What else can I help you with?
Are the earth sun and the moon the same sizes?
No!
Is the Earth's moon smaller than Pluto?
it has a one fifth mass of earths moon and one third volume of earths moon
The moon is to the earth, as the earth is to what?
The moon is to the earth, as the earth is to the sun.
What will you see if you look at the Moon's craters from earth?
You could see a dark circle than the color of the moon and little lines either surrounding it or near it with other circles,but with different sizes.
How did the moon appear from the earth in geologic time?
The moon has been visible from Earth for billions of years. Over geologic time, the moon has gone through various phases, including different sizes and distances from Earth due to gravitational interactions. Its appearance has evolved but has always been a constant presence in our skies.
What is a small body revolving around planet - a moon?
A moon is a natural satellite that orbits a planet. Moons come in various sizes and can have different characteristics depending on their composition and distance from the planet. The Earth's moon is an example of a natural satellite.
Why does the moon appear to be different size?
The Moon's orbit is elliptical; it can be as near to Earth as 240,000 miles and as far as 280,000 miles. Near the horizon, there are atmospheric illusions that make the Moon appear to be larger than it is. The more "full" the Moon is, the bigger it appears to be. When these factors are combined, at the time of the perigee full moon, the Moon can be objectively about 15% larger than normal, and the illusion at Moonrise can make the Moon appear to be enormous. The moon looks different sizes at different times due to the distance apart it is from earth. The further away the moon is from earth the smaller it will look. The closer to earth it is the bigger it will look.
Why does the earth cast a strait shadow on the moon even though the earth is round?
The earth doesn't cast any shadow on the moon. The moon appears partially in shadow because sunlight only hits it from one direction at a time. It appears perfectly cut in two with a straight line when sunlight is hitting the moon from a 90 degree angle to the earth. The only time the Earth casts a shadow on the Moon is during a lunar eclipse, and in those cases, the shadow, like the Earth, is round.
How is the moon able to block the sun if it is so much smaller?
The moon can block the sun despite being much smaller because it is much closer to Earth. During a solar eclipse, the moon passes directly between the Earth and the sun, casting a shadow on Earth. The alignment of the sun, moon, and Earth allows the moon to cover the sun's disk from certain vantage points on Earth, creating the effect of the sun being blocked. This phenomenon is a result of the relative sizes and distances of the celestial bodies involved.
What is bigger the moon or the earth?
Earth, by far.
Does the moon orbit Earth or does the Earth orbit the moon?
The moon orbits Earth.
Which statement best explains why the sun and the moon appear to be about the same size in the atmosphere?
The sun and the moon appear to be about the same size in the atmosphere during a solar eclipse due to a coincidence in their apparent sizes from Earth's perspective. The sun is much larger than the moon, but it is also much farther away, making them appear similar in size when viewed from Earth.
