Do the planets look smaller than the sun because they are further away?
No. Planets look smaller than the sun because they actually are smaller.
Are any moons in the solar system larger than planets?
No, in our solar system, there are no moons that are larger than the eight planets. The largest moon in our solar system is Ganymede, which is a moon of Jupiter, but it is still smaller than Mercury, the smallest planet.
Are moons always smaller than planets?
The Moon has no natural satellites of its own. In theory it could (as planets have their own moons), but it is unlikely due to the precise orbital requirements. Most possible scenarios do not create stable orbits.
Why does the moon appear bigger than the planets and stars?
The moon is much closer to us than any planet or star. Venus comes the closest to us out of all the planets, and event at its closest is still more than 100 times farther away the the moon is. The nearest star other than the sun is several million times farther away than the moon is.

How does the planet Pluto rate in terms of the other planets in term of size?
Pluto is smaller in size compared to the other planets in our solar system. It is classified as a dwarf planet, with a diameter that is smaller than Earth's moon. Among the eight recognized planets, Pluto ranks the smallest.
When compared with most stars are planets brighter or smaller?
Well,planets do not have any light of their own so they are definitely not brighter and yes there may be some stars smaller than the planets but most of the stars are bigger than the planets . But on the whole the Space is not that much explored so that we can get any cumulative answer.
Which will change position in the sky more quickly the moon or planet?
the moon because it is closer than the planets.
Do any planets have the same moon?
No two planets share the same moon.
Are any moons in the solar system larger than planets?

What are the planets on the moon?
None. The Earth's moon is not a planet and there are no planets "ON" any moon. Many planets in the solar system have several moons.
Does earth has a larger or smaller moon than other planets?
Our Moon is generally rated at the large end of the scale.Most planetary moons (such as those around Mars) are smaller than ours. To find any moons bigger than ours, you generally have to go to Jupiter or Saturn, where you will find the biggest moons in the system like Ganymede, Callisto, and Titan.
Does any other planet than earth have a moon?
All the planets in our solar system, other than Mercury and Venus, have at least one moon.
Was Pluto a moon to any planets?
Yes, Pluto was a moon to one of the planets called Neptune.
