∙ 11y agothe moon is a rock and the earth is soil and rock
Well 1)moon has lots of dents 2)the moon is the moon not earth 3)there is no life on the moon 4)the moon is a small fraction of what the earth is Hoped that helps

∙ 12y agoPlanets are in a direct orbit around the sun, while moons are in a direct orbit around a planet, while orbiting the sun.
Planets are in direct orbit around the sun. A moon is in orbit around a planet, so is not in a direct orbit around the sun.

∙ 13y agothe moon is very smaller than the earth because,if the moon was the size of earth it would be hard for living things to be on earth from the moon being in the way all the time and it would be too cold at night.

Who's moon? Rev Sun Myung Moon? Is that who you are asking about? Saturn's moon Jupiter's moon? One must be specific if one is able to answer a question.

How does the size and mass of the moon different from earth?
The mass on the moon and the earth is the same but the weight changes.
How are the size and mass of the moon different from that of the earth?
The diameter of the Moon is 3,474 km and the diameter of the Earth is 12,742 km. This makes the Moon approximately 27% the size of the Earth. The mass of the Moon is 7.347 x 1022 kg and the mass of the Earth is 5.97x 1024 kg. The mass of the Moon is only 1.2% of the mass of the Earth.
How is the size and mass of the moon different from the earth's size and mass?
Earth's diameter about 7925 miles. Moon's diameter about 2160 miles. The diameter of the Moon is 3,474 km and the diameter of the Earth is 12,742 km. This makes the Moon approximately 27% the size of the Earth. The mass of the Moon is 7.347 x 1022 kg and the mass of the Earth is 5.97x 1024 kg. The mass of the Moon is only 1.2% of the mass of the Earth.
What is the moon and size in relation to earth and actual size?
The moon is 1/4 the diameter of the Earth
What is the size difference of the earth and the moon?
In rough rounded figures . . . -- The moon's diameter is 27.3% the size of the Earth's diameter. -- That makes the moon's surface area 7.5% the size of Earth's surface area. -- And it makes the moon's volume 2% the size of the Earth's volume. -- The moon's mass is 1.23% the size of the Earth's mass. (When we notice that the moon has 2% of Earth's volume but only 1.23% its mass, we realize immediately that the moon's average density is only 60% of the Earth's average density.)
How are the size and mass of the moon different for that of the earth?
Size: The Moon has about 1/4 of the diameter of Earth. Mass: The Moon has about 1/81 of the mass of Earth.
How does the size and mass of the moon different from earth?
The mass on the moon and the earth is the same but the weight changes.
How are the size and mass of the moon different from that of Earth?
The moon is smaller than the Earth so that would mean the size is smaller and the mass is also smaller because the mass depends on the size of the object so the moon would have less mass than Earth.

Is mercury or the moon closer to earth's size?
Mercury is larger than the moon and so is closer in size to Earth than the moon is. It should be noted that Mercury is closer in size to the moon than it is to Earth.
How is earths moon different from the Moon's of other planets?
In size and mass it is enormous compared to it's parent planet - The Earth.
How much size is the moon from the earth?
Moon = 1/4 of Earth
How big is the earth to the moon?
The moon is about 1/4th the size of the Earth.

What causes the moon to change it size and what effect does this have on earth?
The moon circles the Earth on a schedule that is approximately 28 days. As it does so the relationship between the Earth and the Sun changes and sunlight shines on different parts of the moon's surface, giving it a different appearance from Earth. Just as the Moon is attracted to Earth by gravity, the Earth too is attracted to the Moon. The oceans are affected by the Moon and the water rises toward the Moon, giving us tidal variations.
