Earth Rotation and Revolution
... • Because of Earth’s revolution about the sun, near stars seem to shift their position against the farther stars (closer star – greater the shift) • If you observe the same star while earth is at 2 different points during its orbit around the sun, the star’s position relative to the more distant bac ...

... Why do the Sun and the Moon appear to be the same size in the sky? The diameter of the Sun is 400 times greater than that of the Moon, but the Sun is 400 times farther from Earth than the Moon. That is why you can see a total eclipse of the Sun, during which the Moon blocks the light from the Sun. W ...
