Other planets and terrestrial bodies don’t have their own light; they get light from the sun. The mass of the sun is 1.989 x 10³⁰ kg. The mass of the earth is 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg and that of the moon is 7.35 x 10²² kg. The diameter of the sun is 1.4 x 10⁹ m, the diameter of the earth is 1.2756 x 10⁷ m and the diameter of the moon is 3474.2 km. The distance between the earth and the moon is 3.84 x 10⁸ m and the distance between the sun and the earth is 1.496 x 10¹¹ m. During the solar eclipse moon comes in between the earth and the sun where as during lunar eclipse earth comes in between the sun and the moon.
