What else can I help you with?
Would people weigh heavier on the moon?
The moon's gravity is 1/6 the force of Earth's gravity, so you would weight 1/6 as much on the moon than on the Earth. For example, if you were 120 kg on Earth, you would be 20 kg on the Moon. (120 / 6 = 20)
Suppose the gravitation between Earth and the sun suddenly stopped What path would Earth follow?
the earth would rotate the moon or the next closest planet
What are the name of Earth's moons?
The Earth has only one moon so the Earth's moon name is Moon, The Moon or it can be the Latin name "Luna".
The moon is a natural what of the earth?
the moon is a natural satellite of the earth
Which form of energy can travel from the earth to the moon?
Reflected sunlight, for sure, travels from the Earth to the Moon. Reflected sunlight from the Moon also travels to Earth. That is why we can see the Moon.
What would happen to the spring in the bathroomscale if you stepped on it on the moon?
If would move a lot less. If you weighed 150 lb on Earth you would only weigh 25 lb on the moon.
How will the Earth rotate without moon?
The Earth's rotation is not dependent on the Moon; without the Moon, the Earth would still rotate. However, the Moon's gravitation gradually slows down Earth's rotation, so without the Moon, it is possible that Earth would now be rotating faster.The Earth's rotation is not dependent on the Moon; without the Moon, the Earth would still rotate.

What if the moon was bigger than earth?
If the moon was bigger than the Earth, than Earth would orbit it and, by our current definitions, it would be a moon.
Why can you only see one side of the moon and never see the dark side?
The reason that no one on earth has ever seen the other side of the moon, is because the moon also rotates on its axis, in exactly the same amount of time that it takes to do one revolution of the earth. Th result of this is that as the moon revolves on its axis and at the same time orbits around the earth it always keeps showing the same face to the earth. (Puting aside the natural disasters that would happen for a moment) if you were to hold the moon in place, rather then have it orbit the earth, the moon would be seen to rotate, and we would see all sides of it.
Is a new moon and a quarter moon the same?
No they are not. The moon is round so a half moon would be half of the moon showing while a quarter moon would 1 out of 4 parts of the moon.
Would you feel heaviest on earth or on moon?
You would feel heaviest on Earth due to its stronger gravitational pull compared to the Moon. The gravitational force on the Moon is about one-sixth that of Earth, which would make you weigh less on the Moon than on Earth.
Why would you classify the moon and the earth as satellites?
Why would you classify the moon and earth as satellites?
How would your weigh be different on the moon than on the earth?
Your wight on the moon would be about one sixth of what it is on Earth.
What is the difference of moon and earth?
The moon is smaller than earth. The moon is on fourth of Earth, and has less gravity. You would weigh about one sixth on the moon than on the Earth.
How would the earth look from the near side of the moon?
From the near side of the moon, Earth would appear about four times larger in the sky compared to how the moon looks from Earth. The Earth would shine brightly and display phases similar to the moon as it orbits the sun. The Earth would appear to rise and set on the lunar horizon in a similar way to how the moon does on Earth.
What moon phase changes the appearance of the moon as seen from earth?
The moon phases that change the appearance of the moon as seen from Earth are caused by the relative positions of the sun, Earth, and moon. The major phases include new moon, first quarter, full moon, and third quarter, with each phase showing a different amount of illuminated surface to Earth.
Diagram showing what phase of moon is during a lunar eclipse?
The moon is always Full at the time of a lunar eclipse.Sun, earth, and moon are in a straight line and in the same plane. The earth is in the middle.The moon is on one side of the earth ... in its shadow ... and the sun is on the other side,about 390 times as far away as the moon.
