No moon, no tides. Ocean water is a physical feature on earth that is dependent on the moon because the moon's gravity pull causes ebb and flood.
The Earth's rotation is not dependent on the Moon; without the Moon, the Earth would still rotate. However, the Moon's gravitation gradually slows down Earth's rotation, so without the Moon, it is possible that Earth would now be rotating faster.The Earth's rotation is not dependent on the Moon; without the Moon, the Earth would still rotate.

The tides are dependent on the earth's moon because the moon's gravitational pull brings the waves from high tide to low tide. Without the moon, waves would not exist.
One significant feature of the moon is its gravitational pull, which causes the tides on Earth. Another significant feature is its lack of atmosphere, which exposes it to space debris and radiation. Additionally, the moon's phases, caused by its position relative to the sun and Earth, are another notable feature.
The Sea of Tranquility does not exist on Earth- it is a terrain feature on the Moon.
The Moon was first available on that site's Earth feature in July of 2009. The site chose to release that feature in honor of the fortieth anniversary of the Apollo 11 situation.
The Moon is dependent on the Sun primarily for illumination; it does not produce its own light but reflects sunlight, making it visible from Earth. Additionally, the Sun's gravitational pull influences the Moon's orbit around Earth, affecting tides and the relative positions of the Earth-Moon-Sun system. This interplay shapes various celestial phenomena, including lunar phases.
Weight is dependent on gravity, which is weaker on the Moon than on Earth. The gravitational force on the Moon is about 1/6th that of Earth. Therefore, if you weigh 100 newtons on Earth, you would weigh approximately 16.67 newtons on the Moon.
Earth, Moon, and Sun. As the Moon orbits the Earth, different fractions of its illuminated surface are visible to us on Earth, creating the different phases. The interaction of the sunlight with the Moon's position relative to the Earth causes the varying phases we observe.
The Bay of Honor is Sinus Honoris - a named feature on Earth's moon.
There are no rings around the earth. The only truely notable feature is the mass of our single moon.
No. The Moons phases are determined by the relative angles between the Sun, Earth and Moon. The changing position of the moon in the sky is because of the Earth's rotation, so is dependent on the time of day.
No. The Moon's mass is only about 1/81 of the Earth, and gravity is dependent on mass and distance. Lunar surface gravity is about 1/6 that of Earth beause the Moon's surface is closer to the center of mass.
