Where does most of the earth's heat come from?
moon
What two things cause tides?
The two celestial bodies with the most profound effect upon Earth's tides are Earth's moon and the Sun.
How does the moon afect the waters of the earth?
The most basic effect is the changing of the tide level due to the pull of the gravity of the moon.
Does the earth's moon have mountains?
Yes. A list of most of them can be found in the link below.
Explain the most widely-accepted hypothesis about how the Moon was formed?
The most widely accepted theory for how Earth's moon was formed is called the impact theory. It says that the moon formed from a collision between Earth and a Mars-sized object about four and a half billion years ago.
Where would an astronaut weigh the most the moon or earth?
Earth because on the moon you would weigh one sixth
What would weigh more 1 kilogram of apples on earth or 1 kilogram bag of apples on the moon?
A 1 pound bag on the moon contains more apples. weight equals mass× gravitational aceleration. since the acceleration on earth is nearly 6 time the acceleration of the moon, thus if both bags have the same weight and the apples' mass on earth is x then there mass on moon is 6x
Where would you weigh the most on a boat on the space shuttle or on the moon?
Normally you would weigh the most on a boat. However, you would weigh more on a space shuttle while it is ascending while being launched.
What phases of the moon would someone on earth see when the moon is at positions A through F?
On Earth, someone would most likely see less then half of a moon.
On which planet would you weigh most on?
In our Solar System you would weigh the most on Jupiter. [See related link] On whatever planet weighs the most or has the most mass. For example the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s on earth. On lets say the moon, it has a smaller mass therefore has a smaller acceleration due to gravity. So you would "weigh" less. On Jupiter , because weight of 110 LB (50 kg) on Earth will be 276.5 LB(125.5 kg) on the planet Jupiter.
What caused the moon and the earth to form?
Most people would say god
Is your mass the same on earth as it is on the moon?
Yes, the mass would be constant but the weight would be different. The weight of an object would change on the moon because weight is defined as the downward pull of an object due to gravity. Since mass is not dependent on gravity, the mass of an object would stay the same no matter where you are.
If Earth's tides decrease what would be the most likely explanation?
A shift in the orbit of the moon.
If earth's tide decreased what would be most likely explanation?
A shift in the orbit of the moon.
What is a pedigree moon?
The time when the earth feels the most pressure from the moon; the time when the moon is closest to the earth.
Where would water be found on the moon?
most likely on the top of the of the moon Edit: To previous answer... There is no 'top of the moon'. To one side of the earth (the bottom) the top would be different then the other side of the moon (the top).
What would happen if NASA detonated a nuclear bomb on the moon?
The blast would probably be seen on earth, but as the moon has no atmosphere most of the force would go into space.
