How is the movement of the earth similar to the movement of the moon?

Answer 1

1. They both have orbits, as they are moving through space. 2. They both have mass and gravity, and that gravitational force affects earth. 3. They are both round or spherical. 4. They are both visible from earth due to original or reflected light.

Answer 2

Both the Earth and the Moon revolve around a common center of mass (barycenter) due to gravitational forces. The Earth rotates on its axis, causing day and night cycles, while the Moon orbits the Earth in a similar manner but at a slower speed. Both bodies also experience gravitational interactions that affect their orbits and tides on Earth.

Answer 3

They aren't. The earth has a molten core, the moon has a solid core. The earth has an atmosphere, the moon doesn't. The earth is comprised mainly of water, the moon is comprised only of rock (with speculation that there might be small frozen deposits of lunar water sitting in craters).

I suppose the only similarities would be shape (sort of), the fact that they orbit around something larger than themselves, they both produce gravity and the fact that they are both a part of the same solar system.

Answer 4

Both are large, dense bodies orbiting the Sun in regular elliptical orbits. The minerals on the Moon contain many of the same elements found in the crust of the Earth, suggesting they may have been part of the same body shortly after the solar system formed. Both rotate and experience regular surface periods of daylight (day and night), and either can experience an eclipse by the other. Both have had water brought to them by collisions with other bodies (on the Moon it is all ice deep in craters). Humans have walked on and studied both bodies, although only 12 humans have so far been to the Moon. Both are regularly observed by satellites.

Answer 5

actually the moon and the earth is not the same the earth is a planet which the moon light and moon gives light and the earth has living things on it but not the moon coz its solid and has no atmosphere

Answer 6

It is thought that the Moon was once part of the Earth itself but formed after a major collision with the Earth ejected tons of material out into space. That material coalesced and became the Moon.

Answer 7

the movement of the earth is similar to the movement of the moon because they both orbit in circles

Answer 8

*There both a sphere

*Both have mass and gravity

*Both have reflected light from the sun

Answer 9

they are both round, you can walk on both and they both are opaque.

Answer 10

they both reflect light from the sun for light
