How far is Jupiter from the Moon?
Earth and Jupiter orbit the sun at different distances and speeds so the distance from Earth to Jupiter itself varies a lot. On average, the distance of any moon of Jupiter to the Earth is the distance from Earth to Jupiter.
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.
What is the average distance from europa to earth?
Europa is one of Jupiter's moons, so the average distance should be the same as for the planet of Jupiter, in which case there is already an answer on this site: How_far_from_Earth_is_Jupiter
How far away from the earth is the moon compares to the sun?
The Sun is about 400 times further away from the Earth than the Moon is.
What is the distance when the moons gravity becomes 0 or earths gravity takes over?
The gravity never goes to exactly zero. Off in the most distant galaxy we can see, the gravitational force of the Moon (or the Earth, or for that matter you) is not zero. It's immeasurably small, but it's not zero. However, there is a point directly between the Earth and the Moon where the gravity of the two exactly balance each other. At less than this distance from the Moon, the net force is towards the Moon; at more than this distance, the net force is towards the Earth. It is located where the mass of the Earth divided by the distance to Earth squared is equal to the mass of the Moon divided by the distance to the Moon squared. The exact distance of this point from the center of the Moon varies since the distance between the Earth and the Moon is not constant, but it's roughly 10% of the center-to-center distance between the Earth and the Moon.
What is the distance of jupiters moons in astronomical units?
Answer: you would have to be specific there are a lot of moons orbitting Jupiter Answer: The distance from Earth to Jupiter's moons is the same as the distance from Earth to Jupiter. The distance from Jupiter to its moons is insignificant, and can be ignored.
Why is the moons distance from the earth continually changing?
elliptical orbit with earth at one focus.
Can super moons cause earthquakes?
So called Super Moons are when the moon is closer to the Earth than usual. There is no correlation between the distance of the Earth to the Moon and earthquakes.
Why does the distance between the earth and moon change?
It varies, since the moons orbit around earth is not perfectly circular and central.
How close does the moon get to the sun?
The moons distance from Earth varies during its orbit, but is around 363,100 km or 225,620 miles at its closest (Perigee). Although this seems quite far, its only a small distance when compared to the Earth sun distance, which is 147,098,290km or 91,402,600 miles at its closest. So the moons closest distance to the sun will be around 146,735,200km.
How moons are in earth?
There are no moons in Earth. But around Earth, yes. There is one.
Are there moons and stars on planet earth?
No, there are not moons or stars ON planet earth, but there are moons and stars around planet earth. == ==
How far is Jupiter from the Moon?
Earth and Jupiter orbit the sun at different distances and speeds so the distance from Earth to Jupiter itself varies a lot. On average, the distance of any moon of Jupiter to the Earth is the distance from Earth to Jupiter.
Which astronomical body is located closest to Earth?
Our only moon, which is called `The Moon`. Our moons average distance from the Earth is 384,399 km (238,854 miles).
How far away is the moon on the average?
Our moons average distance from the Earth is 384,399 km (238,854 miles) on average.
How far is Saturn's moon from Saturn?
The distance from Saturn to the moon of Earth is similar to the distance from Saturn to the Earth. This is about 746 million miles, or 1.2 billion kilometers.
What moons are close to Venus?
There are no moons around Venus or Mercury. So the closest moon to Venus is the Moon orbiting the Earth, which is not really any closer than Earth is. (Venus is always at least 100 times farther away from Earth than the distance of the Moon.)
