gravity
sun's gravity pulls earth and earth pulls on the moon.
no the earth is closer to the sun that Uranus
No. The gravity that comes from the Sun pulls us towards the Sun. The gravity that comes from Earth pulls us towards Earth.
The movement of the planets (inertia) moves them perpendicular to the sun at about the same rate that the gravity from the sun pulls the planets in. The gravity of the sun is a little stronger as the earth is slowly, but continuously getting closer to the sun.
No, Venus is closer to the Sun than the Earth.
Earth is closer to the sun
The moon is closer to the Earth then the Sun because the Earth's gravity pulls the moon closer. Also trillions of years ago the Earth was very big. Scientists suspect a meteor hit the Earth and a piece of the Earth broke off. That piece is now called the Moon.
No, Venus is closer to the Sun than the Earth.
the earth not the sun
Yes, Mercury is closer to the sun than Earth.
the sun is closer to the earth because of how the earth move on its axis
Both. All heavenly bodies attract each other. But the force with which bodies will attract other bodies is based on the mass of the bodies in questions (and the distance between them). The more mass a body has, the more it pulls on another body. The sun is thousands of times more massive than the moon, so it pulls on it more than the moon pulls on the sun. The moon stays here, though, because the earth pulls on the moon, and it is a lot closer to the moon than the sun is. A lot closer. And even though the earth has only a tiny fraction of the mass of the sun, because earth is closer to the moon, the moon stays here with us and isn't pulled away by the sun.
