Why can the moon appear as large as the sun even though you know the moon much smaller than the sun?
For the same reason you can cover either of them with your hand, even though it's much smaller than either.The Moon is much smaller than the Sun, but it's also much closer than the Sun.
How is the moon able to block the sun if it is so much smaller?
The moon can block the sun despite being much smaller because it is much closer to Earth. During a solar eclipse, the moon passes directly between the Earth and the sun, casting a shadow on Earth. The alignment of the sun, moon, and Earth allows the moon to cover the sun's disk from certain vantage points on Earth, creating the effect of the sun being blocked. This phenomenon is a result of the relative sizes and distances of the celestial bodies involved.
The Sun is closer to the Earth than the Moon is true or false?
True. The Sun is much closer to Earth than the Moon. The average distance from the Earth to the Sun is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers), whereas the average distance from the Earth to the Moon is about 238,855 miles (384,400 kilometers).
Is the moon as big as the sun?
No. The sun is 400 times the size of the moon.
Witch are more frequent eclepses of the moon or sun?
Eclipses of the moon are more frequent than eclipses of the sun. This is due to the larger size of the Earth's shadow that can cover the moon, compared to the moon's smaller shadow that can only cover a limited portion of the Earth during a solar eclipse.

Why do you have solar or lunar eclipses?
When the moon comes in between earth and the sun we witness solar eclipse. Though much smaller than the sun, the moon is much closer to earth so, it can cover the whole sun (from our view). The moon has no light of its own. It only reflects the light it gets from the sun. But, when earth comes in between the sun and the moon the shadow (umbra) of earth covers the moon completely. That's what we call lunar eclipse.

A solar eclipse can only happen during a new moon?
That is because the Moon has to be between the Sun and the Earth, to cover the Sun from our point of view. When this happens, we see the dark side of the Moon - i.e., it is new moon.That is because the Moon has to be between the Sun and the Earth, to cover the Sun from our point of view.

Does Pluto have sun?
Pluto has the same sun as we do. I mean, it's in our solar system. Do you mean "does it have a moon"? If so, it does have one moon, that is so much like Pluto, that the two are sopmetimes considered, double planets. Obviously, Pluto is not a planet, but yes, it has one moon.
Why can the Moon appear as large as the Sun even though you know the Moon is much smaller than the Sun?
The Moon is much closer to Earth than the Sun is, therefore making the moon appear to be as large or larger than the sun when viewed from Earth.
