EarthThe moonRobots built by humans have landed on Mars, Venus, and Saturn's moon - TitanProbes have been sent to all planets in the solar system as well as several of the gas planets' giant moons, and some comets.
What would happen if the moon's revolution speed was half as fast?
If the moon's revolution speed were half what it is now, it would need to be further away to maintain a stable orbit.the moon would appear smallertides would have a lower magnitudethere would be no more total eclipses of the sun, because the unique size-distance ratios that make a total eclipse of the sun possible would have changed.Since the moon's rotation speed would be different from one revolution around Earth,all sides of the moon would be visible from earththe phases of the moon would be longerThe length of earth's days and nights would not be affected, since that is a function of the earth's rotation in relation to the sun. Unless the moon's rotation also changed, the length of the moon's days and nights would not change either.

What is the calculation for astronomical unit?
An Astronomical Unit (or AU) Is a Unit of Measurement used in astronomy, especially in regard to objects within the Solar System.1AU Is equivalent to the MEAN Distance from the Sun to The earthThe Mean Distance from the Earth to the Sun is around 150,000,000 KmNote that this is only the AVERAGE OR MEAN Distance from the Sun as the Earth does not follow a circular path, it follows an Oval shaped path or Elipse.This means the distance varies from 147 Million Km (Perihelion) to 152 Million Km (Aphelion)
