What else can I help you with?
Has any one been near Venus?
No. No astronauts have gone further away than the moon. Venus is much further away from us than that.
Why does the moon go further north in some years than others?
The moon doesn't actually go further north in some years than in others. Sometimes the moon appears closer or further away because of its location in its orbit around the Earth.
Is earth closer to the sun then the moon?
Yes - and no !... The moon orbits the earth - so - there will be times each day, when it's closer to the sun than the earth is. During the earth's 'night time' - the moon is further away from the sun.
How many times further is the sun away from the moon?
The average distance from the Earth to the Moon is about 238,855 miles (384,400 kilometers), while the average distance from the Earth to the Sun is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers). This means the Sun is approximately 390 times farther away from the Moon than the Moon is from the Earth. Therefore, the Sun is roughly 390 times the distance from the Moon as it is from the Earth.
What is he distance from the sun to earths moon in astronomical units?
The distance from the Sun to the Earth is one AU. The Moon orbits the Earth and sometimes is closer and sometimes further away from the Sun, so on average, it is also 1 AU from the Sun.
Is the moon moving closer to the Earth or farther away?
The moon is moving further away by 1.5cm from the Earth every year.
Over millions of years the moon is moving further away from the earth what will happen to the gravitational attraction between the moon and the earth as the moon gets further away?
As the moon gets further and further away, the gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon decreases. Because the Moon is not being attracted but being pushed away from the Earth. If the gravitational force would have increased, the moon would come closer and closer to the Earth.
Are the stars further than the moon?
Yes. They look smaller but they are bigger. They only look smaller because they are further away.
Are all stars further away from the earth than the moon?
Yes.
Is the moon on a collision course with Earth?
No. If anything, it is getting further away.
Are the moon and the sun the same distance from the earth?
No, the sun is much further away from the earth than the moon.
What is causing the moon to accelerate?
The Earth. The Earth and Moon are bound together by gravity and the Earth's tides (caused by the Moon) are accelerating the Moon and slowing the spin of the Earth. This means that the Moon is slowly getting further and further away from Earth.
Is thke moon larger or smallery from the moon?
The moon size does not change. It's apparent size is smaller the further away from it you go.
Has any one been near Venus?
No. No astronauts have gone further away than the moon. Venus is much further away from us than that.
Is the sun nearer to earth than the moon?
No, the sun is 40 times further away than the moon from the Earth.
How far away would I be if I was 313 thousand miles away?
You would be 313,000 miles away, which is further than the Moon is from Earth.
Why does the moon seem bigger than any star?
because stars are further away than the moon so that way the moon looks bigger
