The moons distance from Earth varies during its orbit, but is around 363,100 km or 225,620 miles at its closest (Perigee). Although this seems quite far, its only a small distance when compared to the Earth sun distance, which is 147,098,290km or 91,402,600 miles at its closest. So the moons closest distance to the sun will be around 146,735,200km.

What is the relationship between the moon sun and earth during high tides?
All three are in line, so the Moon is either opposite to the Sun (close to full moon), or in the same direction as the Sun (close to new moon).
Name the star seen close to the moon other than your sun?
mercury
Why is the Moon in front of the Sun?
During a solar eclipse, the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, casting its shadow on the Earth and blocking the Sun's light. This alignment occurs because of the relative positions and orbits of the Earth, Moon, and Sun.
On which day of the month New moon or full moon day can a solar eclipse occur?
Solar eclipse happens when shadow of moon falls on sun. Solar eclipse cannot happen on full moon day because on full moon day earth is in between Sun and Moon and hence moon cannot cast shadow on sun.
Why do annular solar eclipses happen?
An annular eclipse occurs when the Sun and Moon are exactly in line, but the apparent size of the Moon is smaller than that of the Sun. This is because the distance of the moon from earth varies. The Sun appears as a very bright ring, or annulus, surrounding the outline of the Moon.
What is the relationship between the moon sun and earth during high tides?
All three are in line, so the Moon is either opposite to the Sun (close to full moon), or in the same direction as the Sun (close to new moon).
Is the moon as hot as the Sun because it is close to it?
No, the Moon is nowhere near as hot as The Sun, and the Moon is as far away from the Sun (on average) as Earth is.
Which is the biggest the sun or the moon?
The Sun is ALOT bigger than the moon but the moon looks bigger because it is so close to us.
Why the sun and moon seems to be the same size in the sky?
The sun is big but far away. the moon is close(er) but smallish
What is the moon in its orbit when you cannot see it at all?
That's at the "new" moon, when the Moon is very close to the Sun.
Is the moon and sun coming close to earth today?
no its an illusion
When the moon is closet to the sun it is called what moon?
well actually the moon is way far away to the sun but to us they are close but it is always called the moon but once its the moon on top pf the sun or the other way around its called an eclipse
Why is one phase of the moon not visible from the Earth?
At the new moon, the Moon is very close to the Sun in the sky, and is lost in the glare.
What is the position of the sun moon and earth when there is a new moon?
At a "new" moon, the Moon is almost directly between the Sun and the Moon, so that the lit side of the Moon is facing toward the Sun, not the Earth, and the Moon is very close to the Sun in the sky, and it is difficult to see in the glare. I say "almost directly" because if the Moon were directly between the Sun and the Earth, there would be a solar eclipse. But because the Moon's orbit around the Earth is at an angle to the Earth's orbit around the Moon, the lineup is only close enough for an eclipse about every 6 months or so.
Is it quicker to fly to the moon than it is to the sun?
The moon is much close to the Earth and therefore is shorter to fly to.
What kind of eclipse do you have when the moon is between the sun andthe earth?
If the moon is lined up close enough to cross directly in front of the sun, then you have a solar eclipse.
How does the temperature change when the moon is close to the earth?
It doesn't - the moon's proximity to Earth has no bearing on Earth's temperature - the Sun does that.
