Phobias is closest to mars
The Earth's distance from the moon or Mars is always changing. The closest the moon can get to Earth is 225,622 miles. The farthest it can get is 252,088 miles. The closest possible distance from Earth to Mars is 33.9 million miles. Therefore the Earth is always much closer to the moon than Mars, no matter where they are in orbit.
Mars is closer to the Earth than to the sun by 150 million kilometers. The moon's orbit is definitely much, much less than 150 million kilometers. So, I conclude that the moon is closer to Mars than the Sun.
the moon
the moon because its closer to earth
It was closer, and therefore, easier to get to than Mars.
Since the Moon accompanies Earth, it basically has the same distance to the Sun as Earth does. Sometimes a bit closer, sometimes a bit farther, but this difference is insignificant. The Earth - and therefore the Moon as well - is closer to the Sun than Mars.
The moon is not getting closer but further
The moon was closer. less money spent to reach moon, mars had a harsh invironment (Ect.)
No. The moon is closer to Earth than Mars is, but it orbits Earth independent of the motion of Mars. Sometimes the moon may appear right next to Mars in the sky while at other times it may be opposite Mars.
The moon is closer to the sun. Since the moon orbits Earth, it is always about the same distance from the sun as Earth is.
The moon doesn't wobble, if you refer to the movement commonly called 'libration'. That is an apparent motion only, and not a true motion of the moon. There is both east/west libration and north/south libration, and they are independent of one another. Mars is not pushing the moon closer to earth. On average, the moon is very slowly moving farther and farther from the earth, not closer.
