The "settings of the sun and moon" refer to the points on the horizon where the sun and moon appear to descend below the Earth’s surface. This phenomenon occurs due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis, creating a cycle of day and night. The sun typically sets in the west, while the moon's setting can vary depending on its phase and position in the sky. Both settings play a significant role in natural rhythms and have been celebrated in various cultures for their beauty and symbolism.
A nonexample of a sun would have to be the moon.
The moon has a gravitational effect on Earth that causes tides, which is not caused by the sun. Additionally, the moon has a surface with craters and mountains, while the sun is a ball of hot gases without a solid surface.
The moon is a natural satellite of the sun.
No. The sun is 400 times the size of the moon.
Neither the sun nor the moon are planets. The sun is brighter than the moon by far. The sun emits its own light. The moon only reflects light from the sun.
During a full moon, the Sun is opposite to the Moon, in the sky.During a full moon, the Sun is opposite to the Moon, in the sky.During a full moon, the Sun is opposite to the Moon, in the sky.During a full moon, the Sun is opposite to the Moon, in the sky.
the moon is but the sun is not
When the moon passes between the Sun and Earth there is a new moon. In a special case where the Sun and Moon are aligned there is an eclipse of the Sun (the moon blocking view of the Sun).

* 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.
The moon is a natural satellite of the sun.
No, the moon and sun are not the same size. The sun is much larger than the moon.

The Moon orbits the Sun. The gravitation of the Earth will provide slight disturbances to the Moon's orbit around the Sun, but mainly, the Moon moves around the Sun.The Moon orbits the Sun.

The moon is the smallest out of the Sun,Earth and moon. It should be note, though, that neither the sun nor the moon are planets; the sun is a star and the moon is a natural satellite.
