What is one way in which earth and the moon contrast?
The moon is 4x smaller than the earth, causing the moon to cover up completely the sun on a solar eclipse.
Why does the new moon receive sunlight only on the side facing away from earth?
well since the moon only face us one side when a eclipse occur the side which faceing the earth are going to be shadow because the sun is at the back of the moon which is why a eclipse occur. by the way the moon only face one side becuase the moon take the same time to orbit the earth and turns around on its own axist. the simple way to understand is that when the moon orbit the earth quater way and itself turns quater way, when it orbit the earth another quater way it turns quater way and so on so on like that, in conclution no mater what happens the moon will only facing us use one side of it face.
Who was affected on the 1st moon landing?
I would say pretty much the whole world, in one way or another.
Do you way more on earth or on the moon?
You would weigh way less on the moon. For example. If you weighed 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh 16.6 pounds on the moon.
How is the sun affected by nuclear powers from earth?
In no way
What is one way in witch earth is affected by the moon?
the moon, as it rotates around the earth, creates the tides of the ocean through it's gravitational pull
Does the earth's minerals magnetization is the way to earth rotate or fullmoon effect?
Your question is not clear and it is difficult to understand. However the earth's magnetization is not affected by rotation or the full moon.
Was our moon affected in any way when the meteor that killed the dinosaurs hit the Earth?
no proof of what happened, but if it was a meteor, parts could have hit off onto the moon.
What is a sport no way affected by differences in frictional effects between the earth and the moon?
Every sport because the earth and moon are not in close enough proximity to generate friction between their surfaces. If you mean sports that aren't affected by air-friction, which would be present on earth but less significant on the moon, then mind sports would be a candidate, as would space suit grappling.

Why is the moon's lunar cycle longer than it takes the moon to complete one revolution?
its the way the earth is
How is Jupiter's moon Ganymede similar to Earth's moon?
In one way it has craters. The other is it has dark spots.
What happens if the moon doesn't have inertia as it travels around the earth?
If the moon doesn't have inertia, it means that if any force whatsoever is applied to it, it will be way out of wack. Inertia causes something to be resistant against a change in motion so if the moon had too much inertia, it would not move at the proper speed and Earth would be affected by its drop in movement. If the moon had no inertia, it wouldn't continue to keep its proper and exact distance from the earth and Earth would be affected by its increase in movement.Hope this helps!! =)
Why do the moon go around the earth?
It's stuck in the Earth gravitaional pull.Another answer:Because the Earth has a gravitational pull on the moon. Actually, the Earth and moon revolve around each other common center of gravity. Without the Earth in it's way the moon would just head off in a straight line. Instead, as the moon tries to move away, the Earth does two remarkable things. One, it pulls the moon towards Earth, and two, the Earth moves out of the moon's way.
Does it take the moon almost one month to travel all the way around earth?
Yes, our months are based on the movement of the moon around the earth.
Why does one rotation of the moon equal one orbit of the moon?
The moon orbits the earth in such a way that the same side of the moon is facing towards the earth at all times. A fancy way of describing this is that the moon rotates once when it orbits the earth once. Rocks returned from the Apollo lunar landings are made of the same material as the rocks on earth. Scientists now believethat the moon was created when another object slammed into the earth back when the earth was still very hot and had a much thinner crust. The moon is a combination of the earth at that timeand the object that hit us. That is why the moon rotates once with evey revolution.
Why does the new moon receive sunlight only on the side facing away from earth?
