Why don't stars twinkle from the moon?
Stars do not twinkle from the moon because the moon does not have an atmosphere like the Earth does. The twinkling of stars is caused by the light from the stars passing through the Earth's atmosphere and being distorted by the movement of air currents. Since the moon lacks an atmosphere, the light from the stars does not twinkle when viewed from its surface.
What does the presence of maria on the moon indicates?

Can the moon cast a shadow?
Yes, the moon can cast a shadow. During a lunar eclipse, when the Earth comes between the sun and the moon, the Earth's shadow is cast onto the surface of the moon, causing it to temporarily darken.
Do the stars orbit the moon?
The Moon orbits the Earth.
Where is the common center of gravity of the earth and moon?
The common center of gravity, or barycenter, of the Earth and Moon is located inside the Earth, about 4,600 kilometers (approximately 2,900 miles) from the Earth's center. This point lies beneath the Earth's surface because the Earth is significantly more massive than the Moon. The barycenter moves as the Moon orbits the Earth, but it remains within Earth's volume due to the mass difference.
How many stars are between the earth and the moon?
There are no stars between the Earth and the Moon. The stars we see in the night sky are much farther away. The Moon is located within our own solar system, while the stars are located at much greater distances in our galaxy and beyond.
Do stars twinkle if see from the moon surface?
No.
Why does the moon look brighter than the stars?
moon is too nearer to earth than stars
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.
Can stars be seen from the moon when the sun is shining?
No, the moon's surface is too reflective when the light is shining, and therefore the sun's light reflected from the moon's surface blocks any stars from being visible from the surface of the moon by either eye or camera.
Why do you think the Moon's surface is different from the earth?
Because when I look up from the Earth, the surface of the Moon looks like nothing on Earth.
Why does the moon seem so big compared to the stars?
Because the Moon is much nearer than the stars to the Earth.
