like the sun - since the moon's orbit is almost perpendicular to the tropics.At higher latitudes, the moon will appear lower in the sky for the same reason as the sun is.
The earth orbits the sun, and the moon orbits the earth. Often, during the moon's orbit phase, it will appear during daylight. Once the sunlight has grown bright, the moon will appear less visible to the naked eye in the bright sky. Though it is commonly accepted (in nursery rhymes, especially) that the sun appears in the day and the moon appears in the night, this is not the case!

Roughly four (4) times as large.
No. When the moon is full, it appears half-the-sky away from the sun, so it can't be in the sky at the same time that the sun is.
No. During an annular eclipse the moon is farther away than during a total eclipse, which is why it appears smaller in the sky and cannot completely block the sun.
The blueness of the earth's sky is due to the sunlight passing through the atmosphere. There is no atmosphere on the moon, so the sky appears black. The sky is not filled with stars during the day on the moon, with the sun in the sky it is far too bright to see the stars.
To an observer anywhere outside the atmosphere of a planet, including on the moon, the sky appears black everywhere except where a star or illuminated body appears.

The full moon appears larger when it's low in the sky than it does when it's high. That's easily shown to be an optical illusion. For example, when the moon is photographed both high and low in the sky, both images on the film are the same size.

The full moon appears in the western part of the sky at sunset. The full moon will rises over the western horizon as the sun sets.
I dont think so; Earth would appear to be bigger from moon compared to what Moon appears to be from Earth The earth's diameter is 3.67 times the moon's diameter. As seen from the moon, the earth appears 3.67 times as large in the sky as the moon appears from earth.
