What else can I help you with?
One of Jupiter's moons is as big as the planet mercury if the moon is so big why is it a moon and not a planet?
Jupiter's moon Ganymede is as big as Mercury but is classified as a moon because it orbits Jupiter rather than orbiting the sun directly. Planets are celestial bodies that orbit the sun directly, while moons orbit planets. Ganymede's orbit around Jupiter classifies it as a moon rather than a planet.
When the Sun passes between the Moon and the Earth you have?
a solar eclipse. This occurs when the Moon blocks the Sun's light from reaching the Earth. It can result in either a total or partial solar eclipse, depending on the alignment of the three celestial bodies.
When was the moon closest to the sun it is at?
* 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.
Which is the smallest planet out of the Earth the Sun and the Moon?
The moon is the smallest out of the Sun,Earth and moon. It should be note, though, that neither the sun nor the moon are planets; the sun is a star and the moon is a natural satellite.
Where the sun be in the moon phase transporter?
In the context of the Moon phase transporter, the position of the Sun relative to the Moon determines the phase of the Moon we observe from Earth. During a New Moon, the Sun and Moon are aligned, with the Sun illuminating the far side of the Moon. In contrast, during a Full Moon, the Earth is positioned between the Sun and the Moon, allowing the Sun to illuminate the side of the Moon facing us. The Moon phases progress as the Moon orbits Earth, with its position changing in relation to the Sun.
Is the moon as big as the sun?
No. The sun is 400 times the size of the moon.
What is bigger the earth sun or the moon?
the sun is the biggest, but the sun is just a big,big,big star as i know because im a scientist:)
How big is the moon compared to the sun?
The moon is much smaller than the sun. The sun is about 400 times larger in diameter than the moon.
Does the sun and the moon seem to be the same exact size during an solar ellipse?
the sun is a very big thing and is far away the moon is small compared to the sun and is near to us when the big sun goes far away it seems to be as big as the moon near to us
Why the sun and moon seems to be the same size in the sky?

How big is the sun from the moon?

How big is the Sun in comparison to the moon and earth?
The diameter of the sun is about 109 times the diameter of the earth,and about 400 times the diameter of the moon.
How big is the moon and sun together?
If you could compare the sun to the size of a penny, an electronic microscope would be needed to see the moon.
Is the sun is bigger than a moon?
The sun's diameter is about 400 times as big as our moon's diameter, 108 times as big as the Earth's, and about 10 times the diameter of the biggest planet (Jupiter).
Are moon and sun the same?
No. The sun is the bright yellow thing in the sky. The moon is the big white thing in the sky.
How many times big the Sun from Moon?
The Sun is about 400 times as big (diameter) as the Moon. It just happens that the Sun is about 400 times as far away as the Moon so that when the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun there can be a total eclipse of the Sun. The orbit of the Moon is eleiptical , sometimes close and sometimes farther away from the earth and when the alignment happens at a time when the Moon is farther away, the eclipse is annular (like a ring).
Which is larger the moon or the sun?
Saturn - It is larger than both the earth and the moon
