because it is so incredibly hot we think that it is nearer as we don't always realise that we can feel such a lot of heat (or brightness) from something that is so far away - for example at home we need to be in the same room as a radiator to feel the heat from it
Mercury orbits quickly around the sun due to its close proximity to the sun and the strong gravitational pull it experiences. This results in Mercury having a faster orbital speed compared to planets further away from the sun.
Engineering-wise, right now in 2012, we don't have the hardware or transportation systems to carry people to the moon, and the sun is roughly 400 times farther away than that. So in that sense, the answer is: No closer than you are right now. Survival-wise, if we didn't have this nice thick blanket of atmosphere protecting us, we would be in big trouble from the sun right where we're at. Consider what happens if you sit out on the beach a little too long in July or August. So in the survival sense, the answer is: As close as you can bring along enough protective gear to make it seem as if you're not really where you are.
The sun is very near to The Planet Earth because Earth is the third planet from the sun.
The thermosphere is the final layer of the atmosphere. Because it is so close to the sun, and there is nothing to protect it from the sun's heat, it is very warm.
not really because a sun is a star there are billions of them out there and we cant get to close to a sun/star because of the heat so we cant measure it so really the answer is no because the sun only looks bigger because its closer so its the closes star to us but most likely not the biggest
Autumn and the sun are not living, so they cannot be close friends.
The sun is very hot, so the astronaut would have to have a special suit to get close to the sun.
there is no reason
it is very close to the sun!
No because its so close to the sun =/
Hi! I think the reason why the two houses are so close is because the founder of Ravenclaw and the founder of Slytherin, were in love.
The sun appears close to Earth primarily due to its immense brightness and size compared to other celestial objects. Although it is about 93 million miles away, its light and heat dominate the daytime sky. Additionally, the vastness of space makes the sun seem more prominent and nearer than it actually is, especially when viewed from our perspective on the Earth's surface.
don't think so. no its to close to the sun.
A year on Mercury is short because it orbits very close to the sun and travels at a fast speed, completing an orbit in just about 88 Earth days. This close proximity results in a shorter orbital period compared to planets further from the sun.
It's close to the sun
because it is closer to the sun it has less to travel it is so fast because it is close to the sun and has less distance to travel
I think the question means "how close" to the Sun. The nearest Neptune gets to the Sun is about 4,453 million kilometers. Its orbit is fairly close to being a circle, so the farthest it gets from the Sun isn't much different.
