The earth's diameter is 3.7 times the diameter of the moon.
The earth's surface area is 13.4 times the surface area of the moon.
The earth's volume is 48.9 times the volume of the moon.
The earth's mass is 81 times the mass of the moon.
Looks like the answer is 'no'.
No, the eart is a lot bigger than the moon, that is why the moon revolves around the earth. if the earth was smaller than the earth, the earth would be a moon of the moon, which wouldnt really be a moon anymore. other planets have multiple moons. some planets dont have any.
Yes. 10,000 Earths could fit inside the Sun and the moon is smaller than Earth. If the moon was bigger we wouldn't have daylight. The moon would cover the sun.
Yes, its true that sun is much larger than moon. If the size is concerned, then it can be said that since 13 lakhs earth is equivalent to one sun and moon is a satellite of earth, so definitely sun will be greater than moon......
Yes, though from Earth they appear to be about the same size. The sun and moon appear to be the same size but in actuality the sun is quite a bit larger. The diameter of the sun is about 864,900 miles and the moon is only 2,160 miles. The reason for the apparent size equality is due to the distance of each from the earth. The moon is much closer at 238,857 miles, while the sun is 93,000,000 miles away.
Nobody knows, or will know. There are about 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy.
If we assume (incorrectly) that each star has the same amount as moons as our Sun, then the total will be around 37,600,000,000,000 moons
The answer is unknown. In our solar system, Mercury and Venus have no moons. Earth has one natural satellite. Mars has two moons. Jupiter is known to have 64, and Saturn at least 60. Uranus has 27 and Neptune 13. The total number of moons in our solar system is therefore at least 167. The dwarf planet Pluto is accompanied by Charon, which is more of a coplanet than a moon, due to its relative size.
We have found over 100 solar systems beyond ours--stars with planets. We cannot yet detect moons about those planets. It is quite an achievement simply to confirm the existence of exoplanets (planets orbiting other suns).
Planets may be more common in spiral galaxies than in globular galaxies, which would reduce the number of moons. Still, to arrive at a "conservative" average, let's assume each star has planets with a total of 10 moons. Many may have no planets at all, but some (like ours) will have far more than that. Since there are 100 billion stars in our galaxy, that would suggest perhaps a trillion moons. As there are a hundred billion galaxies in the universe, the product would be a hundred billion trillion moons.
100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 is one hundred octillion.
It depends which moon and which sun you are talking about. if you are talking about earth's moon and the solar systems sun, NO! the sun is many times bigger than the moon. All stars are actually suns, and most planets have many moons. It really depends which ones you are talking about.
It also depends on what you mean by "big". Physically larger or more massive ****************** The sun is actually 400 times larger than the moon, with a diameter of 865,000 miles as compared to the moon's 2,160 miles.
166 moons of planets:
Earth - 1
Mars - 2
Jupiter - 63
Saturn - 60
Uranus - 27
Neptune - 13
6 moons of dwarf planets dwarf planets: Pluto - 3 Haumea - 2 Eris - 1
Also, there are 104 asteroid moons and 58 satellites of Trans-Neptunian objects
Earth's Moon is larger than Pluto. The Moon's diameter is 3476 km while Pluto's is approximately 2,274 km.
7 Ganymede, Callisto, Titan, the Moon, Io, Europa and Triton.
There are about 170 known moons in our solar system and probably hundreds of billions more in other solar systems in our galaxy.
The biggest Planet in solar system Jupiter has the most number of known moons. they are 63. including the biggest moon in solar system "Ganymede" along with "Io" , "Europa" etc
There are 180 moons in our solar system.
The planet Jupiter has the most known moons of any planet in our solar system, with 63 (as of 2011). Saturn has 62 known and named moons, but may have more depending on the classification of the many small bodies within its ring system.
None. Ganymede is a moon of Jupiter. No moon in the solar system has moons of its own.
There are 178 known moons that orbit planets in our Solar System. A lot more might be discovered - depending in part on the size limit you want to use.
There are about 170 known moons in our solar system and probably hundreds of billions more in other solar systems in our galaxy.
No. There are more than that. There are currently 173 known moons orbiting planets in our solar system and many more orbiting dwarf planets, asteroids, and comets.
2. Of the eight in our solar system, only mercury and Venus have no known moons.
There are at least 5 known or theorized volcanic moons in our solar system. The Moon, Jupiter's moon Io, Saturn's moons Enceladus and Titan, and Neptune's moon Triton are all volcanic.
The biggest Planet in solar system Jupiter has the most number of known moons. they are 63. including the biggest moon in solar system "Ganymede" along with "Io" , "Europa" etc
Mercury and Venus do not have moons.
169 moons.
There are 180 moons in our solar system.
There are six.
About 120 planets are in our solar system.
Neptune is the eighth planet in our solar system, and the farthest from the sun. There are 14 known moons in its orbit.
