Are moon and sun the same?
No. The sun is the bright yellow thing in the sky. The moon is the big white thing in the sky.
How far away is the sun in miles?
It varies - the moon orbits the Earth so the distance will change depending on Earth's distance from the sun as well as the moon's distance from the Earth. The minimum distance from the moon to the sun is when the Earth is closest to the sun and the moon is in new moon phase (meaning its closer to the sun than the Earth). The distance from the moon to the sun is: Earth's distance at perihelion - moon's distance from Earth at apogee. This works out to 146,692,370 km. The maximum distance from the moon to the sun is when the Earth is farthest from the sun and the moon is in full moon phase. The distance from the moon to the sun is Earth's distance at aphelion + moon's distance from Earth at apogee. This works out to 150,503,400 km.
What two things cause tides?
Tides are primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on Earth's oceans. The moon's gravitational force is stronger because it is closer to Earth, causing higher tides on the side of Earth facing the moon and on the opposite side.
Why does the moon orbit the Earth instead of the Sun?
The moon orbits the Earth instead of the Sun because of the gravitational pull between the Earth and the moon. This gravitational force keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth, rather than being pulled towards the Sun.
What makes the Moon wax and wane?
The Moon appears to wax and wane as seen from Earth due to its changing position relative to the Sun. When the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, we see the illuminated side (waxing). When the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun, we see the shadowed side (waning).
During a full moon where is 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.
Is the sun and moon rocky?
the moon is but the sun is not
What happens when the moon passess between the sun an earth?
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).

What is a non example of the sun?
A nonexample of a sun would have to be the moon.
What does the moon have that the sun and moon don't have?
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.
When was the moon closest to the sun it is at?
* 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.
Does the moon orbits or circles the sun?
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 a natural what of the sun it ends in a e?
The moon is a natural satellite of the sun.
Are the moon and sun the same size?
No, the moon and sun are not the same size. The sun is much larger than the moon.
Is the moon the same size as the sun?
No, the moon is not the same size as the sun. The sun is much larger than the moon.
Which is the smallest planet out of the Earth the Sun and the Moon?
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.
