Moon is to Basketball. Just as the Sun is a prominent symbol associated with basketball (e.g., "Miami Heat"), the Moon could be similarly connected to another sport or concept.
The moon does not have its own light; it reflects light from the Sun. When sunlight hits the moon's surface, it bounces off the surface and is reflected towards Earth, making the moon appear bright in the night sky.

The moon has a gravitational effect on Earth that causes tides, which is not caused by the sun. Additionally, the moon has a surface with craters and mountains, while the sun is a ball of hot gases without a solid surface.
* When Earth is at periapsis (closest to the Sun, in January), Earth, and therefore the Moon, are closer to the Sun than when Earth is at apapsis. * On average, at new moon the Moon is closer to the Sun than at full moon, since at full moon the Moon is opposite to the Sun in the sky.
The Moon orbits the Sun. The gravitation of the Earth will provide slight disturbances to the Moon's orbit around the Sun, but mainly, the Moon moves around the Sun.The Moon orbits the Sun.
