Well, the Sun is made of burning gas, which has less density than a solid. So although the sun is larger, it wouldn't stay still on our hypothetical scales and end up floating away, whereas the moon is made from rock, nice, heavy and solid which would be going down on the scales rather than up. So although the Sun has many more particles than the moon, it is lighter.
What else can I help you with?
Heaviest element your sun produces?
hydrogen
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.
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.
Where the sun be in the moon phase transporter?
In the context of the Moon phase transporter, the position of the Sun relative to the Moon determines the phase of the Moon we observe from Earth. During a New Moon, the Sun and Moon are aligned, with the Sun illuminating the far side of the Moon. In contrast, during a Full Moon, the Earth is positioned between the Sun and the Moon, allowing the Sun to illuminate the side of the Moon facing us. The Moon phases progress as the Moon orbits Earth, with its position changing in relation to the Sun.
In what aligment of sun moon and eath does lunar eclipse occur?
At full Moon, that is, when the Moon is opposite to the Sun, from our point of view.At full Moon, that is, when the Moon is opposite to the Sun, from our point of view.At full Moon, that is, when the Moon is opposite to the Sun, from our point of view.At full Moon, that is, when the Moon is opposite to the Sun, from our point of view.
How do the planets and moon move around the sun?
The moon orbits because of the gravitational pull from a plant. Planets move around the sun because. The lighter object orbits the heavier one, and the Sun is, by far, the heaviest object in the solar system.
When is the moon heaviest?
When it's full
Why does the moon orbit the earth and the earth orbits the sun?
The moon orbits the Earth because it is close enough to the Earth to be captured by the Earth's gravitational field. Both the Earth and the moon orbit the sun, together. The sun is by far the largest and heaviest object in the solar system, and it has the strongest gravitational field, therefore everything in the solar system orbits the sun.
Heaviest element your sun produces?
hydrogen
Heaviest body in your solar system?
The Sun
Would you feel heaviest on earth or on moon?
You would feel heaviest on Earth due to its stronger gravitational pull compared to the Moon. The gravitational force on the Moon is about one-sixth that of Earth, which would make you weigh less on the Moon than on Earth.
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).
sun earth and moon?
sun earth and moon
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.
