How do you know the earth is bigger than the moon?
Some scientists believe that the moon was once a chunk of the earth that broke off long ago and became our moon, and if that's true, it isn't possible that the moon would be bigger than the earth.
Why is the moon as small as Australia?
The moon is as small asAustralia because the moon was formed when an object the size of mars smashed into the still molten baby earth (about 3.5 billion years ago). It knocked off a chunk of earth roughly the size of Australia. The chunk of molten earth was sucked into our gravitational field. Due to the theory of relativity and the size of the chunk it developed its own gravity thus making it spherical and the size of Australia.
Why would a chunk of gold weigh more on the moon then earth?
A chunk of gold would weigh the same in both places, as weight depends on the mass of the object and the force of gravity acting on it. However, the gold would appear lighter on the Moon because the Moon has less gravity compared to Earth.
What is the moon called when of it is not lit up?
The moon is called a "new moon" when it is not lit up because it is positioned between the Earth and the sun, with the dark side facing us. During this phase, the moon is not visible from Earth.
Is it true that the moon orbits the earth?
Absolutely true. Proof? The moon moves across the sky at night (and day) dragging the Earth's oceans with it, causing tides.
Is the moon of earth?
An asteroid had hit Earth and knocked of a chunk that is now called the moon.
How did the moon get where it is?
Before life existed on Earth a Mars like object collided with our planet. A big chunk of the Earth floated away from our planet due to the pressure of the collision. And that big chunk is now what we call, the Moon.
Describe the impact-collision therory of the moon's origin?
The theory is that a moon-sized object, crashed into the earth during it's developmental stages, which then ejected a massive chunk of material from the body of the newly formed earth. This large chunk of planetary debris was then caught in the earth's gravitational field and settled into an orbital path around the earth, forming what we call the moon.

Gravity on the moon is less than on the earth True or False?
True. Gravity on the moon is about one-sixth that of Earth's gravity.
Why moon not orbit sun?
because the moon is the result of an asteroid hitting the earth 4 billion years ago. a chunk of the earth came off and started orbiting the earth because it was closer to the earth than the sun
True or false is the point at which the moon is orbiting closest to earth called perigee?
True. Perigee is the point in the moon's orbit when it is closest to Earth.
Is our Moon formed from the Crust of today's Pacific Ocean after some Impact hit that part of Earth?
There is a theory that suggests a comet hit the earth and possible broke off a chunk creating the moon.
