Why is one day on the moon one year in earth time?
That is not true. One day on the Moon (the Earths natural satellite) is a time that elapses during its rotation around its own axis and is about 27 Earthly days. On the other hand, one Moon day is also one Moon year as it takes almost same time for Moon to finish orbit around Earth once.
Is it true that the moon orbits the earth once every day?
no
Gravity on the moon is less than on the earth True or False?
True. Gravity on the moon is about one-sixth that of Earth's gravity.
Length of the Moon's day?
The Moon's day, or "lunar day" lasts about 29.5 Earth days, which is the time it takes for the Moon to complete one full rotation on its axis. This is the same amount of time it takes for the Moon to complete one orbit around the Earth.
Is it true that the moon orbits the earth?
Absolutely true. Proof? The moon moves across the sky at night (and day) dragging the Earth's oceans with it, causing tides.
Is it still true that the moon has no air?
Yes, the moon has no atmosphere, which means it has no air. This lack of atmosphere is why the moon's surface temperature can vary greatly between day and night, and why there is no weather or wind on the moon.
How long is a day on the moon Io?
A day on Jupiter's moon Io is 1.769, 137, 786 days. Io is in a synchronous orbit, which means that a moon's orbit around its parent planet is the same as one of the moon's day.
Is one moon day shorter than 1 earth day?
No. One "lunar day" is 29.5 days.
Is charon a true moon?
Yes, Charon is a true moon.
Can you see the entire full moon true or false?
You can see one side of the moon, but not the whole, entire thing.
Is it true that there can be 2 full moons in 2 days?
No. A completely full moon happens at a moment in time, and it won't happen again for another 29.5 days. However, if the moment of the full moon is near midnight where you live, then technically it happens a day earlier one timezone east of you, and the day after one timezone west of you. This is why the precise time of the full moon is normally expressed in Greenwich Mean Time.
What causes the moon to have day and night?
The same thing that causes the Earth to have day and night; the Moon spins. Slowly, it is true. The Moon always has the same face turned toward the Earth, but since the Moon orbits the Earth that means that the Moon spins (relative to the Sun) once per orbit. So a "day" on the Moon lasts a little over 14 days, and the lunar "night" is just as long.
