How far is the earths moon from mercury?
Varying from the the distance from the Earth to the Moon + the distance from the sun to the earth + the distance from mercury to the sun, to the distance from the earth to the sun - the distance from mercury to the sun - the distance from the earth to the moon
Why do the moon and sun seem the same distance from earth?
because to earth and moon are like next door neighbors so that it feel like the same distance but its not.
What is the proximity from the moon to the sun?
The average distance from the Moon to the Sun is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers). However, this distance varies because both the Moon and Earth follow elliptical orbits around the Sun.
Why does it take the same time as the light from the sun to reach earth as it does for the moon?
It doesn't always do that. At some points in the Moon's orbit around the Earth, the distance from the Sun to the Moon and Earth is the same. At other points, the Moon is either closer or farther away from the Sun. But either way the distance between the Moon and Earth is so much smaller than the distance between the Sun and the Moon, that the difference in time becomes really, really tiny in comparison.
How much farther is the sun from earth than the moon from earth?
Find the distance from the earth to the moon, then the the distance from the earth to the sun, and simply subtract the both.
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.
How much closer is the moon to the sun?
The moon's average distance from the sun is exactly the same as the earth's average distance from the sun.
Is the moon or mars closter to the sun?
The moon is closer to the sun. Since the moon orbits Earth, it is always about the same distance from the sun as Earth is.
How far is the earths moon from mercury?
Varying from the the distance from the Earth to the Moon + the distance from the sun to the earth + the distance from mercury to the sun, to the distance from the earth to the sun - the distance from mercury to the sun - the distance from the earth to the moon
How far away is the sun in miles?
It varies - the moon orbits the Earth so the distance will change depending on Earth's distance from the sun as well as the moon's distance from the Earth. The minimum distance from the moon to the sun is when the Earth is closest to the sun and the moon is in new moon phase (meaning its closer to the sun than the Earth). The distance from the moon to the sun is: Earth's distance at perihelion - moon's distance from Earth at apogee. This works out to 146,692,370 km. The maximum distance from the moon to the sun is when the Earth is farthest from the sun and the moon is in full moon phase. The distance from the moon to the sun is Earth's distance at aphelion + moon's distance from Earth at apogee. This works out to 150,503,400 km.
Why do the moon and sun seem the same distance from earth?
because to earth and moon are like next door neighbors so that it feel like the same distance but its not.
How far from the sun is the moon in kilometers?
The moon's average distance from the sun is exactly the same as the Earth's ... about 149,597,870 kilometers.
Why does the moon and earth have the same astronomical units?
If you mean the same distance from the sun, it is because the moon orbits Earth nearly 400 times closer than Earth orbits the sun. This is less than the variation in Earth's distance from the sun due to its orbital eccentricity.
What is the proximity from the moon to the sun?
The average distance from the Moon to the Sun is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers). However, this distance varies because both the Moon and Earth follow elliptical orbits around the Sun.
How do the earth and the sun have the same average distance from the sun?
it is the moon average 5,000 miles andkil from sun
Why does it take the same time as the light from the sun to reach earth as it does for the moon?

But either way the distance between the Moon and Earth is so much smaller than the distance between the Sun and the Moon, that the difference in time becomes really, really tiny in comparison.
What is the distance of the earth's moon from the sun?
The Earth and the Earth's moon, which orbits the Earth, are both approximately 93,000,000 miles or 150,000,000 kilometers from the sun. Since the moon revolves around the Earth regularly, it's closer to the sun than Earth is during half of the time, and farther from the sun during the other half. So, on the average, the moon is exactly the same distance from the sun as the Earth is.
