The Sun, the Moon and the stars

1. Leo and Lena are curious. Why does the Moon look smaller than the Sun even though it's not far away?

   • The Moon is much smaller in size (right)
   • The Moon is farther from Earth than the Sun
   • The Moon moves faster around Earth

2. Omar and Amara are curious. Why does the Moon look smaller than the Sun even though it's closer?

   • The Sun is much bigger (right)
   • The Moon is not bright
   • The Moon has less light

3. In science class, Ines asks: If the Moon were twice as far from Earth, would it look brighter?

   • It would be the same size
   • It would appear larger
   • No, it would look dimmer (right)

Tip: Brightness depends on both size and distance. The farther an object is, the dimmer it looks even if it's big or bright.
