Why is the moon the biggest cellestial object seen from the earth?

As you know, it is a satellite of the earth. Any object smaller than the earth and nearest to the earth will either fall to earth or circle around it due to a previous inertia. Artificial satellites can be cited as examples


Why is the moon called a satellite of earth?

A satellite is an object that orbits around a planet or body in space. There are artificial satellites and natural satellites.

A natural satellite naturally finds its way into close orbit around a planet, like the moon naturally orbits the Earth.


What is the acceleration of an object moving upward?

On earth, the vertical acceleration of any object that's free to move vertically,and has no artificial force imposed on it, is 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2,directed downward. The source of the acceleration is the mutual gravitationalattraction between the object and the earth.


What is an example of gravity acting on a moving object?

The sun's gravity keeping the earth in orbit around the sun.


An object is in motion if its position changes relative to a what?

An object is in motion if it changes position relative to a reference point. Motion is a relative quantity and is expressed in respect to the position of another object. Example: both a car and the Earth are moving (earth is revolving around the sun) but if we express the motion of the car in respect to the Earth, we say the car is moving relative to the Earth. At the same time the earth is moving relative to the sun.

Is an object that is not moving relative to Earth a blue shift?

No, an object not moving relative to Earth is not a blue shifted object. With no relative motion, an object will not be subject to Doppler effect and will not red or blue shift. For an object to be blue shifted, the distance between the object and Earth must be decreasing. The object must be closing on Earth or vice versa.


What is the difference between a natural and an artificial satellite?

An artificial satellite is a man-made object injected into orbit around another object (The Space Station is an artificial satellite of the Earth). A natural satellite is a "natural" object that orbits around another object (The Moon is a natural satellite of the Earth).
