Why does the moon have a weaker magnetic field than the Earth?
because moon has small density and shorter radius than earth. specially density is more important for calculation of Gravity. there are some stars that have small radius but greater Gravity. why? because they have Larger density
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 will weight and mass be affected while on the moon and on earth?
The mass will be the same on the moon, as well as on earth. But more weight will be gained on earth than moon because there is more gravitational force on earth than on moon. Mass stays the same because the amount of matter in the object will not change simply by going to the moon.
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.)
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.
Does the earth have more mass or density than the moon?
No; the Earth has over eighty times the mass of the Moon. Our Moon is overall about three fifths the density of the Earth; which is itself a scientific curiosity since this would mean the lunar core has an unusually low density.
Is the density of the Moon less than the density of the earth?
Yes. It has no iron core.
Is the moon's average density greater than the density of earth's outer layers?
No
Are the earth and its moon the same shape?
no the earth is bigger than the moon
Is the moon the same size bigger or smaller than earth?
The Moon is smaller than the Earth
Why does the moon have a weaker magnetic field than the Earth?
because moon has small density and shorter radius than earth. specially density is more important for calculation of Gravity. there are some stars that have small radius but greater Gravity. why? because they have Larger density
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 is the the weight of a body on earth not the same on the moon?
because the moon has less gravity than the earth
Do Earth and the moon have the same mass?
No. Earth is about 80 times more massive than the moon.
Is earth larger than mercury?
Mercury is almost the same size as the Moon. The Moon is smaller than Earth. Mercury is then smaller than Earth.
Does the earth and moon have the same amount of gravitational pull?
No, the earth is bigger than the moon so they don't have the same gravitational pull
