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.
it's so simple, if you see that when earth turns day an night happens butt when we turn only day and night happens because we block the sun which makes the mooncomes out and when we block the moon the sun comesout!

When the orientation of the Sun-Earth-Moon system forms a right triangle, we see first quarter or third quarter phases of the Moon, and we experience lower-than-average "neap" tides along the seacoasts.
Titan is the only moon in the solar system to have a substantial atmosphere. It also has liquid methane on its surface, making it the only known object other than Earth to have stable liquids.
As a fraction of the mass and diameter of its 'parent' body, earth's moon is the largest satellite of any in the solar system. It's been suggested that from a vantage point outside of the earth, the earth-moon system might be considered a 'double planet' rather than a planet and satellite.
-- triple the diameter
-- 82 times the mass
-- has air, vs. none
-- has water, vs. none
-- has life, vs. none
-- rotates about 365 times in each orbital revolution, vs. once
No. 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.
No. The Moon moves around the Earth. The Earth (together with the Moon) moves around the Sun.

Yes many plants , the sunflower among them, turn their leaves or crowns to face the light and heat of the Sun.
The sun rises in the East and sets in the West. They only 'appear' to move from East to West because of Earth's rotation on its axis.
Because as the moon is moving around the earth the earth is moving around the sun, meaning each week a different amount of light is hitting the moon because of the position of the sun and moon to earth
coz the sun lights up different parts of the moon........ i think
it has a sun a moon it is sideways
No. The sun is a star. The moon is a moon.
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.
Go to the moon, then the sun, you will soon find out.
The Sun is a Star, the Moon is just a rock
jesus the sun rotates when the moon ins in front of it !
The "light" from the moon is reflected sunlight. The phases of the moon are a clue as to the location of the sun.
The sun makes the moon have different shapes and sometimes the moon looks like nothing.
It changes by the sun's reflection on different parts of the moon
You get the phases of the moon from the Sun reflecting off the moon at different angles.
there are different shapes of the moon because its when the sun reflects on it on a way that's why the moon changes shape
Nothing would happen if the moon was on the left and the sun on the right. The moon and sun are often on different sides of the earth.
sun and moon different sun bigger, farther, hotter, heavier, brighter than moon sun all gas, moon all rock people been to moon, no people been to sun you can see moon day or night, but you can't see sun at night
As the moon travels around the Earth, different parts of it are lighted by the sun. We see various parts of the face that are being lit by the sun. Since the sun and shadow move around the moon, we see different parts of the moon face, or phases of the moon.
