Is the mass of the moon greater than the mass of the earth?
No. The mass of the moon is a fraction of the earth's mass.
Why gravity on earth is greater than that of moon?
Because the Earth has 80 times as much mass as the Moon has, and the greater radius of the Earth is not enough to cancel the effect of the mass difference.
Why moon has less g value then earth?
The moons gravity is less than that of the earth, since the earths mass is greater than the moons mass. Gravity is related to mass and distance from that mass. The greater the mass, the greater the gravitational field it has.
How many times is Earth larger than the Moon?
Earth's diameter is about 3.7 times bigger than the Moon's Earth's volume is about 50 times greater than the Moon's Earth's surface area is about 14.29 times greater than the Moon's Earth's mass is about 81.3 times greater than the Moon's
Even though the sun has a greater mass than earth the moon orbits earth because it's what to earth then to the sun?
It is closer
Is the mass of the moon greater than the mass of the earth?
No. The mass of the moon is a fraction of the earth's mass.
What is the characteristic of the earth that causes it to have greater gravity than the moon?
Gravity of any body is directly proportional to its mass,since the mass of earth is greater than that of moon so earth has greater gravity.
Why gravity on earth is greater than that of moon?
Because the Earth has 80 times as much mass as the Moon has, and the greater radius of the Earth is not enough to cancel the effect of the mass difference.
Why does the earth have a greater mass than the moon?
Because it is about the same density, and is much larger than the moon.
Why the gravity on earth is greater than that moon?
Mainly because the Earth has about 80 times as much mass as the Moon has.
Why moon has less g value then earth?
The moons gravity is less than that of the earth, since the earths mass is greater than the moons mass. Gravity is related to mass and distance from that mass. The greater the mass, the greater the gravitational field it has.
How many times is Earth larger than the Moon?
Earth's diameter is about 3.7 times bigger than the Moon's Earth's volume is about 50 times greater than the Moon's Earth's surface area is about 14.29 times greater than the Moon's Earth's mass is about 81.3 times greater than the Moon's
How does newtons law of universal gravitational apply to earth and the moon?
If it were not for the Earth's pull of gravity the moon would fly away from the Earth. The moon's pull of gravity on the Earth causes the tides.
Why the gravity on earth is greater than that of moon?
Because the earth is bigger. More mass=more gravity
Even though the sun has a greater mass than earth the moon orbits earth because it's what to earth then to the sun?
It is closer
Is the moon more massive than the earth?
No. The earth's mass is equal to about 82 times the moon's mass. (Moon's mass is equal to about 1.2% of the earth's mass.)
Earth's volume is how many times greater than the Moon's?
The volume of the Earth is 50 times greater than the volume of the Moon.
