The Sun is very big. You could fit about 1,300,000 Earths inside the Sun ( ignoring the spaces between the spheres). The Sun is about 865,000 miles in diameter and the Earth is about 7,925 miles in diameter.

Is the moon at apogee near to or far from the earth?
The sun is approximately 1 AU (149,597,870.7 km. or 92,955,807.27 mi.) from the Earth. Compared to Mercury, the Earth isn't that close to the Sun, but compared to Jupiter or Saturn, it is pretty close. ================================= That's a fine example of a question to which you can get different answers from different people, because the criteria used to define it are so arbitrary. "Close" is a concept that has different meanings in different contexts ... just as Prof. Einstein so brilliantly expounded in his work on Relativity.. If you live in Chicago, then the sun is 270 thousand times farther from you than Des Moines is, but 270,000 times closer to you than the next nearest star is. So in the end, it really depends on what you call "close".
What causes the shadow which makes the moon change its shape?
