The moon is close to Earth. This is
why it looks big to us. A rocket ship
from Earth travels about 238 thousand
miles to reach the moon. The trip takes
about six days. The sun is very far from
Earth. It is about 93 million miles away.
It is not yet possible for people to travel
that far into space.
