Why does the sun appear larger than other stars in the sky?

The sun appears larger than other stars in the sky because it is much closer to Earth than those stars. This proximity makes the sun's size and brightness more prominent in our view compared to the distant stars.


Why is the gravitational pull of the moon stronger than the suns?

No. Gravity is a function of mass, and since the sun is thousands of times bigger, the sun's gravitational force is abomany thousands of times greater. However, the moon is much closer to earth (a quarter of a million miles vs. 93,000,000 miles for the sun), so the moon's gravitational effect on the earth is much larger than the sun's gravitational effect on the earth. This is why ocean tides resulting from the moon's gravitational pull are much higher than tides resulting from the sun's gravitational pull. One a month, when the sun and moon are aligned on the same side of the earth, will create the highest tides since the gravitational pull of both sun and moon are pulling in the same direction.


What is the difference in mass between the Earth and the Sun?
