Easily. The furthest distance from the Earth to the Moon is about 406,000 km. So the diameter of the orbit is around 812,000 km.

The diameter of the Sun is 1,392,000 km.

So the orbit of the Moon would fit inside the Sun with room to space.

Can the moon orbit around the sun?

No, the moon orbits around the Earth, not the sun. This is due to the gravitational pull between the Earth and the moon. The moon's orbit around the Earth is what causes its phases and affects tides on Earth.


Why does the moon orbit the sun?

Is the diameter of the sun greater than the diameter of the moon orbiting earth?

Yes. The sun is 1.3 million kilometers across. The moon is never more than a third of that distance from earth and the diameter of its orbit is just over half the sun's diameter. ========================================== The question is not exactly clear. You might be referring to "the moon which orbits Earth", or you could be referring to "the moon's orbit around the Earth". -- The moon's diameter is 3,475 km. The sun's is about 400 times as large. -- The diameter of the moon's orbit is 768,800 km. The sun's diameter is about 80% larger. If the Earth were at the center of the sun, the moon's orbit would be completely inside the sun, about 55% of the way to the surface.


Why doesn't the moon orbit around the sun like the earth does?

The moon does orbit the sun. The moon orbits round the earth, while both earth and the moon orbits round the sun.


How many days does the sun take to orbt the moon?

How the moon orbit the sun?

None. This is a trick question. Moons orbit PLANETS. Planets orbit the Sun.


Does the moon orbits or circles the sun?

What causes the moon to orbit the sun?

Nothing does.Simply because the moon does not orbit the sun.The moon orbits Earth, not the sun. And Earth orbits the sun.Gravity is what causes planets and moons to orbit.


How does the moon take to orbit the sun?

The moon does not orbit the sun independently; it orbits the earth. So the moon orbits the sun in about 365 and a quarter days, just like earth.
