Does the sun and moon spin around the earth?
No, the Earth and the Moon revolve together around the Sun. (The Moon orbits the Earth and both orbit the Sun together.)
Does the sun go in front of the moon or does the moon go in front of the sun?
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.
When the sun and earth are in a straight line it is called?
It could be a lunar eclipse (when the earth is in between both the sun and the moon) or a solar eclipse (when the moon is in between both the earth and the sun).
Does the moon orbit the sun or the moon?
Both. because the moon goes around the earth while the earth is going around the sun. And that's how it orbits both.
Why doesn't the moon orbit around the sun like the earth does?
The moon does orbit the sun. The moon orbits round the earth, while both earth and the moon orbits round the sun.
When are the sun moon and earth in a strait line?
Either a Solar Eclipse- (Sun-Moon-Earth) or a Lunar Eclipse- (Sun-Earth-Moon). These are both straight lines.
When the sun earth and moon are in a straight line it is called?
It could be a lunar eclipse (when the earth is in between both the sun and the moon) or a solar eclipse (when the moon is in between both the earth and the sun).
How much farther is the sun from earth than the moon from earth?
Find the distance from the earth to the moon, then the the distance from the earth to the sun, and simply subtract the both.
Why moon revolve around the earth why not around the sun?
The moon does BOTH.
Which is larger the moon or the sun?
Saturn - It is larger than both the earth and the moon
Do both the earth and moon revolve around the sun?
No, the moon does not revolve around the sun. The Earth does though. You might be getting confused because the moon revolves around the Earth.
IS THE EARTH'S MOON CLOSER TO THE EARTH OR THE SUN?
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.
