Mercury
The closest planet to the Moon is Earth. The Moon is Earth's natural satellite and is closest to our planet in terms of distance.
The Earth is to the Moon as a planet is to its moon. So, if we're talking about a satellite orbiting a planet, then the planet would be analogous to the Earth, and the satellite would be analogous to the Moon.
The moon with the specific name 'The Moon' orbits planet Earth.
No. The mass of the moon is a fraction of the earth's mass.
Mercury
1 earth mass = 81.78 moon mass (rounded)1 moon mass = 0.01223 earth mass = 1.223% of earth mass (rounded)The mass of the moon is only 1.2 percent of the mass of Earth.
The closest planet to the Moon is Earth. The Moon is Earth's natural satellite and is closest to our planet in terms of distance.
The moon and the planet it orbits that have the highest ratio of their masses are Earth's moon and Earth. The earth is only about 81 times as massive as its moon. In the #2 planet/moon mass ratio among the eight planets, Saturn is 4226 times as massive at Titan.
Earth is the closest planet the moon, as it is our planet's moon and orbits Earth.
Earth is the closest planet to the moon and Venus follows as the second closest planet to the moon
The moon's mass is 7.35 x 1022 kg, about 1.2 percent of Earth's mass. Put another way, Earth weighs 81 times more than the moon. The moon's density is 3.34 grams per cubic centimeter (3.34 g/cm3). That is about 60 percent of Earth's density.
The answer depends on what characteristics being compared and the comparator. Possible examples:mass of earth to mass of sun (or a planet, or moon)radius of earth to radius of sun (or a planet, or moon)volume of earth to volume of sun (or a planet, or moon)mass of earth to its volumeperiod of rotation to period of revolutionorbital period to the average distance from the sunalbedo of earth to albedo of a planet, or moonThere are many other possibilities. Unfortunately, you have not specified any and so it is not possible to provide a more useful answer.
The Earth is to the Moon as a planet is to its moon. So, if we're talking about a satellite orbiting a planet, then the planet would be analogous to the Earth, and the satellite would be analogous to the Moon.
The planet Earth has more gravitation pull than its moon. Therefore the weight on earth is more than that on the moon. The mass though does not change.
In size and mass it is enormous compared to it's parent planet - The Earth.
