Which is greater the moon's pull on earth or earths pull on the moon?
The moon is only strong enough to push and pull the tides in the ocean on earth. The earths pull is so strong it moves the entire moon in circles.
Why is a day on the moon equal to a month on earth?
It really does not, but it is close to a month. The moon always faces the same way to the earth as it goes around the earth. So the Moon day is the same as its orbit around the Earth, Roughly 29 days.
How does the earths rotation affect the way you view the moon?
The earths rotation effects whether it is night or day (so you'll see the moon at night).
Why does the moon look so close to earth?
The moon appears close to Earth because it's our closest celestial neighbor, about 238,855 miles away on average. Its size and distance combined with Earth's gravitational pull make it look relatively close to us in the night sky.
Why the moon orbits around earth not the sun?
The Moon orbits around the Earth because it is under the gravitational influence of Earth. This gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth. The Sun's gravitational force is much stronger, but the Moon's orbit around the Earth is stable due to the balance between these gravitational forces.
What makes moon revolve?
the earths gravity holds the moon so it orbits the earth.
Which is greater the moon's pull on earth or earths pull on the moon?
The moon is only strong enough to push and pull the tides in the ocean on earth. The earths pull is so strong it moves the entire moon in circles.
Why isn't there 2 eclipses every time the moon orbits the earth?
Because the sun, moon and earth are not always in alignment. The moon does not orbit the earth about the earths equator. The earths axis is tilted so the orbit around the sun does not always align with that of the moons orbit around the earth
Why was the moon so close to the earth on 19 march 2011 How does the moon get close to the earth?
It was not especially close; the perigee distance is 363,104 km. The Moon orbits the Earth in an elliptical path, and it comes that close to Earth every month. But the orbital cycle isn't on the same schedule as the phases of the Moon. The Moon happens to be exactly full at the very same time as the Moon reaches perigee only once every 28 years or so.
What are earths satellites and moon name?
Earth's only natural satellite is the moon. We call it The Moon. In Italian, Moon is Luna, so some people call it Luna.
The moon's diameter would fit in the Earth's diameter?
Yes. The moons size is 1/6th of earths so it can fit in the earth.
Why super moon to close the earth?
There was nothing all that special about the "super moon"; the Moon gets that close to Earth EVERY month. The catch is that when the Moon is closest to the Earth - perigee - is rarely precisely at the time of the full moon. That combination of a full moon just at perigee only happens every 28 years or so.
Why are the temperatures on the moon and the earth so different?
Because of a weaker atmosphere, it cannot trap heat like the earths can.
Can the moon stop?
Well no because of the fact that the moon is stuck in the earths orbit and cant get out because it is to small to pull away from the earths orbit but really if you are talking about stop spinning then the answer is still no mostly because of the fact that because it is stuck in the earths orbit it has to stay in rotation just like the earth and also because one of our thoughts is the billions of years ago the earth (Young earth to be truthful) was hit by a small planet as big as the moon and the earth was still hardening so apart of it came of and the moon was made and the friction made by the hit made the moon and the earth start to rotate so does that answer your question? Well the moon move's away from the earth about 3 to 5 inches each year but no the moon will not stop:)
Is the Earth's moon smaller than Pluto?
it has a one fifth mass of earths moon and one third volume of earths moon
What happens when a solar and lunar eclipse occur?
A lunar eclipse is where the Earth comes between the moon and sun, so that light to the moon is blocked out by Earths shadow. A solar eclipse is where the moon comes between the sun and Earth, blocking out sunlight to the Earth.
Why does the moon have a stronger pull on earth than the sun?
Well, I don't think it is, considering we are revolving the SUN not the MOON. :) Although the Moon does have significant effects on the Earth because the Moon is such a large object so close the to Earth.
