In rough rounded figures . . .
-- The moon's diameter is 27.3% the size of the Earth's diameter.
-- That makes the moon's surface area 7.5% the size of Earth's surface area.
-- And it makes the moon's volume 2% the size of the Earth's volume.
-- The moon's mass is 1.23% the size of the Earth's mass.
(When we notice that the moon has 2% of Earth's volume but only 1.23% its mass,
we realize immediately that the moon's average density is only 60% of the Earth's
average density.)
What else can I help you with?
Is the moon a third of earth?
No. The moon is the same size as the earth. We just see it the way we so because of the distance between them.
Why do the earth and moon appear the same size?
The Earth and Moon appear the same size in the sky when viewed from Earth because the Moon is about 1/4 the size of Earth and is about 1/4 as far away from Earth as the Earth is from the Moon. This alignment creates the illusion that they have the same apparent size.
How does the size of the moon compare to the size of the moon?
The size of the Earth is significantly larger than the size of the Moon. Earth has a diameter of about 12,742 kilometers, while the Moon's diameter is about 3,474 kilometers, making Earth roughly 3.7 times larger than the Moon.
Are there mountains on the moon as big as the earth?
No, the mountains on the Moon are not as big as those on Earth. The tallest mountain on the Moon, Mons Huygens, is about 5,249 meters tall, whereas Mount Everest on Earth is over 8,848 meters tall. This difference is mainly due to the smaller size and lower gravity of the Moon compared to Earth.
Where is gravity greater earth or on moon?
Gravity is greater on Earth than on the Moon. Earth's gravitational force is about 9.81 meters per second squared, while the Moon's gravity is only about 1.62 meters per second squared. This difference is primarily due to Earth's larger mass and size compared to the Moon. As a result, objects weigh significantly less on the Moon than they do on Earth.
What is four difference between earth and moon?
The Earth is bigger in size. The Earth is a planet. The Moon has no plants. The Moon has less gravity.
What is the Difference between moon and earths size?
earth is bigger than the moon
The atmosphere difference of the earth and the moon?
Earth has it, moon doesn't.
What is the difference between the Earth's atmosphere and the Moon's atmosphere?
The difference is that the earth has one and the moon doesn't.
Is mercury or the moon closer to earth's size?
Mercury is larger than the moon and so is closer in size to Earth than the moon is. It should be noted that Mercury is closer in size to the moon than it is to Earth.
How is different the movement of the earth and the movement of the moon?
The difference is simply size and composition. Also, it takes the Earth 24 hours to make one spin on it axis and the moon 29.5 days
How are the size and mass of the moon different for that of the earth?
Size: The Moon has about 1/4 of the diameter of Earth. Mass: The Moon has about 1/81 of the mass of Earth.
Is the moon a third of earth?
No. The moon is the same size as the earth. We just see it the way we so because of the distance between them.

The size of the Earth is significantly larger than the size of the Moon. Earth has a diameter of about 12,742 kilometers, while the Moon's diameter is about 3,474 kilometers, making Earth roughly 3.7 times larger than the Moon.
How big is the earth to the moon?
The moon is about 1/4th the size of the Earth.
How much size is the moon from the earth?
Moon = 1/4 of Earth
