The moon's crust composition is similar to the Earth's, but the moon's mantle contains a higher amount of iron. While the moon's crust is composed of 43 percent oxygen, 20 percent silicon, 19 percent magnesium, 10 percent iron, and trace amounts of other elements. The Earth's crust is made up of 46.6 percent oxygen, 27.7 percent silicon, 8.1 percent aluminum, 5.1 percent of iron, 2.1 percent magnesium, and other elements.

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.


If the earth is to the moon what is to the satellite?

The Earth is to the Moon as a planet is to its moon. So, if we're talking about a satellite orbiting a planet, then the planet would be analogous to the Earth, and the satellite would be analogous to the Moon.


Why does the Earth appears almost as small from the Moon as the Moon does from the Earth?

I dont think so; Earth would appear to be bigger from moon compared to what Moon appears to be from Earth The earth's diameter is 3.67 times the moon's diameter. As seen from the moon, the earth appears 3.67 times as large in the sky as the moon appears from earth.


How does the way moon moves around earth compare to the way earth moves around the sun?

They are both satellites to an object which means that they are similar. The moon revolves around the earth, while it is also orbiting around the sun. There is really no difference, but the moon is a satellite that revolves around an object that is turning, and the earth is an object that only turns around the sun.

How is a new moon and a lunar eclipse similar?

A new moon occurs when the moon is between the Earth and the sun, so it is not visible from Earth. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth comes between the sun and the moon, causing the Earth's shadow to be cast on the moon, making it appear dark. Both events involve the alignment of the Earth, moon, and sun in a specific way that affects the visibility of the moon from Earth.
