Without the moon, Earth would spin faster. Our day would be shorter. Billions of years ago, Earth spun around on its axis much faster. Our world's cycle of day and night was less than ten hours long. The ebb and flow of the tides are what put the brakes on Earth's spin. The moon and sun together cause the tides. If we'd never had a moon, we'd still have tides, but they wouldn't be as strong. So - if you're imagining Earth with no moon - you have to imagine our day on Earth much shorter than our present-day 24 hours.

Which property of an apple is different on earth than itis on the moon?

The weight of an apple would be different on Earth compared to the Moon due to the difference in gravitational pull. Specifically, the apple would weigh less on the Moon than on Earth because the Moon's gravitational force is about one-sixth that of Earth's.


How is the moon and earth different?

the moon is very smaller than the earth because,if the moon was the size of earth it would be hard for living things to be on earth from the moon being in the way all the time and it would be too cold at night.

the proportion of the earth and the moon would be much different, and the moon would then revolve on its own around the sun.


Would a 5.0kg mass on on Earth and the moon be on Mercury?

A 5.0kg mass would have the same mass on both Earth and the moon. However, on Mercury, due to its different gravitational pull compared to Earth and the moon, the mass would still be 5.0kg, but it would weigh less on Mercury than on Earth or the moon.

Would an object have the same mass density on the moon as it does on earth?

No, the mass density of an object would not be the same on the moon as on Earth. The mass of the object would remain the same, but since the gravitational pull on the moon is weaker than that on Earth, the volume of the object would decrease on the moon, resulting in a different mass density calculation compared to Earth.


WHAT the different between the moon and earth?

Earth can sustain life. The Moon can not.


How is your weight different on the moon than earth?

Your weight would be about 1/6th of your weight on Earth when standing on the Moon due to the lower gravitational pull. This means that if you weigh 180 pounds on Earth, you would weigh about 30 pounds on the Moon.


How is the Moon and Earth different from the Earth?

The moon is much more smaller than the Earth.
