What would the sun look like .....?

Question

if you were standin on the moon? would it just look the same as it does from earth or would it look bigger? just one of them questions that puzzles my tiny brain thanks all jill

Answer 1

It would depend where the Moon is.  As it goes around the Earth, on the same plane as the Earth goes around the Sun, it moves closer and further from the Sun.  So sometimes the Sun would look bigger and sometimes smaller than it would look from the Earth (but not noticeably, because of the great distances involved) .  And sometimes, when the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun (about once a month) you couldn't see the Sun from the Moon.

Answer 2

I'm guessing that it would look very much the same, the distance between the moon and the Earth is so insignificant when compared with the distance between the Earth and sun.

Answer 3

In my opinion

I think it would look bigger as with the moon you stand on the surface (as far as I am aware).

Answer 4

It wouldn't look very different.  The distance between the moon and the earth is very much less than the distance between the earth and the Sun. The earth, however,would look a lot bigger from the moon than the moon looks from the earth.

At new Moon time, the Sun would look slightly bigger, and at full moon time slightly smaller, but I doubt you would even notice the difference.  Finally, what looks like an eclipse of the moon when seen from Earth would look like an eclipse of the Sun by the earth when seen from the moon.

Answer 5

I imagine it will look the same,but without atmospheric interference.ie dust,cloud,ozone,etc.
