Neither the Sun nor the Moon are planets. Planets rotate around the Sun. Moons rotate around planets. There are other rules to explain the difference between planets and asteroids and comets which also rotate around the sun. Such as planets because of their strong gravitational field, clear objects in their rotation around the Sun, something a small asteroid, nor a small comet can do. However, neither the Sun (which planets rotate around), nor, the Moon (which rotates around the planet Earth), is a planet.
A moon, by definition, is not a planet. The closest planet to our sun is Mercury, followed by Venus and the Earth, then Mars.
No. The sun is a star, not a planet. The moon is a moon. If it had its own orbit around the sun it would be considered a terrestrial planet.
Ganymede is considered a moon because it orbits a planet and not the sun.
The tides around the planet. The Sun and moon both exert gravitational pull on the water on our planet.
The sun is a source of light, but it is not a planet.
A planet orbits a star such as the sun. A moon orbits a planet.
A moon, by definition, is not a planet. The closest planet to our sun is Mercury, followed by Venus and the Earth, then Mars.
No. Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. The moon is not a planet and is the closest object in space to Earth.
No. The sun is a star, not a planet. The moon is a moon. If it had its own orbit around the sun it would be considered a terrestrial planet.
No. A moon orbits around a planet. A planet orbits around the sun.
The sun and the moon are not planets. The sun is a star and the moon is a natural satellite. The brightest planet in Earth's sky is Venus.
No. The moon is a satellite and the sun is a star.
THE MOON ISN'T A PLANET IT'S A MOON The closest planet to the Sun is Mercury.
Generally, a dwarf planet orbits only the sun, whereas a moon orbits a planet, which in turn orbits a sun.
Venus is the brightest thing in the sky, after the Sun and Moon.
Not so much the moon but the sun. It lights the world. The moon is just a planet god created for a second planet.
