the earth would not be as bright at night, and would possibly lose its gravitational pull from earth.
Definitely the SUN. If the sun were where the moon is in relation to the earth, the earth would be consumed by the sun.
Find the distance from the earth to the moon, then the the distance from the earth to the sun, and simply subtract the both.
The moon is moving further away by 1.5cm from the Earth every year.
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 Earth and the Moon are an average of 384,000 kilometers apart. The Sun is always more than 350 times farther from either the Earth or the Moon, and usually more than 400 times as far. The Earth-Moon system orbits about 150,000,000 kilometers from the Sun. The Earth-Moon distance is between 362,570 and 405,410 kilometers. The Moon-Sun distance is between and 146,688,000 and 152,508,000 kilometers.
The Moon will drift farther and farther from Earth, while Earth slows down, until Earth always shows the Moon the same face (just as the Moon already shows Earth the same face all the time). It doesn't seem that the Moon will completely escape from Earth's gravity.
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.
Definitely the SUN. If the sun were where the moon is in relation to the earth, the earth would be consumed by the sun.

Mars is tremendously farther away from the Earth than the moon is.
The moon is moving further away by 1.5cm from the Earth every year.
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.
The sun is about 390 times farther from earth than the moon is.
Not much further than it is from yours.
The Earth travels 365.25 times farther than the moon in one revolution. The moon's revolution around the Earth takes only one day; the Earth's revolution around the Sun takes 365.25 days.
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.
