The moon DOES bump into the sun. This event is called a total solar eclipse. It is a significator of the imminent termination of all life in the galaxy. Better get ready. It's going to happen August 1, 2008.

You must remember that there are two other planets between the earth and the sun. The moon and the sun are millions of miles away from each other and even if the moon ever left it's orbit around the earth and crashed into the moon it would be immediately incinerated because the Sun is so huge and hot. If the sun was a basketball, the moon would be smaller than a speck of dust. I hope this is a satisfactory answer to your question.

Because the Sun is always 400 times farther away from Earth than the Moon is, so the Moon and Sun are never anywhere near each other. When you see them near each other in the sky, they are really not near each other, they are just seen in the same direction, but the Sun is far in the background compared to the nearby Moon. You just can't judge the distance by eye, that's all.

The earth is spinning around the sun and the Moon is spinning around earth.
The Sun is WAY further away from us than the moon is, so they're never going through eachother's path.
Light takes Eight minutes to get from The Sun to Earth, but only a couple seconds to get to The Moon from Earth. Light travels REALLY REALLY fast, so if it takes eight minutes, it's really far away.
It takes the light from stars millions and millions of years to get to us.

Just like the earth,the moon orbits the sun always millions of miles away.

Mostly because they are not even close together? The moon is 384 000 km form the Earth, and revolves around Earth. The Sun is 150 000 000 km (390 times further) and the *Earth* (with the Moon in tow) is revolving around the Sun.

Because the moon is held into earth's orbit by gravity
