The Moon's size isn't all that big. The surface area of the Moon is about the size of the African continent.

Why does the Moon's appearance keep changing?

because the light on the moon is reflected by the earth so when the earth is not facing on the moon there is not that much light


If my weight is 58 in earth so how much in moon?

If your weight is 58 on earth it is different on the moon because the gravitational pull on the moon is different.


Can you escape the earth gravity by going to the moon?

No. If you are on the moon, then the moon is the dominant gravitational body in your area, but the moon still orbits Earth and so is still very much under the influence of Earth's gravity.


How do temperatures on the moon different from the earth?

Temperatures vary so much because the moon does not have an atmosphere.


Why is gravity on the moon not as strong as on earth?

The moon has far less mass than Earth, so the force of gravity will be much lower.


Why the moon orbits around earth not the sun?

The Moon orbits around the Earth because it is under the gravitational influence of Earth. This gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth. The Sun's gravitational force is much stronger, but the Moon's orbit around the Earth is stable due to the balance between these gravitational forces.


How much is 36 kilos on earth on the moon?

The moon's gravity is roughly 1/6 that of earth, so 36 kilos on earth would weigh approximately 6 kilos on the moon.


How much would the person above weigh on the moon?

The moon is 1/4 the size of Earth, so the moon's gravity is much less than the earth's gravity, 83.3% (or 5/6) less to be exact. So take your weight and multiply it by .167 and that is how much you would weigh on the moon.


How does the spinning of the earth effect earth's water?

It actually doesnt much. The main contributing factor to the movement of the water and tides is the moon. Every day= 1 revolution around earth for the moon, so the tides go with the moon. So actaully, the rotation of the earth really doesnt effect it much.


Is there any gravity on the moon and the astronaut on the moon?

Yes, there is gravity on the moon, but it is much weaker than on Earth. The gravitational pull on the moon is about 1/6th of that on Earth, so astronauts on the moon experience lower gravity.


Does the moon have lower gravity than earth?

Yes: the moon is smaller than the earth, so it's gravitational force is much weaker.


Does the sun and moon make the earth?

I think it does because are sun is very much needed so is the moon
