The Similarities and Differences Between the Sun and Moon

  The Similarities and Differences Between the Sun and Moon The sun and the moon are the two most prominent celestial objects in Earth’s sky. They affect the daily lives of people in significant ways but are very different in their characteristics and effects on the solar system and the Earth. Both of these bodies have been the subjects of extensive scientific research, as well as myths and tales across the ages. Measurements of Time Both the sun and the moon serve as bases for systems of time measurement. The moon is the Earth’s only natural satellite and is the basis of the month on modern calendars. The moon takes 27.3 days to fully rotate around the earth. The sun, around which the Earth orbits, is the basis of the calendar year and day. The sun itself rotates within a period of about 25 days. How They Were Formed The moon and sun are both bright round objects in the sky. Indeed, viewed from the Earth's surface, both appear as similarly sized disks. That said, however, they are...

What Are the Two Planets That Don't Get Solar or Lunar Eclipses?

  What Are the Two Planets That Don't Get Solar or Lunar Eclipses? As Earth and the moon revolve around the sun, they periodically align with the sun in such a way that Earth moves into the moon's shadow and vice versa. Known as eclipses, these are spectacular events for observers on Earth. But they cannot occur on Mercury or Venus: Neither planet has a moon. Eclipses on the other planets in our solar system are possible but probably different than those on Earth. Mercury The first planet in the solar system, Mercury, is closer to the sun than Earth by more than half. From Mercury's surface, the sun appears three times as large as it does from Earth. If Mercury had a moon, it would have to be large enough to cover that disk for observers on the planet's surface to experience a solar eclipse. Such a moon, unless it were very close to the planet, would probably have to be larger than Mercury itself. Thirteen times every century, Earth falls into Mercury's shadow as it...
