The Moon is about 384,400 km (239,000 miles) away from the Earth,

The Sun is 149.6 million km (93,000,000 miles) away from the Earth.

What would happen of the force of gravity acting on the moon became much stronger than the force of inertia?

If the force of gravity acting on the moon became much stronger than the force of inertia, the moon would likely be pulled closer to the Earth. This would result in changes to the moon's orbit and potentially lead to it eventually crashing into the Earth. The increased gravitational force would also affect tides on Earth and could have significant impacts on the Earth-moon system.


Can you see stars from the moon?

Yes, stars can be seen from the moon because there is no atmosphere to block the view.


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.


Is Mercury closer to the sun than Earth?

Yes, Mercury is closer to the sun than Earth.


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.

Why do stars at night look smaller than the moon?

Stars appear smaller than the moon because they are much farther away from Earth compared to the moon. The moon is relatively close to us, which is why it appears larger in the sky. Additionally, the brightness of the moon makes it more visible and noticeable compared to the dim light of stars.
