The ancient Greek astronomer Hipparchus was one of the first to attempt to measure the relative distances to the moon and sun. He used geometric methods and observations of lunar eclipses to estimate the distance to the moon, while he devised a method to determine the distance to the sun using the concept of parallax. However, his measurements were not accurate by today's standards.

Who attempted to measure relative distances from the moon and sun?
nobody
Who attempted to measure the relative distances to the moon and the sun?
Aristahrcus. He attempted to just remember that.
Can you see the moon phases in space?
The phases of the moon are caused by the relative positions of the sun, the moon and the observer. It is possible to see phases of the moon in space depending on your position relative to the sun and the moon.
How are the phases of the moon created?
The phases of the moon are created by the relative position of the moon, to the earth, to the sun.
How many lightyears is the moon from the sun?
Not even close to a light year. Light years are used to measure interstellar and intergalactic distance. Distances within the solar system are much smaller. Since the moon orbits Earth, it is about the same distance from the sun as Earth is, give or take about 0.25%. That distances averages 1 astronomical unit, which is about 8 light minutes or 0.000016 light years.

Name a distance you would measure in kilometers?
Distances on the road, or very large parcels of land. Probably the distance from the earth to the moon.
What instrument measures a soccerfield?
A measuring wheel, string or measuring tape. A laser is also used to measure distances to as far away as the moon.
Why does the moon of earth not attract mars?
Actually it does attract Mars, but the distances between our Moon and Mars are so great relative to their individual masses that we find it difficult to measure the force of the attraction. Remember that the force of gravity is proportional to the product of the masses of two objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The reason we see a noticeable effect of the attraction of the Sun on the Earth and Mars - despite the great distance between the Sun and those planets is that the mass of the sun is enormous - enough to compensate for the great distances.
