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, the moon is not a giant ball of fire. It is a rocky object that reflects the light of the sun, which is why we see it bright in the sky.
The Earth and the Moon are not made mostly of gas but the Sun is.
Simply put, the sun, our sun, is a great big ball of burning gas. The moon on the other hand is a large cold lump of rock that is orbiting the earth. The moon revolves around the earth and the earth revolves around the sun. A moon is a hunk of rock and dust orbiting a planet. Planets orbit their star, which is a giant ball of gas and thermonuclear fire. A Sun is a huge object that fuses Hydrogen to make vast amounts of energy. The Moon is a ball of rock, much smaller in comparison.
Yes it does! The moon isn't made up of any gas. Gas is what gives the sun its natural glow. That is also why you see the moon in different shapes, due to where the sun is in the solar system.
No, the sun and the moon are not both stars. Our Sun is known as a Main Sequence star, or just an average sized star. Our moon is a planetary satellite, but are kept as moons for short. A star is classified if it is bright and burns hydrogen and helium gas, while a moon, or planetary satellite, are classified when a smaller rocky object (the moon) orbits a planet.
A gas giant is similar in composition to the Sun. The Sun is much bigger than the gas giants and it is a star not a planet, of course.
Neptune is the gas giant farthest from the sun.Neptune
The giant streams of exploding gas on the sun are called prominences. The sun is at the very center of the solar system.
No, the moon is not a giant ball of fire. It is a rocky object that reflects the light of the sun, which is why we see it bright in the sky.
The sun is a GIANT ball of gas! It is also a star.
Pandora is the fifth moon of the gas giant "Polyphemus" in the movie avatar.
White power!
"Triton" is the largest moon of planet Neptune.
The Earth and the Moon are not made mostly of gas but the Sun is.
Mercury doesn't have a gas giant, a gas giant is a type of planet( the 4 planets farthest from the sun)
no its a star if it was a gas giant it would be a planet
They are the path taken by the gas giant planets (that is Jupiter and Saturn) as they go round the Sun.
