How much is Moon's gravitational pull?
About one sixth of the earth's. That means that if something ways 30kg on the earth, 30 divided by 6= 5 kg which means it will way only 5 kg on the moon.
How are are the earth and moon different?
The moon has easily visible craters, but the ones on earth have mostly weathered away. The Earth has wind and the moon doesn't. Earth has atmosphere but the moon doesn't have one.
Does earth have 5 moons?
No. Earth has one moon: the moon.
Why does the moon look different from earth at different times of each month?
"The moon looks difren t f ROM the earth at diffrent times of the month as the shadow of the earth falls on the moon in many diffrent angles." This is just SO wrong. The moon does not look different because of the shadow of the earth, the ONLY time the shadow of the earth is seen across the moon is during a lunar eclipse. The changing face of the moon is due to it's orbit around the earth which takes approximately 29 1/2 days. There is a nice animation showing it here; http://www.ioncmaste.ca/homepage/resources/web_resources/CSA_Astro9/files/multimedia/unit3/phases_moon/phases_moon.HTML It is NOTHING to do with the earth's shadow! agreed! It is about how the earth is on a tilt of 23.5 degrees and the moon is on a tilt of 5 degrees and the earth revolves around the sun while the moon revolves around the the earth so when the earth moves so does the moon.
What is the moon's height?
The orbital distance of the Moon (which is measured from the *center* of the Earth) varies. The average is 384,400 km or 238,900 miles, and can be about 21,000 km (5%) different.
How much less is the Moon's gravity than that of the earth's?
Since the Moon's gravity is 1/6 that of Earth, the Moon's gravity is 5/6 less than that of Earth.
If the moon is 1m wide and the Earth is four times the size what size is the Earth?
The Earth is much more than 8 times "bigger" than the Moon, but there are several ways in which this could be interpreted; in terms of diameter, surface area, volume, or mass. The Earth is about 5 time larger in diameter than the Moon; the Earth has a diameter of about 13,000 km, while the Moon has a diameter of about 2400 km. In surface area, the difference is more pronounced; the Moon has about the same surface area as the continent of Africa, about 1/15th that of the Earth. By volume, the Moon is only about 1/40th of the Earth's volume, and if measured by mass, the Earth is about 80 times more massive. (The Earth has a much greater density than the Moon does.)
What are the release dates for From the Earth to the Moon - 1998 Spider 1-5?
From the Earth to the Moon - 1998 Spider 1-5 was released on: USA: 19 April 1998
How much does the moon rotate around the earth?
The angle between any two points is a straight line, or 180 degrees.I suspect what you meant to ask was what the Sun-Earth-Moon angle was at that time. If so, the answer is (pretty close to) 180 degrees. If it's exactly 180 degrees, then there will be a lunar eclipse.
What do you call a moon that is between earth and sun?
A NEW MOON. However, the planer of the Moon's orbit about the Earth is about 5 degrees different from the plane of the Earth's orbit about the Sun. Consequently, at every New Moon there is NOT a Solar Eclipse. A Solar Eclipse only occurs when the two planes cross directly at a New Moon, then you have a Solar Eclipse. You do not see other New Moon's because the Sun's light is so bright, that it overtakes the dark patch of the Moon.
What are the ratings and certificates for From the Earth to the Moon - 1998 Spider 1-5?
From the Earth to the Moon - 1998 Spider 1-5 is rated/received certificates of: Australia:M (video rating)
Which movement causes lunar phases?
The moon's orbit around the Earth causes sunlight to hit the moon at a different angle and since the moon rotates on it's axis in the same time it orbits our planet, we see different appearances of the moon's near side.
