What is the farthest away from the planet Earth the sun the moon the planet Mars or the night stars?
The night stars are farthest from the Earth. The other three objects -- Sun, Moon, and Mars -- are all within the Earth's solar system.
How does the sun moon stars earth moon move during day?
Earth rotates on its axis The moon orbits the Earth The sun IS a star so stars move the same way Earth takes a year to orbit the sun Moon takes a month to orbit the earth Earth takes a day to orbit around its axis The Sun does NOT move
Why sun moon and stars do not fall on earth?
The moon is in a stable orbit around Earth. In simple terms, the means that it is attracted to Earth by gravity, but its "sideways" motion relative to Earth keeps it from hitting us. As a result the moon goes around Earth in an almost circular fashion. The sun is far more massive than Earth, so instead of the sun orbiting Earth, Earth orbits the sun. The stars are themselves distant suns, some even bigger than our own, but so far away they appear as mere dots in the sky. These stars are far enough away that they do not experience any significant effect from the sun, but instead orbit the center of the galaxy.
Why are stars not as bright as the moon?
The stars are in fact brighter than the moon as many distant stars produce their own light (just like our sun) and the moon only reflects sunlight. However, since many of these stars are so far away and the moon is relatively close to the Earth the Full moon appears to be brighter.
Why the moon stars and sun change positions in the sky?
First of all, the stars don't move. The Earth moves around the Sun. The moon moves around the Earth and the whole SOLAR SYSTEM is moving.
What is the farthest away from the planet Earth the sun the moon the planet Mars or the night stars?
The night stars are farthest from the Earth. The other three objects -- Sun, Moon, and Mars -- are all within the Earth's solar system.
Is the sun moon and stars on the surface or beneath the earth?
Neither. The sun, moon, and stars are all well outside the Earth
Which is near to the earth sun or moon?
The moon is much closer to the earth that the sun. The moon is about 239,000 miles away. The sun is about 93,000,000 miles away.
Do the sun stars moon revolve around the earth?
no
Which is the nearest the moon or the sun?
The Moon is closer at 384400 km (0.0026 AU) away from Earth while the Sun is 150000000 KM (1 AU) from Earth.
How does the sun moon stars earth moon move during day?
Earth rotates on its axis The moon orbits the Earth The sun IS a star so stars move the same way Earth takes a year to orbit the sun Moon takes a month to orbit the earth Earth takes a day to orbit around its axis The Sun does NOT move
Are the moon and the sun the same distance from the earth?
No, the sun is much further away from the earth than the moon.
Why does the sun chase the moon and the stars?
The Sun doesn't "chase" anything. Sun, Moon, and stars seem to rise and set, due to the rotation of planet Earth.
Is earth closer to the sun then the moon?
Yes - and no !... The moon orbits the earth - so - there will be times each day, when it's closer to the sun than the earth is. During the earth's 'night time' - the moon is further away from the sun.

Is the sun or the moon furthest from earth?
The Moon is farther from the Sun, roughly the same average distance from the Sun as the Earth. The Sun is nearly 400 times farther from the Earth and Moon (150 million kilometers) than the Moon is from the Earth (about 384,000 kilometers).The center of the Earth is around 240 thousand miles away from the center of the Moon. The earth is around 93 millionmiles away from the sun. Therefore, the Moon is much, much farther away from the Sun than it is from the Earth.
Sun or moon which one is far from earth?
Moon is 250,000 miles away. Sun is 93,000,000 miles away.
