The mass of the Moon is 7.347 x 10 to the 22 kg. But the Earth is much more massive. The mass of the Earth is 5.97x 10 to the 24 kg. The Moon is only 1.2% of the mass of the Earth. As a comparison you would need 81 Moon masses to match the mass of the Earth.

∙ 12y agoYes, that is basically correct. The Sun has about 1000 times the mass of Jupiter, Jupiter has more mass than all the other planets combined, and the combined mass of everything else (comets, asteriods, ...) is probably insignificant.
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoNo. Overall, Earth's gravity is weaker than the sun's because of its smaller mass. However, we feel stronger gravity from Earth because we are right at its surface while the sun is tens of millions of miles away.

∙ 15y agoThe Earth has a solid crust, with tectonic "plates" floating over a quasi-liquid mantle over a molten core.
The Moon doesn't seem to have the same structure; it does not seem to have a molten core with a solid crust. The Moon appears to be solid all the way through.

∙ 13y agoThe sun appears smaller in size when seen from earth because of the long distance between the sun and earth. In actuality the radius of the sun is 100 times bigger than earth and the volume of the sun is about 1,000,000 times bigger than the earth's.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoNot so much. Our Sun is perhaps a little bigger than average, but not by much. Of course, WE think our Sun is "just right". :-)
Its a small star that is in the right place to give us heat that won't burn us to death. We should be thank full =D
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoNo. The sun's mass is about 330,000 times that of Earth, roughly one third of a million.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoThe sun is about 330,000 times the mass of the earth.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoNo! The Sun is thousands of times more massive than the Earth.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoThe Sun has 200 times more mass than ALL the planets, moons, asteroids and comets all put together.

Is your weight the same on earth as it is on the moon?
No. You are lighter on the moon than on earth, though your mass remains unchanged.
Is titan larger or smaller than earth?
Titan is the largest moon of Saturn. Smaller than the earth it is, however, larger than the planet Mercury though has less mass
Is Jupiter 318 times larger than the sun?
No, Jupiter is only about 1/1000 the mass of the sun. It is 318 times the mass of the Earth though.
What planets are bigger than earth but smaller than neptune?
No planet is smaller than Neptune, but larger than Earth in diameter, but Uranus is there in mass. Uranus, even though larger, is less massive than Neptune. Neptune is a giant planet, but not as large as we believe. It is just 3 or 4 times larger than Earth in diameter, but is 16 times massive. Even Uranus is just 13 times. Jupiter and Saturn are much much bigger than all these planets.
What planets have more mass than earth?
Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, and all have more mass than Earth.
Even though the sun has a greater mass than earth the moon orbits earth because it's what to earth then to the sun?
It is closer
Is earth matter?
Everything that has any mass at all is considered matter. This includes Jupiter. Even though the planet is made of gas, gas is still matter, so Jupiter is matter.
Why does the density of Saturn is much less than earth's even though it is much bigger in size?
Saturn is a planet made out of mostly gas. As gas has little mass, it is less dense than Earth. Remember that density is proportional to its mass and surface area.
Why does our weight change as we move from earth's surface to the moon's?
Because weight is determined by gravitational pull on your mass. The Moon has less gravitational pull than earth so you will weigh less, even though your mass remains the same.
Is your weight the same on earth as it is on the moon?
No. You are lighter on the moon than on earth, though your mass remains unchanged.
Would person weigh more or less on the moon?
The Moon is much smaller than the Earth, and its Mass is much less. Thus the pull of gravity is much less on the Moon.Therefore, you would weigh less on the Moon than on Earth, even though your Mass would be the same.
Why does earth feel a greater tidal force from the moon than from the sun?
The moon is closer to Earth, and, since gravitational force varies inversely with the distance and mass of two objects, since the sun is farther away, even though it has more mass, it has less pull on the earth.
Why is the weight of an object different on earth and the moon even though the objects mass is the same in both places?
Mass is an intrinsic property of matter, it does not vary. Weight however is variable, it is a measure of the pull of gravity on a mass. As the Moon's gravity is less than that of the Earth, a mass will weigh less on the Moon than it does on the Earth. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Because the mass of the moon is different from the earth's. Also their radii is different. (Note : weight = gravity x mass and gravity = m1 x m2/(r x r)

What is gravity and how does it affect your mass?
Gravity is the force all objects exert on all other objects. For example, the earth's mass exerts force on your mass and attracts you to earth while your mass attracts the earth (slightly) to you. Even though gravity is an interaction between mass, it doesn't actually affect mass. Your mass on the moon, which has less gravitational pull that the earth, is no different that your mass on Jupiter, which has more gravitational pull than the earth. What changes is your weight, which is equal to your mass multiplied by the gravitational pull you are experiencing.
Is Venus's gravity stronger then earth's gravity?
No. Venus has less mass than Earth, though not by very much. As a result, gravity on Venus is slightly weaker than on Earth.
