The mass of the moon is less than then the mass of the earth therefore the gravitational forces are less on the moon. It therefore allows people to take bigger strides or hops on the moon.

Does the moon come before the Earth?

The Moon orbits AROUND the Earth.


Why does the moon change to a first quarter moon?

The sun reflects on the moon differently when the moon moves around the earth therefore, creating the change to a first quarter moon.


What causes the moon to appear differently over the course of a month?

The angle between the moon, the Earth, and the sun changes over a month, and since we only see the side of the moon that is reflecting the sun's light, it seems that the moon appears differently.


Why do you see the moon differently each day?

The changing appearance of the moon is due to its orbit around the Earth. As the moon moves in its orbit, the angle between the sun, Earth, and moon changes, causing different portions of the moon to be illuminated and visible from Earth. This creates the phases of the moon that we see from Earth.


How was the moon like when the earth was snowball earth?

During the Snowball Earth period, the moon would have appeared largely the same as it does today—shining in the night sky and affecting tides on Earth. The moon's appearance and behavior would not have significantly changed during this time.


Do the moon and earth receive the same amount of heat from sun?

Sunlight arrives with the same intensity on the Earth and on the moon. However, it affects the moon differently than the Earth because the Earth has an atmosphere and the moon doesn't. Hence, the moon gets hotter during the lunar day, and colder during the lunar night.


Where does the heat of the earth come from?

moon


How will the Earth rotate without moon?

The Earth's rotation is not dependent on the Moon; without the Moon, the Earth would still rotate. However, the Moon's gravitation gradually slows down Earth's rotation, so without the Moon, it is possible that Earth would now be rotating faster.The Earth's rotation is not dependent on the Moon; without the Moon, the Earth would still rotate.

What happens to a bullet on the moon?

On the Moon, a bullet would travel differently than on Earth due to the lack of atmosphere. Without air resistance, it would maintain its velocity and travel much further than it would on Earth, where drag quickly slows it down. The bullet would also follow a more direct trajectory, forming a parabolic path. However, it would eventually land due to the Moon's gravitational pull, which is about one-sixth that of Earth's.


What if the moon was bigger than earth?

If the moon was bigger than the Earth, than Earth would orbit it and, by our current definitions, it would be a moon.


Why did the Earth's and Moon's surfaces evolve differently?

because Earth's and moon's is different planet and difference functional, we can get everything from them and moon's only planet that can help us for soft shines during evening which is got from the sun.
