Well, Buckle up! The Earth and the Sun both exist in our wacky ol' Milky Way galaxy. Also, they both have mass and gravity, unlike those pesky inflatable pool floaties. So, yeah, they're basically cosmic BFFs, except the Sun attracts a lot more attention with its "look at me, I'm a big ball of fire" attitude.

What similarities do the sun and earth share?

The sun and Earth both have a spherical shape, rotate on an axis, and are part of the solar system. They also both have magnetic fields and gravitational pull that affect each other. Additionally, they both have atmospheres and support life in different ways.


Which group of planets shares the most characteristics?

Both Jovian planets and Terrestrial planets share a similar amount of characteristics. For example, Jovian planets are gaseous, large and farthest from the sun. While Terrestrial planets are rocky, dense, closest to the sun and small (in comparison to Jovian planets). The two planets with the most similarities are Venus and Earth hence them being called "sister planets" due to to their similar masses.


How are the earth and sun alike or different?

That withstanding their differences, both the Earth and Sun share similarities. Both bodies are relatively round. The Sun and Earth are also depressions in the space and time fabric - that is they have gravitation. Both bodies are similar in that they also influence each other with their gravities. Another shared aspect is that both are part of and integral to the same Solar System and Milky Way Galaxy


What are the similarities between earth and the sun?

Both the Earth and Sun are roughly spherical and rotate on an axis. Both have satellite bodies and revolve around a larger mass (Earth around the Sun in the solar system, the Sun as part of the Milky Way Galaxy). Both have mass that imparts gravity. Although the Earth has a higher percentage of heavier atoms (iron, aluminum, oxygen) compared to the Sun (mostly hydrogen, some helium) both contain at least some of the same chemical elements. Each is also hotter at its core than its surface.


What is farther than the earth the moon or the sun?
