Determine the weight of a person on the Moon whose weight on the Earth is 183 lb?
Determine the weight of a person on the Moon whose weight on the Earth is 183 lb.
What are the two factors that determine how bright a star looks from earth?
proximity to the moon and distance
How does the moon determine the weather?
With the exception of the ocean tides here on earth, which are caused by the pull of the Moon, the Moon has no effect on earths weather. And the Moon has no weather of it's own, of course.
What is the role of the sun in the moon phases?
The Moon is a reflection of the sun, so the earth and moons rotation determine how much light is reflected off the moon, so parts of the moon are visible.
Did sunita williams goes to moon or space?
She has never been to the Moon. The furthest she has been is low Earth orbit.
What two factors determine when tides occur?
The rotation of the Earth and the moon
Determine the weight of a person on the Moon whose weight on the Earth is 183 lb?
Determine the weight of a person on the Moon whose weight on the Earth is 183 lb.
Does the moon determine the tides because of the gravity between earth and moon?
yes.
The position of what three bodies determine the phase of the moon?
The sun, the earth, and the moon.
What can determine moon phase?
The position of the earth and moon on their orbit around the sun, determines how much and what area of the moon is lit by sunlight. The moon's phases are what we can view from the earth.
How are moon rocks used to determine the age of the Earth?
The oldest moon rocks are actually older than the oldest Earth rocks. The moon formed from accreted material that resulted from a collision between Earth and a Mars sized protoplanet. Both the Earth and the moon were molten for a period after the collision. Because of the moon's smaller size, it's surface cooled very quickly compared to the Earth. The solidified magma (rock) that formed the moon's crust has been dated at roughly 4.4 billion years of age. Even though no Earth rock has been found to date this old, we can still reasonably assume that the Earth is at least that old due to the fact that the moon is formed from accreted material from the previously mentioned collision.
A seismogragh left on the moon could be used to determine?
the exact distance between earth and moon
How many woman have been on the moon?
No Earth women have ever been on the moon, but many have been over the moon.
What basis do evolutionists use to determine the world is 4.5 billion years old?
Isotope dating from rocks is the main method that is used. Zircon crystals that formed on Earth have been dataed to over 4 billions years old. Dating has also been done on rocks fromt he moon, which formed shortly after earth did, to nearly 4.6 billion years.
Why moon tiny?
In order for the moon to have been captured by the earth, it has to be smaller than the earth. If it were bigger, it would have pulled the earth into its orbit, making the earth the moon.
How have scientists been able to determine the composition of Earth's layers?
Severals methods are all combined to give the scientist info on the layers of the Earth. For example they study the influence of the earth on orbits of the moon and other planets (mass distribution of the earth, mass density). They study the way seismic waves go through the earth which gives knowledge of layers. They use wave to sound. They examine sample of earth.
Who has been to earth's moon?
Astronauts.
