Is the Moon smaller than Earth the same size as Earth or larger than Earth?
The Moon is considerably smaller than the Earth. Its volume is about 2% of the Earth's. Its mass is only about 1.2% of the Earth's. Its surface gravity is about 1/6 that of the Earth.
Is the mass of the moon greater than the mass of the earth?
No. The mass of the moon is a fraction of the earth's mass.
Does the earth and the moon have the same amount of mass?
No, they do not have the same mass. The moon has much less mass than Earth.
How many times is Earth larger than the Moon?
Earth's diameter is about 3.7 times bigger than the Moon's Earth's volume is about 50 times greater than the Moon's Earth's surface area is about 14.29 times greater than the Moon's Earth's mass is about 81.3 times greater than the Moon's
Why is a persons weight different on earth than on the moon?
The gravity is less on the Moon, because the Moon is smaller than earth; it has less mass, and therefore "sucks" less than the earth. Weight is gravity times mass, you have the same mass on Earth and on the Moon (and in space), but weigh less on the moon.
Why does the earth have a greater mass than the moon?
Because it is about the same density, and is much larger than the moon.
Is titan larger or smaller than earth?
Titan is the largest moon of Saturn. Smaller than the earth it is, however, larger than the planet Mercury though has less mass
Is the mass of the moon greater than the mass of the earth?
No. The mass of the moon is a fraction of the earth's mass.
Is the Moon smaller than Earth the same size as Earth or larger than Earth?
The Moon is considerably smaller than the Earth. Its volume is about 2% of the Earth's. Its mass is only about 1.2% of the Earth's. Its surface gravity is about 1/6 that of the Earth.
How is the moon larger than the earth?
-- The earth's diameter (distance through the center) is about 3.7 times the moon's diameter. -- The earth's surface area is about 13.5 times the moon's surface area. -- The earth's volume is about 49.5 times the moon's volume. -- The earth's mass is about 82 times the moon's mass.
How does newtons law of universal gravitational apply to earth and the moon?
If it were not for the Earth's pull of gravity the moon would fly away from the Earth. The moon's pull of gravity on the Earth causes the tides.
Is the moon more massive than the earth?
No. The earth's mass is equal to about 82 times the moon's mass. (Moon's mass is equal to about 1.2% of the earth's mass.)
Why a person would weight more on earth than the moon?
The Earth has a higher mass, which means it exerts a larger gravitational force.
Which is bigges the moon or the earth?
The Earth is much larger than the moon
Does the earth and the moon have the same amount of mass?
No, they do not have the same mass. The moon has much less mass than Earth.
Why does Earth exert a sgronger gravitational force than the moon?
The bigger an object's mass is, the bigger its gravitational pull is. Earth's gravitational pull is larger because it has a bigger mass.
How many times is Earth larger than the Moon?
Earth's diameter is about 3.7 times bigger than the Moon's Earth's volume is about 50 times greater than the Moon's Earth's surface area is about 14.29 times greater than the Moon's Earth's mass is about 81.3 times greater than the Moon's
