Which has greater surface temperature moon or earth?

Answer 1

The earth's mass is roughly 80 times the moon's mass.

So if both bodies were placed near a third body much larger and much more

massive than either of them, the earth would "weigh" roughly 80 times the

moon's weight.

Answer 2

The moon has a greater variation in surface temperature, ranging from extremely hot during the day to very cold at night, due to its lack of atmosphere to retain heat. In contrast, Earth maintains a relatively constant surface temperature due to the greenhouse effect, where the atmosphere traps heat.

Answer 3

The moon's surface is littered with countless craters of varying sizes. There is no moisture on the lunar surface. The moon is covered with a very thin (about 1/2" thick) later of regolith, which is basically just lunar dust. The regolith is what makes the moon shine so brightly at night. The dust sticks to everything that touches it. Lunar dust is not like dust on earth. It look like a very fine powder.

Answer 4

The Earth's surface is 75% covered with water, and the planet has an atmosphere. It also has more physical features sich as mountains and rivers.

The Moon has no liquid water and has no atmosphere. It only has about two inches of dust and a lot of craters which vary in size.

Answer 5

The mass of the earth is about 80 times as much as the mass of the moon.

to be more precise the moons mass, worked out by measuring its density and atmosphere level, is 7.36 x 10 to the power of 22 kilograms or 73600000000000000000000 kilograms.

this means that the mass of the earth is about 5.9742 x 10 to the power of 24 or 5974200000000000000000000 kilograms.

Answer 6

The moon spins faster each day due to physics and the laws of gravity.

Answer 7

when it is "day" on the moon it's about 150 C there and when it's night it's about -150 C. so it depends on the time of the day.

Answer 8

The Earth has about 80 times as much mass as the Moon has.

Answer 9

• Earth: 5.9736 × 1024 kg
• Moon: 7.3477 × 1022 kg

So the Moon is 0.0123 the mass of the Earth

Answer 10

Gravity on the lunar surface is 1/6 that of at earth's surface. So about 0.17 pounds.
