The Moon is closest to Earth out of the options provided. The average distance from the Moon to Earth is about 238,855 miles, while the Sun is approximately 93 million miles away. Clouds are much closer to Earth's surface than either the Moon or the Sun, typically forming within the lowest few miles of the atmosphere.
A moon, by definition, is not a planet. The closest planet to our sun is Mercury, followed by Venus and the Earth, then Mars.
The moon is 380,000 km (238,000 miles) from earth, the sun is 149 million km (93 million miles) away.The closest star is alpha cetauri (4.2 light years) It is a binary or double star which is orbited by a third star called proxima centauri. At some points in its orbit, proxima is the closest. The next closest is Barnard's star(5.9 light years)
The moon that revolves around the earth is not a star, it is part of the earth that was thrown off into space when the earth was hit by a large asteroid early in its development, about 30 million years after the earth first was formed. The closest star to the Earth is our Sun, it is a star and it is called Sol.
The order from closest to farthest from the sun is Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto (which is now considered a dwarf planet). The moon is not included in this list as it orbits the Earth, not the sun.
No, clouds do not cover the sun at night because the sun is below the horizon. At night, the Earth is positioned such that the sun is not visible from that particular location. Clouds can block the moon or stars, but they have no effect on the sun when it is nighttime.
The moon is closer to the earth than is the sun.
A moon, by definition, is not a planet. The closest planet to our sun is Mercury, followed by Venus and the Earth, then Mars.
* When Earth is at periapsis (closest to the Sun, in January), Earth, and therefore the Moon, are closer to the Sun than when Earth is at apapsis. * On average, at new moon the Moon is closer to the Sun than at full moon, since at full moon the Moon is opposite to the Sun in the sky.
That would be at the moment of the New Moon closest to perihelion, which happens to be the one closest to New Years day or January 2. The moon is then in between the Earth and sun, while the Earth/Moon system is closest to the sun.
The moon is much closer to the earth that the sun. The moon is about 239,000 miles away. The sun is about 93,000,000 miles away.
No. Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. The moon is not a planet and is the closest object in space to Earth.
The Moon is the closest to my planet called Earth, followed by the Sun and then Uranus.
The closest that the Moon gets to the Sun is 146,692,378 kilometers, which is not significantly closer than the Earth does. As the Moon orbits the earth in a regular orbit, it is the same average distance from the Sun as the Earth. At any given time the Moon is about 370 times farther from the Sun than it is from the Earth.The Moon is at the absolutely closest point when the Moon is at apogee, on the side of the Earth closest to the Sun, and the Earth is at perihelion with respect to the Sun. This absolute closest approach is incredibly rare, and the actual distance will vary each year.Overall, the Moon's "sun-side" perigee is somewhere around 405,000 km, and the perihelion of the Earth to the Sun is about 147 million km. So, the closest approach of the Moon to the Sun is about 146.5 million km, or about 0.98 AU.

No, Earth's Moon it is the closest - since Mercury and Venus have no moons.

It depends on where Venus is in its orbit relative to Earth. At its closest, Venus is closer to Earth and the moon than it is to the sun. The distance between Venus and the sun does not change significantly, but its distance to Earth does; at times it may be directly between Earth and the sun, while at other times it may be on the other side of the sun.
