Best Answer

The earth moves faster than the moon.

Answer 2

Since they both take the same time to get round the Sun (1 year) they must both move at the same average speed. However, the Moon is also moving round the Earth. Unless its plane of rotation is at exactly 90 degrees to the path of the Earth around the Sun (which it isn't), there will be times when it's going around the Sun slightly faster than Earth and times when it's going slightly slower.

If the earth spins faster would the moon go faster around the earth?

No. The speed of the moon's orbit does not depend on Earth's spin; it depends on Earth's mass. However, a faster spin on Earth's part would make the moon appear to move across the sky faster, as it would for the sun and stars.


If you look at earth every twenty-four hours from the moon for two weeks how far would the earth move?

As viewed from the Moon, the Earth doesn't move much; it "wobbles" a little in the sky. The Moon is tidally locked to the Earth, with the same side of the Moon pointing at the Earth. The "wobble" is due to the Moon's elliptical orbit around the Earth; the Moon is moving faster in its orbit at perigee than at apogee, and the appearance is that the Earth moves a little back and forth in the lunar skies.


Which move faster your family car or the moon?

the moon moves faster than a car


Does an apple fall faster on the moon or earth?

On the earth because the earth has stronger gravity than the moon


Would the earth spin faster or slower if their was no moon?

Probably faster: The Moon has been slowing down Earth's rotation for quite a while.


If you parachuted on the moon and earth which one will you fall faster on?

you will fall faster on the earth because earth has a higher gravity


How objects fall on Earth and on the moon?

Objects fall faster to the earth, then compared to the moon, it is due to the different power of gravity on the the earth and moon.


Can you run faster on the moon?

on the moon, the gravity is about sixth of the earth so you can jump alot higher so you can most likely run faster on the moon that you can on earth. The real problem is the friction.

Facts about why that the earth takes 28 days to move round the moon?

If you're on the sun, the earth, or any other planet in the solar system, and you're watching the moon, the moon appears to move around the earth every 27.3 days. If you're on the moon and watching the earth, the earth doesn't appear to move at all. There's no vantage point from which the earth appears to move around the moon.
