What else can I help you with?
What would the size of the moon be if the earth was the size of a basketball?
If the Earth was the size of a basketball, then the Moon would be about the size of a tennis ball in relative scale. The Moon is about 1/4 the diameter of Earth, so in this scenario, its size would proportionally shrink down as well.
When you cannot see any part of a lit up moon what is it called this is for work so they gave the last letter which is n?
The phase of the moon where no part of it is visible is called a "new moon." This phase occurs when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, making it appear completely dark from our perspective on Earth.
What is the relationship between the moon and the earth in terms of orbit, similar to how the earth is to the sun?
The moon orbits around the Earth in a similar way that the Earth orbits around the sun. The moon's orbit is elliptical, meaning it is not a perfect circle, and it takes about 27.3 days to complete one orbit around the Earth. This orbit creates the phases of the moon that we see from Earth.
When the moon revolves around the earth in a circular orbit kept there by gravitational force exerted by the earth does gravity do positive work?
Well, I would say YES! It keeps the air on the earth so we can all breath, it keeps the earth from just going off into space away from our source of all our energy, the sun. It keeps us from just floating away into space. There are millions of things gravity does that is positive work. I can not even to begin to name them.
What work is done in one complete orbit by the earth on a space station that orbits the earth at 375 km above the earth positive?
The work done by the Earth on the space station is zero since the force of gravity is perpendicular to the motion of the space station. This means that there is no displacement in the direction of the force, and thus no work is done.
Is the moon orbiting the earth an example of work being done?
no........not really:)
Is the moon orbiting around earth a form of work being done?
Answer #1:YES======================Answer #2:No
What is the minimum work that has to be performed to bring a spaceship of mass 2000kg from the surface of the Earth to the Moon?
We would have to know the masses of the Earth and the Moon to figure that out. But I will tell you this: The minimum work done is the energy needed to get the spaceship to the point between the Earth and the Moon where the gravitational influences of the two celestial objects cancel each other. After it passes this point, the spaceship will be pulled towards the Moon by the Moon's gravitational attraction, thus eliminating the need to push the spaceship further.
How does a gibbous moon work?
The shade of the earth on the moon is what causes the gibbous moon.

Does a small planet that orbits earth describe the moon?
No. This description does not quite work becomes the moon is not a planet; it is a moon.
What is the work done by the moon in revolving the earth?
Orbiting bodies are held together by the mutual force of gravitation between them. Without gravity, the moon would go sailing away in a straight line, and would never be seen again. Similarly, the earth would go sailing away from the sun.

How does a solar elipse work?
Solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, and Moon covers the Sun, thus obscuring it's rays, as viewed from the Earth. Actually, total solar eclipses (when the sun is completely obscured by the moon) are rare, but up to 5 partial eclipses of the Sun happen each year.
