Because the next nearest object to us that makes its own light
is 265 thousand times as far away from us as the sun is.
yes
No. The Sun is
The position of the sun relates to the length of the shadow cast by an object because, when the sun is above the object there is no shadow yet, when the sun is say to the east of the object a shadow is cast towards the west, the farther the sun for example east the longer the shadow will be towards the west.
Um, Wouldn't that be the sun?!?!
it is beacause it is a ball of fire
Venus
The Moon is illuminated by the Sun. At full moon, we see the bright part - the illuminated part. At new moon, we see mostly the dark part. (This part is also slightly visible, due to light reflected from the Earth.)
Gemini is a constellation, not a specific object in the sky.
Even on Jupiter, or in the vicinity of Jupiter, the sun is still the brightest object in the sky. The brightest planet would be Saturn.
NOOB THAT MEANS THAT YOU ARE A n00b
The sun determines a shadow's position and length based on its angle in the sky relative to the object casting the shadow. The higher the sun is in the sky, the shorter the shadow will be, while a lower sun angle will create a longer shadow.
Look toward the western part of the sky after the sun set.it the brightest object in that direction.
