Is the moon small medium or large?
The moon is considered large in comparison to other moons in our solar system, but it is relatively small compared to Earth. It has a diameter of about 3,474 kilometers (2,159 miles).
What is the current theory for the creation of the moon?
Back when the earth was young and relatively molten, a large object about half the size of the current moon, struck the earth and took a large section of the earth with it. The object combined with the pieces of earth that were broken off and began orbiting the earth. Hence, the moon.
What theory is currently accepted as explaining the moon's creation?
The leading theory for the Moon's creation is the Giant Impact Hypothesis. This theory suggests that a Mars-sized object collided with Earth in the early stages of the solar system, resulting in debris that eventually formed the Moon. This hypothesis is supported by similarities between the Moon and Earth's composition and the presence of a large impact basin on the Moon's surface.
Does the moon have a large molten core?
The moon's core is thought to be partially liquid, but not necessarily "large" compared to the moon's overall size. The liquid outer core is believed to be small relative to the size of the moon as a whole.
What is the nearest natural object to the Earth?
The Moon is the nearest natural object to Earth in space.
A large object moving around the sun?
a large planet like Jupiter or the moon
Is the moon the only object that orbits earth?
There are many artificial satellites - thousands of them. The Moon, however, is the only natural object that is large enough to be noticed.
Is the moon small medium or large?
The moon is considered large in comparison to other moons in our solar system, but it is relatively small compared to Earth. It has a diameter of about 3,474 kilometers (2,159 miles).
What is an object that's moves around a large object?
Astronomically speaking, an object that orbits a larger object is a satellite. I.E. the moon is the earth's satellit
Why An object will weigh approximately 6 times HEAVIER on earth than it would on the moon?
Earth is a about 6 times more massive than the moon (Has more density per volume, since it's technically weightless in space) Gravity is proportional to how large a planet or moon is, so the object will be heavier on earth (a larger planet) than on the moon (a small body)
What feature on the moon casts dark shadows?
Any large object, such as a rock or a mountain will cast a shadow on the moon.
What is a large object that circles a star but does not produce any of its own light?
moon
What is the reason that moon light has no heating effect in comparison to sun light?
For the same reason is dark at night with just moonlight. You are only getting only a reflection from a small object as opposed to direct exposure from a large object. However, it is warmer on nights with a full moon. And far more romantic.
What is the current theory for the creation of the moon?

Are there any other moon's on Mars?
Mars is a planet. A moon is a large celestial object that orbits a planet. So no, there are no moons on mars.
How large do we think the planet was that collided with the earth and formed the moon?
It is small
Is the moon too small to have a gravitational pull on another object?
No, the moon's gravitational pull on the earth is the dominate cause of tides in the oceans. When the Apollo moon missions were going on, the moon's gravity both kept the command module in orbit and the lander and astronauts on its surface. Nothing is too small to have a gravitational pull on another object.
