No. The sun is far larger and far more massive than Earth. Earth is being pulled toward the sun by the sun's gravity but is moving fast enough that rather than falling into the sun, it orbits around it. Earth's orbit is stable. In about 5 billion years the sun will run out of hydrogen in its core and expand into a red giant and will probably consume Earth.

Is there a song that starts with when the sun and the moon do you know any?
Trevor Hall. When the Sun and the Moon collide.
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.
What moon phase is highest in the sky at sunrise?
The moon phase that is highest in the sky at sunrise is the full moon. During this phase, the moon is directly opposite the sun in the sky, which means it rises around sunset and is highest at midnight. By sunrise, the full moon will have already begun to set, but it can still be seen high in the sky just before it descends.
How long does it take the sun to go all the way around the sky?
The sun takes approximately 24 hours to go all the way around the sky, completing one full rotation. This period is known as a solar day and is the basis for our concept of time measurement.
When is the phase moon is highest at solar noon?
The phase of the moon that is highest in the sky at solar noon is typically the full moon. This occurs because, during a full moon, the moon is positioned opposite the sun, rising at sunset and setting at sunrise. As a result, it reaches its highest point in the sky around solar noon. Conversely, during the new moon phase, the moon is generally not visible at solar noon, as it is close to the sun in the sky.
When does a full moon rise and set?
A full moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise, appearing on the opposite side of the sky as the sun. This is because a full moon is directly opposite the sun in the sky.
Is the full moon visible during the daytime?
No. When the moon is full, it appears half-the-sky away from the sun, so it can't be in the sky at the same time that the sun is.
During a full moon where is the sun?

Where in the sky will the full moon appear at sunset?
The full moon will appear in the eastern sky at sunset, as the sun is setting in the west. The moon rises in the east as the sun sets in the west, and it reaches its highest point in the sky around midnight.
Why is the night sky brighter when the full Moon is in the sky?
It's the same as the sky is brighter when the Sun is up, only not as much.
Is there a song that starts with when the sun and the moon do you know any?
Trevor Hall. When the Sun and the Moon collide.
Why can't you never see a full moon overhead at sunset?
That would place the moon 1/4 of a full sky away from the sun, but the Full Moon is fullonly because it's 1/2 of a full sky away from the sun. So when the moon is full, it must risefrom one horizon at the same time that the sun is setting at the opposite horizon.
What is a cloudy day?
A cloudy day is when the sky is full of clouds which block out the sun.
What is the realation between earth and sun during a full moon?
During a full moon, the Earth is positioned between the Sun and the Moon. The Sun is illuminating the side of the Moon that faces Earth, making it appear fully lit from our perspective. This alignment causes the Moon to appear bright and full in the night sky.
Why does the full moon always rise at sunset?
Think of it this way. In order for the Moon to appear fully illuminated by the Sun you have to be in between them. In other words when the Moon is full, the Sun is opposite it in the sky, and we are in the middle, so when the full Moon is rising, the Sun is setting. Don't confuse this with eclipses. The Moon's orbit goes slightly above and below the Earth so with most full Moons, we are only mostly between the Sun and Moon, but its close enough.
How long does it take the sun to move across the sky?
The sun appears to move across the sky due to the Earth's rotation, completing a full circle in about 24 hours.
Why cant you see the moon when the sun is shining?
You can. As the moon approaches full, it is visible in the eastern sky just before sunset. After it is full and it starts to wane, it can be seen in the western sky in the morning.
