What else can I help you with?
Is the moon tiny?
The Moon is tiny cause you're in the Earth covered by the Atmosphere. If you ride an spaceship or craft and look closer or even step it its some what like Earth but smaller and less water.
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.
Which planet has only one tiny moon?
Earth
Why are there craters on the moon and not on the earth?
Because meteoroids hit the moon and when meteoroids come towards Earth our atmosphere burns it away into tiny pieces of rock.
When the shadow of the earth falls on the moon you experience a?
New moon. No, no, no. It is an eclipse of the moon. ( A new moon is when the illuminated face of the moon faces away from the earth, and as it moves around in its orbit you catch a glimpse of a tiny arc of its illuminated surface).
How do you describe the main differences and similarities between moon rocks and earth rocks?
Moon rocks are unique in that they have tiny craters, and even tinier craters within those tiny craters. And within those tiny craters within the tiny craters are even tinier craters. This is due to micrometers which do not reach the earth's surface. It's also a result of large meteors splattering small pieces of moon regolith as secondary meteors. None of this is possible on earth. The similarity between moon rocks and earth rocks is that they are basically feldspars and basalt, the same thing that makes up the earth's crust.
Why is the moon said to be accelerating?
I believe the reason is because the moon gets a tiny bit closer to the earth ever year.
What is the definition of a moon could the earth ever have more than one moon?
The Earth has only one moon. Early in the planet's history, it is likely that it had many moons. IN fact, back in the 1890's, an astronomer claimed to have discovered a new, tiny moon of the Earth. But he was wrong.
Why do eclipses take place rarely?
An eclipse is when the Earth passes between the moon and sun (lunar eclipse) or when the moon passes between the Earth and sun (solar eclipse). They take part rarely because of the tiny probability of the moon and Earth aligning as such.
How does the Moon's rotation physically affect the Earth?
The moon's rotation has no affect on the earth because the moon always faces its "near" side toward the earth. In the far distant past, the effect of the earth's presence slowed the moon's rotation until the present state was reached. The moon likewise slows the earth's rotation, but only by a tiny bit each century because the moon is so much smaller than the earth.
The moon causes a solar eclipse on earth when it is in?
The Moon causes a solar eclipse when the Moon's orbit goes in between the Sun and the Earth, causing the shadow of the Moon to fall on the Earth.This happens about twice a year, but the Moon's shadow is so small that it only affects a tiny area of the Earth, and a different path across the Earth each time.
What three forces cause tides?
It is mainly gravitational forces from the Sun and Moon that cause tides, but the rotation of the earth has a tiny effect on it.
