they both light up stuff
The moon is cold and it has craters . The sun is hot and has lava all over it!
the sun
the sun
They are both in space.
When the earth is between the moon and the sun, a full moon occurs. In the less common instance when the Earth is between the moon and the sun and all three are in line, a lunar eclipse occurs.
All elements that occur in nature occur on Earth, the Sun, and the Moon - but the proportions are different. The main difference is that the Sun is made up mainly of hydrogen and helium; both are relatively scarce on Earth and on the Moon.
The combination of the Earth and Moon orbits the sun. That is, their common center of mass orbits the sun. Their common center of mass is the place where the pivot would have to be if the Earth and the Moon were on opposite ends of a see-saw. At the same time, both the Earth and the Moon are orbiting their common center of mass ... which is actually located inside the Earth, because the Earth has about 80 times as much mass as the moon has. Viewed by an observer on the sun, the Earth is in an elliptical orbit around the sun with tiny, almost imperceptible wiggles in it, and the Moon is also in an elliptical orbit around the sun, with much larger wiggles in it. The wiggles in both orbits repeat with a period of 27.32 Earth-days.
they all have gavity and we all 8 planets are moons to the sun and they all have a ending
they are all spherical in shape

the first is a solar eclipse which happens when the moon passes in front of the sun blocking is view from earth. the second is a lunar eclipse which happens when the earth passes between the sun and the moon blacking out the moon temporarily. this is merely the earth casting its shadow on the moon as the earth orbits between the sun and moon.
All three rotate around a common center of gravity. Since the sun is so big, the common center is within it, so we can say that the Earth - Moon pair rotates around the sun. Since the Earth is so much larger than the moon, the same is true and you can say that the moon rotates around the Earth. But note that the moon never goes "backward", both Earth and the Moon follow a wavy path around the sun.
