August the 27th of this year (2009) is when Mars is to be the closest it has ever been to the earth. It is supposedly to be about the same size in the sky as the moon.
Mars has a moon that is larger than the other one.
Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede, is as big as the planet Mercury.
on august 26th 2010, mars is coming very close to earth--so you should be able to see it from your front lawn or out your window. Supposedly Mars will look as large as the moon from the sky.
Venus is the brightest thing in the sky, after the Sun and Moon.
mars and the moon is not a planet
There is no specific planet next to the moon on January 29, 2010. The proximity of planets to the moon changes frequently due to their orbits and positioning in the night sky.
Mars is a planet the Moon is not. Mars orbits the Sun-the Moon does not.
No planet in our solar system is consistently closest to the Moon every August. The proximity of planets to the Moon varies based on their respective orbits. However, the planets that are most commonly near the Moon in the sky are Venus and Mars.
Mars is a planet. A moon is a large celestial object that orbits a planet. So no, there are no moons on mars.

mars
False. This is the annual "Mars will be as bright as the Moon!" hoax that goes around every August.
No. Earth is technically the closest planet to the moon. Mars is the closest planet to a moon, with Phobos being only 9.4Mm away from Mars. Earth's moon is an average distance of 370Mm from Earth.
no the driest planet is the moon
No. This is a repeat of a hoax from 2006. At it's nearest Mars will only look about 500 times smaller than the Moon.
Earth :) No other planet yet. Men waked on the Moon but that is not a planet. The most likely next one will be Mars. (Can't wait for the Curiosity rover to get there in August.)
