The moon is much close to the Earth and therefore is shorter to fly to.
No, the moon is much smaller than the sun. The sun is about 400 times larger in diameter than the moon.
No, the sun is much larger than the moon. The sun has a diameter about 400 times greater than the moon, but it also happens to be about 400 times farther away from Earth than the moon. This is why they appear to be roughly the same size in the sky.
The sun is much larger than the moon. The sun has a diameter about 400 times larger than the moon, but it also appears larger to us on Earth because it is much closer to us than the moon.
The moon is not brighter than the sun. The sun is much larger and hotter than the moon, making it significantly brighter. The moon only reflects sunlight, so it appears bright in the night sky.
The moon is much closer to us than the sun is.

No, the moon is much smaller than the sun. The sun is about 400 times larger in diameter than the moon.
The Moon is much closer to Earth than the Sun is, therefore making the moon appear to be as large or larger than the sun when viewed from Earth.
No, the sun is much larger than the moon. The sun has a diameter about 400 times greater than the moon, but it also happens to be about 400 times farther away from Earth than the moon. This is why they appear to be roughly the same size in the sky.
* 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.

The Moon is closer to Earth than the sun.
Simple: the moon is much closer to us than the sun.
The Earth is larger than the Moon, but the Sun is much larger than both the Earth and the Moon. The Sun is a star that is about 109 times the diameter of Earth.
The moon is closer to the earth than is the sun.
