The sun is the largest in size compared to the moon and Earth. It has a diameter about 109 times that of Earth and is about 400 times farther away from Earth than the moon is.
The moon is moving further away by 1.5cm from the Earth every year.
The Sun is about 400 times as big (diameter) as the Moon. It just happens that the Sun is about 400 times as far away as the Moon so that when the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun there can be a total eclipse of the Sun. The orbit of the Moon is eleiptical , sometimes close and sometimes farther away from the earth and when the alignment happens at a time when the Moon is farther away, the eclipse is annular (like a ring).
No, the North Star (Polaris) is much farther from the Earth than the Moon. The Moon is approximately 238,855 miles away from Earth, while Polaris is about 434 light-years away.
The sun is approximately 400 times the size of the moon, however, it is also approximately 400 times farther away. This relationship cancels out and makes the sun and the moon appear observationally to be the same size on earth.

No. The moon is the closest astronomical object to Earth. The closest star to Earth is the sun, which is about 400 times farther away than the moon. The next nearest star is more than 260,000 times farther away than the sun.
The sun is the largest in size compared to the moon and Earth. It has a diameter about 109 times that of Earth and is about 400 times farther away from Earth than the moon is.
It doesn't look like the Moon will hit Earth any time soon. In fact, it is gradually getting farther and farther away from Earth.
The moon is moving further away by 1.5cm from the Earth every year.
The average distance from the Earth to the Moon is about 238,855 miles (384,400 kilometers), while the average distance from the Earth to the Sun is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers). This means the Sun is approximately 390 times farther away from the Moon than the Moon is from the Earth. Therefore, the Sun is roughly 390 times the distance from the Moon as it is from the Earth.

Not even close. The Moon orbits the Earth, which is 93 million miles away from the Sun, at a distance of about 240,000 miles. Jupiter is more than five times distant from the Sun than the Earth, at about 480 million miles away.
Mars is tremendously farther away from the Earth than the moon is.
Earth is the only one.12 people have walked on the moon. The closest that any other planetcan ever come to the Earth is 108 times farther away than the moon is.
The earth's diameter is 3.67 times the moon's, and 0.0092 of the sun's diameter. The distance to the sun is 391 times the distance to the moon. The moon's diameter is 0.283 of the earth's, and 0.0025 of the sun's. The distance to the earth is 0.0026 times the distance to the sun. The sun's diameter is 109 times the earth's, and 400 times the moon's diameter. On the average over a month, the earth and moon are at equal distances from the sun.
The moon is about 384,403 kilometers (238,857 miles) from Earth, and about 4,564 million kilometers (2,835 million miles) from Neptune. So, the moon is much closer to the Earth, Neptune over 10,000 times farther away.
