Well, honey, the object closest to the Earth in all three systems (metric, imperial, and astronomical) is the Earth itself. I mean, who else is gonna be closer to the Earth than the Earth? It's like asking who's the closest to Betty White in sass – it's Betty White, darling.
the sun is the closest
The moon is Earth's natural satellite that orbits the planet. It has a significant influence on the Earth's tides due to its gravitational pull. The moon also plays a role in stabilizing Earth's rotation and providing light in the night sky.
The Moon is the nearest natural object to Earth in space.
The moon is closer to Earth than any other object in space, so we get a great deal of the light it reflects. The next closest major object on its closest approach is Venus, which, even at its closest, is about 100 times farther away than the moon.
