What is the average distance from the center of earth to the center of the moon?
km384,000Average Earth to Moon Distance: 384,403 km Equatorial Radius of the Earth: 6,357 kmEquatorial Radius of the Moon: 1,737 kmTotal: 392,497 km
Which is larger the Sun's radius or the distance between the Moon and Earth?
The sun's radius
Name two differences between the moon and earth?
the moon's radius is about one quarter the radius of earth The moon has no atmosphere and the earth does
What is the Moon's mass and radius compaed with earth?
Mass: Earth's is 81.7 times the moon's mass.Radius: Earth's is 3.67 times the moon's radius.
How big is the moon Rhea?
Rhea a satellite of Saturn has a radius of about 763.8km In comparison, our own Moon has a radius of 1,738.14 km.
What is the position of high tide and low tide?
h = (3 * Mass of Moon * Radius of Earth^4)/(2 * Mass of Earth * Distance from Equator to Moon^3)
On a scale in which the distance from the Sun to the earth is about 400 meters the distance from the earth to the Moon is?
Given the ratio of the distance between the earth to the sun and the earth to the moon, calculations find an incredibly small number, almost 1/400. Multiplying by 400 meters gives a distance of just over 1.028 meters in this comparison.
Why do you multiply 2 by the radius of the moon and pi to get the distance the moon travels in one revolution of the earth?
From geometry it is known that the circumference of a circle is 2*pi*r - where r is the radius. Assuming the orbit of the moon is a circle, then the distance traveled in one orbit is the circumference of the circle.
How many strawberry seeds would it take to get to the moon?
The distance from the center of the Earth to the center of the moon is about 384,467 km. If you subtract from this distance the average radius of the Earth (6,378 km) and the average radius of the moon (1,738 km), you find 376,351 km.Convert the diameter of a strawberry seed, 2 millimeters, to kilometers: .000002 km. Now, divide the distance from the surface of the Earth to the surface of the moon by the diameter of a strawberry seed. The answer is: 188,175,500,000 strawberry seeds!
How many km is it from the earth to the moon?
Because the Moon's orbit is elliptical, its distance from Earth ranges from 356400 km to 406700 km, with an average orbital radius of 384401 km.
Who is credited with first measuring the distance from the earth to the moon and how?
Aristarchus (310-230 BC) derived the Moon's distance from the duration of a lunar eclipse around 270 BC (Hipparchus used a different method around 147 BC). Aristarchus assumed that the Moon moved in a large circle around Earth, although he was one of the first proponents of heliocentrism (Earth orbits the Sun). Aristarchus Method An eclipse of the Moon occurs when the Moon passes through the shadow of the Earth, on the opposite side from the Sun (therefore, it must be a full Moon). If r is the radius of the Earth, the shadow's width is close to 2r. If a shadow persisted for about 3 hours, this would indicate the radius of its orbit. The distance between the Earth and the Moon would be calculated as 60 times the Earth's radius, which corresponds closely with modern measurements of the distance.
Is Saturn's moon Rhea bigger than Earth's moon?
No. Rhea has a mean radius of 764 km. Earth's moon has a radius of 1737 km.
