How the moon has been studied and explored?
the moon drier than any desert on Earth, but the water is said to
The Moon's gravity is 6 times ------ than that on the Earth's surface?
The Moon's gravity is 6 times weaker than that on the Earth's surface.
Does the moon gets more light from the sun than the earth does?
Since the moon does not have an atmosphere, the sunlight that reaches the surface of the moon is more intense than the sunlight that reaches the surface of the Earth after passing through the Earth's atmosphere.
Why is the weight on earth different than the weight on the moon?
-- Your weight depends on the mass of the other mass to which you are gravitationallyattracted, and also on your distance from its center.-- The mass of the moon is much less than the mass of the Earth.-- The moon's surface is much closer to its center than the Earth's surface is to its center.
How is the moon larger than the earth?
-- The earth's diameter (distance through the center) is about 3.7 times the moon's diameter. -- The earth's surface area is about 13.5 times the moon's surface area. -- The earth's volume is about 49.5 times the moon's volume. -- The earth's mass is about 82 times the moon's mass.
When brought to the surface of a moon will a mass have more or less weight when it did on the surface of th earth?
The mass will definitely weigh less as the moon is less massive than the Earth and hence the Gravity of the Moon will be lesser than Earth. The object's weight will be 1/6 times that on Earth.
Why more craters are present on the Moon's surface than on Earth's?
because the moon does not have a equater like the earth to protact it self ;)
Why can a astronaut carry more massive equipment around on the moon than on earth?
Because anything on the surface of the moon has only about 1/6 the weight that it has on the Earth's surface.
Is the gravity on the moon as strong as gravity on earth?
That depends on exactly what you mean. The Law of Universal Gravitation has "universal" in the name for a reason. It's the same on the Moon as it is on Earth, and the gravitational constant is identical there. However, the mass of the Moon is quite a bit less than the mass of the Earth. Countering that slightly, the Moon is also smaller than the Earth, meaning objects on its surface are closer to its center than objects on the Earth's surface are to the Earth's center. The net result is that the Moon's surface gravity is about one sixth that of the Earth.
Is the Moon smaller than Earth the same size as Earth or larger than Earth?
The Moon is considerably smaller than the Earth. Its volume is about 2% of the Earth's. Its mass is only about 1.2% of the Earth's. Its surface gravity is about 1/6 that of the Earth.
How is the Moon's gravity composed to earth?
The acceleration of gravity on or near the surface of the moon, and therefore the weight of objects located there, is about 83.5 percent less than on Earth. An object on the surface of the moon weighs about 1/6 of what it weighs on Earth.
Why is the moon's surface much heavily cratered than earth surface?
The moon has no atmosphere and is geologically inactive.The craters on earth have been eroded by weather, geological events and life
