How are earth and Mars moons similar?
Both Earth and Mars have moons that are believed to have been formed through the process of accretion around their respective planets. Both Earth's Moon and Mars' moons (Phobos and Deimos) are irregularly shaped and have similar surface compositions, predominantly made up of rock and dust. Additionally, all three moons have surface features like craters and some evidence of past volcanic activity.
What is moons gravity compared to earth?
16.55% as strong on the surface.
Which word describes a change in the moons appearance?
The word you are looking for is "phase," which describes the different shapes the Moon appears to take when observed from Earth. These phases are a result of how sunlight is reflecting off the Moon's surface as it orbits Earth.
How many times can the Moon fit in the Earth?
approximately 6 Moons can fit in the Earth.
Is there a hole in the moon's surface?
Yes, the moon does not have holes like Earth does. However, it does have craters, which are formed by impacts from meteoroids and asteroids. These craters can appear as "holes" on the moon's surface when viewed from a distance.
What features are found on the moons surface?
craters
What are features on the moons surface?
craters
Who observed that Jupiter's moons orbited Jupiter and not the earth?
Galileo
What do surface features and their distribution on the moons surface tell you about its history?
Earth's shadow on the moon proved that earth wasn't flat. When galileo first turned his telescope to the moon, he found a surface scarred by craters and maria. Before that time, many people believed that all planetary bodies were "perfect" without surface features.

What is the percentage of moons that eruptions have been observed?
Two percent========================Answer #2:I doubt it.The number of known 'moons' ... natural satellites of the planets ...in our solar system is currently somewhere around 250. Eruptionshave been observed on, at most, two or three of them.
Do any moons have tectonic plates?
Sort of. Jupiter's moon Europa has linear features on its surface that are likely the result of processes similar to plate tectonics on earth.
What is the earth's moons surface like?
The moons surface is covered with regolith. There are 2 main kinds of surface; maria and highlands. There are lots of craters and dust. the moons sky is always black.it has no air or water
What occurs when the moons shadow falls on the earth surface?
eclipse
