What fact does data gathered from the Clementine spacecraft support?
that the moon has a thinner crust on the side facing earth
How is earth's crust different from the moon's crust?
The Moons crust is Thicker.
Chemically the moon is similar to?
Earth's crust
Why is the crust thicker on the near side of the moon than on the far side?
Right now scientists do not know why the Earth-facing side of the moon has thicker crust. One proposal is that Earth may have once had two moons that collided at relatively low speeds. The geologically different regions on the moon would then have originated from two separate moons.
How does the moons gravitational force affect the crust of the earth?
does the moon's gravitational force affect the crust of the earth?
Part of the moon that is thinner on the side facing earth?
The crust of the Moon is thinner on the side facing the Earth because the Moon is tidally locked with the Earth. This means that the Moon rotates at exactly the same rate it revolves around the Earth, so only one side of the Moon ever faces the Earth. Since the gravity of Earth acts on the Moon, the crust has been pulled slightly towards Earth on the side of the Moon facing Earth. Because of this, the crust of the Moon is thinner on one side than the other.
Does the side of the moon facing the earth have a thicker crust than the other side of the moon?
I dont know go ask someone else

Is the crust of the earth thicker than the crust of the moon?
The moon is completely solid, so there is no crust on the moon.
How many times does the moon rotate in the time it takes the moon to orbit the earth once?
Once . The Moon is tidally locked to the Earth, with one face of the moon always facing the Earth, and the other side never facing the Earth .
How is earth's crust different from the moon's crust?
The Moons crust is Thicker.
How does the moon affect the tides on the side of earth facing the moon?
There are high tides on the side of Earth facing the moon.

Earth's crust

What portion of the moon and earth is crust?
I dont know about the moon, but the earth's crust is about 6 to 35 km wide, so less than 1% of the total volume of the earth
