Does a star have any moons rings or craters?

Answer 1

Yes. There is now an Indian Satellite called the Chandrayaan-1 now orbiting the Moon Friday, November 14, 2008 = India reached Moon =

Bangalore: India's maiden moon probe crashed on to the lunar surface at 8.31 p.m. Friday, sending a wealth of data to its mother spacecraft Chandrayaan-1 during the 25 minutes of its useful life. India became the fourth country to send a probe to the moon.

The moon impact probe (MIP), which has the Indian tricolour painted on its four sides, will remain for all time to come on the Shackleton Crater region of the lunar south pole. It will never corrode due to the lack of atmosphere on the moon.

Answer 2

No.

The moon orbits the Earth.

Since the Earth orbits the Sun, the moon follows a very similar path around the Sun as the Earth. However, if the moon broke free of the Earth's gravity, it would be briefly considered a "planet" until it again approached the Earth and the Earth's gravity flung the moon off to a higher orbit or into the Sun.

Answer 3

Yes. From Wikipedia: "The Moon is rarely visually blue. The term blue moon is the name for the third full moon in a season that has four full moons, instead of the usual three. The second full moon in one calendar month is also sometimes called a blue moon." By this definition, it is something that does exist.

Answer 4

stars are made out of heated gas and plasma, and has no solid land, so can not have craters. a star can have a moon, they are called planets we live on one :) and as for rings i am not sure, but i assume so. the asteroid belt is kind of like a ring.

Answer 5

Answer: Earth is a satellite because it moves around the sun. Moon is the satellite of the Earth. It is the third planet from the sun. The other planets revolve round the sun are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. VIVA LA PLUTO!!!

Answer 6

-- No. If the moon were in a geosynchronous orbit, then it wouldn't appear to

move east or west in the sky. The moon does appear to move westward in the

sky. Therefore the moon must not be in a geosynchronous orbit.

-- No. The radius of the geosynchronous orbit is somewhere around 22,000 miles.

The moon's average distance from earth is around 238,000 miles. Therefore the

moon can't be in a geosynchronous orbit.

Answer 7

The earth and the moon travel in orbit around a common point " the barycenter" As such it would be reasonable to assume that the barycenter that the earth and the moon orbit, inturn orbits the sun

Answer 8

The concept is similar, but the word "satellite" is usually reserved for objects that move around planets.

Answer 9

The moon does not rotate on its axis as we see it from Earth. It is locked by gravitational forces. We always see the same side with a few little side to side variations called librations. See this page http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libration

However if you were standing on the moon looking at the Earth it would appear that the sun and stars were rotating around you while the Earth stays fixed in one spot in the lunar sky rotating on its axis. This is caused by the once a month rotation of the moon on its own axis.

Answer 10

no If you're asking whether stars are visible from the moon, then the answer is Yes. Star-wise, the sky looks exactly the same from the moon as it does from Earth. That is, the same stars and constellations in all the same familiar patterns are all up there. They'll be brighter if you're looking at them from the moon, because there's no air to absorb and distort the starlight. And the sky won't move over the course of a few hours as it does on earth. But if you're familiar with the night sky as seen from your back yard, then when you have the chance to star-gaze from the moon, you'll see everything you recognize.
