How did Apollo landings on the moon help scientists determine the age of the moon?
They brought back samples of lunar rocks so the scientist's could determine the age of the moon.
Moon gravity vs earths gravity?
Moon gravity is less because the atmosphere and mass and the earths gravity is greater than the moon if you weight yourself in the earth and then you weighted yourself in the moon you would weight less in the moon you could actually float in the moon because of its atmosphere and mass
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.
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 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 can you determine the mass of Moon?
By the force of its gravitational attraction.

What determines how much you weigh on any planet or the moon?
There are only 3 variables. Your mass, the mass of the planet or moon that you are on, and the diameter of that planet or moon. You can then mathematically determine your weight in accordance with Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.
A seismogragh left on the moon could be used to determine?
the exact distance between earth and moon
How could you determine your mass using water a bathtubsomething to measure water with and Archimedes' princilpe?
How could you determine your mass using water, a bathtub,something to measure water with, and Archimedes' princilpe?
How could you find the density of water?
density = mass/volume Determine the mass and volume of the water, and then divide the mass by the volume, and that will give you the density.
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.
Moon gravity vs earths gravity?
Moon gravity is less because the atmosphere and mass and the earths gravity is greater than the moon if you weight yourself in the earth and then you weighted yourself in the moon you would weight less in the moon you could actually float in the moon because of its atmosphere and mass
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 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.)
