How could you determine mass of the moon?
To determine the mass of the Moon, you can use the gravitational attraction between the Moon and a spacecraft or an object in orbit around it. By measuring the orbital parameters of the spacecraft, such as its orbital radius and period, you can apply Kepler's third law of planetary motion. This law relates the orbital period to the mass of the Moon, allowing you to calculate its mass using the formula ( M = \frac{4\pi^2 r^3}{G T^2} ), where ( G ) is the gravitational constant, ( r ) is the orbital radius, and ( T ) is the orbital period.
How much does the moon way?
weigh i believe is the answer you are looking for..... I'm sure there is a pretty scientific calculation that could determine that answer. But who knows?
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.
What is the mass of Moon's?
The mass of the Moon is 7.3477 × 1022 kg.AdditionallyIn comparison to Earth, mass of moon = 0.0123 Earths. The Moon's mass is 1/81 of Earth's.
What is the moon's mass compared to the earth's mass?
1 earth mass = 81.78 moon mass (rounded)1 moon mass = 0.01223 earth mass = 1.223% of earth mass (rounded)The mass of the moon is only 1.2 percent of the mass of Earth.
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.
What are the 3 factors of weight?
The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.
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.)
Can you determine the mass of the moon if yes then what do we need to know?
The mass of the Moon can be found from a modified form of Kepler's third law of Planetary Motion. You need to know the time taken for the Moon to orbit the Earth and the mass of the Earth. Also you need the distance between the Moon and Earth. Let the orbital period be P Moon's mass = Mm Earth's mass = ME Distance apart = D Gravitational Constant = G Then: Mm + ME = (4pi2/G) x (D3/P2) Note: That equation doesn't show up properly on some pages. To clarify, it involves: pi squared, D cubed and P squared. Also, an artificial satellite orbiting the Moon can be used to find the Moon's mass by the same method: mass of satellite (negligible) + mass of Moon = (4pi2/G) x (D3/P2) D is now the distance of the satellite from the center of mass of the Moon and P is the orbital period of the satellite.
What percentage of moon mass is earths mass?
Earth's moon is roughly 1.2% the mass of earth.
What is the mass of the Moon compared to the mass of the Earth in fractions?
The mass of the moon is about 1/80 that of Earth.
How does mass determine the force of gravity of an object in space such as the earth or moon?
Mass doesn't change when gravity is applied. Mass: The amount of matter in an object VS. Weight: The force of gravity on an object. Example: A cow is 800 kg on Earth, and 800 kg on the moon because you are not changing what the cow is made of.
