Why does the moon have more gravitational pull on the Earths oceans than the moon if the sun is so massive?
It is because the moon is much closer to the earth. Gravitational pull decreases in proportion to the square of the distance.
What causes the moon to appear differently over the course of a month?
The angle between the moon, the Earth, and the sun changes over a month, and since we only see the side of the moon that is reflecting the sun's light, it seems that the moon appears differently.
What is bigger earths moon or Mars?
I think Mars is bigger than Earths moon.
What is he distance from the sun to earths moon in astronomical units?
The distance from the Sun to the Earth is one AU. The Moon orbits the Earth and sometimes is closer and sometimes further away from the Sun, so on average, it is also 1 AU from the Sun.
Why does the Earths orbit?
Moon and earth distance
How far is the earths moon from mercury?
Varying from the the distance from the Earth to the Moon + the distance from the sun to the earth + the distance from mercury to the sun, to the distance from the earth to the sun - the distance from mercury to the sun - the distance from the earth to the moon
Distance from earth to moon in scientific notation?
The moon's average distance from earth during the course of one complete orbital revolution (a month) is 384,401,000meters (rounded).
What is the distance from earths to the moon?
The distance actually depends on the orbit of the Earth and Moon, with 221,665 miles at the shortest point and 252,525 miles at the farthest point.
Is the moon in the earths atmosphere?
no the moon is orbiting around the earth at a safe distance
How large is the moon and how far is it from the Earth?
The volume of the moon is 2.1958×1010km3 ( 0.020 Earths), the surface area is3.793×107km2(0.074 Earths), the mass is7.3477×1022kg(0.0123 Earths) and theequatorialcircumference is10,921 km. The moon is an average distance of384,400 km (238,900mi) from Earth.
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 happens when the moon is hidden by earths shadow?
When the moon is hidden by Earths shadow it's just on the other side of Earth. Making it night for the other side of the planet. Also or when it is hidden it just is called the New Moon. This part of moon changing happens every month.

How long does it take the reflected ray of light from the full moon to get to earths surface?
1.28 seconds at the moon's average distance from earth ... same as for a radio signal.
What does the earths moon mean?
the earths moon helps sustsian the gravity on the earths oceancs keeping them in balance
Is the gravitational force of earth and moon the same?
No, essentially mass = gravity the earths mass is roughly 81 * that of the moon, if you stood at the same distance from both, the force on you from the earth would be 81 * that of the moon.
