What else can I help you with?
Is the sun closer to earth or moon?
The Sun is at the same average distance from both the Earth and the Moon because the Earth-Moon system orbits the sun. However, since the Moon orbits around the Earth, it is sometimes closer to the Sun than is the Earth, and sometimes farther. But the difference is negligible since the Sun is more than 380 times as far from Earth as the Moon.
When the moon is full earth or the moon is closer to the sun?
During a full moon, the moon is opposite the sun with Earth in between, meaning the moon is closer to Earth and further from the sun. This alignment allows the moon to appear fully illuminated from our perspective on Earth.
What has the greater affect on tides the moon or the sun?
The moon causes larger tides than the sun, even though the sun is much larger than the moon, because the moon is tremendously closer to the Earth than the sun is.
What happens if the moon gets closer to the earth?
As the moon gets closer, it will have to orbit more rapidly, making the lunar months shorter, and the lunar tides much stonger. At a certain point (officially known as the Roche limit) the moon would be destroyed by the effect of the Earth's tidal force on the moon, and would become a cloud of debris which would gradually turn into a ring around the Earth, much like the rings around Saturn.
Is the north star closer to the earth than the moon?
No, the North Star (Polaris) is much farther from the Earth than the Moon. The Moon is approximately 238,855 miles away from Earth, while Polaris is about 434 light-years away.
If the moon were closer to earth high tides would?
If the moon were closer to Earth, high tides would be higher and occur more frequently due to increased gravitational pull. The closer proximity would enhance the moon's influence on Earth's tides, leading to more pronounced tidal variations.
What would the moon do if it got closer to the sun?
The moon and the earth would probably just get hotter
Which would be better for a space colony mars or the moon?
the moon because its closer to earth
Is the moon closer to the star or the earth?
The moon is much closer to the Earth than it is to the Sun.
Is mercury closer to the size of the Earth or your moon?
It is closer to the Earth
What would happen to the phases if the moon was closer to earth?
Apparently, yes.
Is mercury or the moon closer to earth's size?
Mercury is larger than the moon and so is closer in size to Earth than the moon is. It should be noted that Mercury is closer in size to the moon than it is to Earth.
Which is closer to Earth the moon or the sun?
the moon
Is the sun closer to us then the moon is?
No, our moon is closer to Earth than the Sun is.
Where would you be if you traveled 6000000 miles into space?
Farther than the Moon, but still much closer to Earth than to any other planet.Farther than the Moon, but still much closer to Earth than to any other planet.Farther than the Moon, but still much closer to Earth than to any other planet.Farther than the Moon, but still much closer to Earth than to any other planet.

Is Sun gravitational power work on Moon also like Earth if yes then y moon does not revolve around Sun?
Because the moon is closer to the earth than the sun, so its gravitational force is stronger at a closer distance.
