The moonMoon is the closet celestial body.
What is the largest moon of mars?
The larger of the two moons of Mars is Phobos, still comparatively tiny (only 22 km in diameter) compared to Earth's Moon. The second moon, Deimos, even more irregularly-shaped, is only 1/7 the size of Phobos.
Is the moon closer to the sun than mars?
Since the Moon accompanies Earth, it basically has the same distance to the Sun as Earth does. Sometimes a bit closer, sometimes a bit farther, but this difference is insignificant. The Earth - and therefore the Moon as well - is closer to the Sun than Mars.
How much bigger is mars than the moon?
Mars is larger than the Moon. Mars has a diameter of about 6,779 km, whereas the Moon has a diameter of about 3,474 km. This makes Mars roughly twice the size of the Moon in terms of diameter.
What planet or star is always right of the moon?
Jupiter is to the right of the moon. It was closest a on September 1st, then is was just to the left of the moon. Since then, the moon has passed Jupiter and the distance (seen by an observer) between them has been increasing.
Is the moon closer to earth or is mars?
The Moon is closer to Earth than Mars. The average distance between Earth and the Moon is about 238,855 miles (384,400 kilometers), while the average distance between Earth and Mars is about 140 million miles (225 million kilometers).
Does the moon circle mars?
Earth's moon ... the one you see in the sky from your backyard ... does not circle Mars.The distance from earth to our moon is less than 1/2 percent of the closest possible distance from earth to Mars.
Is Mars by the moon?
Mars is about 80 million km away from the moon, the same (strangely enough) as the distance from Earth to Mars. So, not really. Although I guess it depends on your scale.

What is the distance from moon to mars?
On average, the distance from the Moon to Mars is about 225 million kilometers (140 million miles). However, this distance varies depending on the positions of the two celestial bodies in their respective orbits.
Is the moon or mars closter to the sun?
The moon is closer to the sun. Since the moon orbits Earth, it is always about the same distance from the sun as Earth is.
Is the planet mercury the closest planet to the moon?
No. Earth is technically the closest planet to the moon. Mars is the closest planet to a moon, with Phobos being only 9.4Mm away from Mars. Earth's moon is an average distance of 370Mm from Earth.
How many miles is it from earth to the moon Phobos?
Constantly varying.Phobos orbits Mars, so the average distance to Phobos will be the same as the average distance to Mars, which is about 225 million kilometers.
How far is moon from mars?
The moon orbits the earth at a distance of about 240 thousand miles. The earth orbits the sun at a distance of about 90 million miles. Mars orbits the sun at a distance at about 140 million miles, and these orbits are not purely circular. So the distance from earth to mars varies wildly from around 50 million miles to around 230 million miles. So the odd 1/4 of a million miles that the moon is from earth is a triviality in comparison.
What is our closet nieghbor in our solar system?
The Moon. After that, it could be Venus or Mars, depending on their orbits. The distance between the Earth and Mars/ Venus changes.
How is Earh different than Mars?
Mass, gravity, magnetic field, the moon, distance from the sun.
What the deffrent from moon to Mars?
