∙ 8y agoAll three have some gas, but Earth is mostly liquid, the moon is mostly solid, and the sun is mostly plasma.
When the sun and the moon are aligned, we experience either a new moon or a full moon. During a new moon, the sun and moon are aligned with the moon between the Earth and the sun, causing the moon to be largely invisible. During a full moon, the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned with the Earth between the sun and the moon, resulting in a fully illuminated moon.
Venus and Mars
Sun, Jupiter, Earth, Moon. The Sun is the largest, followed by Jupiter, then Earth, and finally the Moon being the smallest.
The Earth is larger than the Moon, but the Sun is much larger than both the Earth and the Moon. The Sun is a star that is about 109 times the diameter of Earth.
The phases of the Moon are caused by the relative positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun. As the Moon orbits Earth, the amount of sunlight it reflects changes based on its position relative to the Sun. When the Moon is between the Earth and Sun, we see a New Moon, and when the Moon is on the opposite side of Earth from the Sun, we see a Full Moon.

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.

There is no Sun - Moon system The Earth revolves around the Sun, the Moon revolves around the Earth. There is a Sun - Earth system and a Earth - Moon system.
All elements that occur in nature occur on Earth, the Sun, and the Moon - but the proportions are different. The main difference is that the Sun is made up mainly of hydrogen and helium; both are relatively scarce on Earth and on the Moon.
how do he earth and moon rely on the sun
The sun and moon, largely.
When the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, it is a Full Moon but when the Sun, Moon and Earth are directly in line - we will get a lunar eclipse.
The moon is to the earth, as the earth is to the sun.
