They are round in shape, also they have crater's. However the moon has no water or life, but Earth does. Earth is a planet and the moon is not.Also how the moon is different is it is 1/6th of Earths gravitational pull.

How are the new moon and the full moon alike?

Both the new moon and the full moon are phases of the moon's cycle. They both occur when the moon is in alignment with the Earth and the sun. During a new moon, the moon is not visible from Earth while during a full moon, the entire face of the moon is illuminated.


The side of the moon that faces the sun is always illuminated but that side does not always face Earth The different phases of the moon are caused by the moons 28-day?

The Moon has a "day" which is the same as a month; about 29 days. The "days" and "nights" on the moon are 14.5 days each.We always see the same side of the Moon ('the Man in the Moon') because the Moon rotates with the Earth. Most people haven't seen images of the far side of the Moon. As for the phases of the Moon: the Moon is in orbit around the Earth, while the Earth is in orbit around the Sun. Essentially then, both bodies move around the Sun. The different phases are due to the Earth blocking out the Sun from shining on the Moon to various degrees. So when we see a full Moon, the Earth is not in between the Moon and the Sun at all ie the Moon is on the Sun side of the Earth at that point in its orbit.Apex answer:lunar cycle


Does everyone on Earth see the same phases of the moon on any given day?

yes, at sometime everyone on earth is seeing the same phase


How do you get phases of the moon?

The Phases of the moon are caused by the sun shining on one side of the moon- the other side is in shadow. When the moon is beside the earth with the sun shining on half of it, you will see a 1/2 full moon.


What is the density of the Earth's moon?

The average density of the Earth's moon is about 3.34 grams per cubic centimeter, which is roughly 60% of Earth's average density. This lower density suggests that the moon's interior composition is different from Earth's, with a lower proportion of iron and a higher proportion of lighter elements.
