What else can I help you with?
Does it matter how big moons are?
Moons do not have to be any size but if the moon is bigger than the planet that it orbits, then the moon becomes the planet because it has more gravitational force.
Is a moon larger than a planet?
No. The moon orbits the planet which means the planet is larger than the moon.
Is mercury a moon of any planet?
No. Mercury orbits the sun, so it is a planet rather than a moon.
What is the difference between a moon and a planet?
a planet is much larger than a moon. sometimes a planet can have many moons but a moon can only have 1 planet. the moon orbits the planet but the planet orbits a star (such as the sun) ect.
How can you tell something is a planet and not a moon?
A planet is in direct orbit around a central star, while a moon is in orbit around a large body (a planet) rather than in a direct orbit around a star. The moon orbits the planet, while the planet orbits the sun.
What is the moon a planet or something?
The moon is a moon, also known as a natural satellite. It is not considered a planet as it orbits a planet (Earth) rather than the sun.
Is IO a planet?
No. Io is a moon as it orbits the planet Jupiter rather than the sun.
Which is the smallest comets or asteroids or planets or moons?
Any of them because there is no set size for any of them. All of them are classified by different things and none of them are size. A moon orbits a planet, a planet orbits a star in a slightly elliptical orbit, a comet orbits a star in a highly elliptical orbit, and an asteroid is a planet or moon (any celestial object really) that is out of orbit and is flying through the universe a high speeds. For instance, a moon can be bigger than a planet.
What planet has a moon bigger than it?
None
How is a moon different from a planet or a dwarf planet?
What makes a moon a moon is the fact that it is smaller than the object it is orbiting, and is orbiting the object (the planet) constantly.The definition of a moon is "a natural satellite revolving around a planet". Since a satellite is an object that orbits a bigger object, usually a planet, and is not a planet due to its small size, it is considered a moon and not another planet.
Does the moon count as a planet?
No, the moon is not considered a planet. It is a natural satellite that orbits a planet, in this case Earth. A planet is defined as a celestial body that orbits a star and is massive enough to have its own gravity shape it into a round or nearly round shape.
Is planet x bigger than the moon?
Planet x does not exist.
