Eathe,sun,and moon compairson

 
There are some unbelievable peculiar coincidences that occure between the sun,earth and the moon.The average distance between the earth and moon is 38000km,while the distance between the  earth and the sun is about150000000km.Earth is 395 times further from the sun then the moondiameter of sun is about 138000km nd the moon is 3400km, sun is 395 times farther from earth to moon and 395 bigger then the moon,that’s why the eclipse moon and the sun look the same size from planet earth due to their size and distances thats why the eclipse happens making the moon the perfect size to blockout the sun from earth. When the Moon is roughly in the same direction as the Sun, its illuminated half is facing away from the Earth, and therefore the part that faces us is all dark: we have the new moon. When in this phase, the Moon and the Sun rise and set at about the same time.
