How big is the moon compared to other planets?

Answer 1

Jupiter's rings are very difficult to see, unlike Saturn's. This is due to fact that they are made of dust, not ice.There are 3 rings:

• The innermost, cloud-like ring is called the Halo Ring.
• The next one out is the Main Ring.
• The nearly transparent Gossamer Ring. This ring has two parts, the Amalthea Gossamer Ring (closer to Jupiter) and the Thebe Gossamer Ring.

Jupiter's diameter is approximately 143,000 kilometers (86,000 miles). The ring system begins about 92,000 kilometers (55,000 miles) from Jupiter's center and extends to about 250,000 kilometers (150,000 miles) from the planet.

Answer 3

Most of the "exoplanets" that have been studied are much larger than Earth (like Jupiter). This is because the larger planets are easier to detect. A few smaller planets have been detected. I would guess that planets of all sizes are orbiting many stars.

Answer 4

Jupiter's main ring system is formed by dust kicked up as interplanetary meteoroids smash into the giant planet's four small inner moons Almathea, Thebe, Adrastea and Metis. The ring system begins about 92,000 kilometers (55,000 miles) from Jupiter's center and extends to about 250,000 kilometers (150,000 miles) from the planet. NASA's Voyager 2 detected an uneven dust ring around Jupiter in 1979. One Voyager image seemed to indicate a third, faint outer ring. The Galileo spacecraft found a flattened main ring and an inner, cloud-like ring, called the halo, both composed of small, dark particles, and a third ring known as the Gossamer Ring. The third ring is actually two very thin rings made up of debris from Amalthea and Thebe. Unlike Saturn's rings, there are no signs of ice in Jupiter's rings

Answer 5

The Moon is much smaller than the majority of planets in our solar system. It is the fifth largest natural satellite in the solar system, with a diameter of about 3,474 kilometers. For comparison, Earth's diameter is about 12,742 kilometers, making the Moon significantly smaller than Earth and other planets like Jupiter and Saturn.

Answer 6

you might think that they shpuld be as big as satrns but really they are only a couple of kilometers wide.

Answer 7

They are as big as the worlds largest gumball hollowed out and filled with rubber bands.
