When the moon seems to get bigger we say it is a what moon?
Either full moon, or the moon is on a collision course with Earth and we're all going to die, in which case the name hardly matters.
How is the formation of Earth's Moon and Earth's tilt on its axis related?
We can't be entirely certain, but the Earth's axial tilt may be related to the massive collision with another (now extinct) planet; a collision in which the Moon coalesced from the debris. The same collision would certainly have affected the rate of spin of the pre-Earth.
Will an asteroid hit Earth in 2022?
There are currently no known asteroids on a collision course with Earth in 2022.
Do earth and the moon have atmospheres?
Of course the Earth has an atmosphere- that is the air that you are breathing. However, the Moon does not.
Why doesn't the moon crash into the earth?
The moon doesn't crash into the Earth because of its orbit and the gravitational pull between the two objects. The moon's speed and distance from the Earth keep it in a stable orbit, preventing a collision.
How was the moon possibly formed?
The most probable cause was a collision between the earth and a large asteroid, part of the earth being broken off and forming the moon.
Is it true that the Moon was a chunk of Earth?
It is not true that the Moon was a chunk of Earth. The leading theory is that the Moon was formed from debris created when a Mars-sized object collided with Earth early in its history. This collision released material that eventually coalesced to form the Moon.
Why doesn't the moon crash into Earth?
The moon doesn't crash into Earth because of its orbit and the balance of gravitational forces between the two objects. The moon's speed and distance from Earth keep it in a stable orbit, preventing a collision.
Will the moon ever crash into earth?
the moon receeds a few centimeters a year, So, the answer is NO. Why? Well, the moon formed because something hit Earth. Now, physics says that if two object collide, the energy expended in the collision is going to be sent outwards in an equal amount. So, the moon is getting farther away because the collision with Earth sent it flying.
What is one of the accepted theories of the formation of the moon?
An early collision by (proto) Earth with a large protoplanet..
When a large object collided with earth debris from collision was ejected into orbit and initially formed a?
the moon
Is the earths tilt caused by erosion?
No. Erosion could not have such a dramatic effect on Earth's rotation. The tilt on Earth's axis is likely a result of a collision with another planet early in Earth's history. This same collision formed the moon.
