lol the moon
Some stars are very far, more then Saturn so they look small.
No. The moon is the closest astronomical object to Earth. The closest star to Earth is the sun, which is about 400 times farther away than the moon. The next nearest star is more than 260,000 times farther away than the sun.
Stars are much farther away than the sun and the moon. The sun is the closest star to Earth, at about 93 million miles away, while the moon is much closer at about 238,855 miles away. Other stars in our galaxy are light years away from us.
Closer than what ?? The sun is 390 times farther from the moon than we are,and the next nearest star is about 109 million times farther from the moon thanwe are.
Yes, stars are much farther away from Earth than the moon. The moon is approximately 238,855 miles away from Earth, while the closest star to Earth (Proxima Centauri) is about 4.24 light years away, which is significantly farther.
No, the North Star (Polaris) is much farther from the Earth than the Moon. The Moon is approximately 238,855 miles away from Earth, while Polaris is about 434 light-years away.
The moon is much closer to us than any planet or star. Venus comes the closest to us out of all the planets, and event at its closest is still more than 100 times farther away the the moon is. The nearest star other than the sun is several million times farther away than the moon is.
No. The stars are much farther away than the moon is. For reference, it takes a little more than a second for light to reach us from the moon. The light from the nearest star (other than the sun) takes more than 4 years to reach us.
The stars are much farther away from Earth than the Moon. The average distance to the Moon is about 238,855 miles (384,400 kilometers), while the nearest star, Proxima Centauri, is approximately 4.24 light-years away, which translates to about 25 trillion miles (40 trillion kilometers). Thus, stars are vastly more distant than our Moon.
You may have noticed that the nearer a thing is to you, the larger it looks,and the farther away it is, the smaller it looks.The nearest star is almost 400 times farther away from you than the moon is.The next nearest star is about 270,000 times farther away than the nearest one is.Here's an experiment that shows how well this distance effect worksto make things look bigger or smaller:-- Stand outsidse, facing the sun.-- Hold out your arm, and put up your hand at the end of your arm.-- Can you cover the whole sun with your hand ?The sun is a star, more than 1.7 million milesacross.But it's about 164 billion times farther away from you than your hand is.
As far as we know, no astronauts have ever set out on a trip to any star. We can be sure that if any ever did, they're still on the way. It's much more likely that any astronauts who ever set out to travel to a distant star used their imaginations instead of an engine. That's the great thing about being human. The farthest humans have been is the Moon, using chemical propulsion. The nearest star is about 390 times farther away than the moon is, and the second nearest star is 271,000 times farther away than the nearest one is.
Saturn is farther from Earth than both the moon and stars. The moon is the closest astronomical body to Earth, orbiting at an average distance of about 384,400 kilometers. Stars are much farther away, with the closest star to Earth (other than the sun) being over 4 light-years away. Saturn, a planet in our solar system, is located about 1.2 billion kilometers from Earth on average.
