What else can I help you with?
Is the earth moon less dense than mercury?
Yes, the Earth's moon is less dense than Mercury. Mercury is one of the densest planets in the solar system, with a density about 5.4 times that of water, whereas the Moon has a density about 3.3 times that of water.
How many times more massive is the Earth than the moon?
The Earth has 81 times the mass of the Moon, but is only 49.3 times larger by volume. This demonstrates the relatively less dense nature of the Moon compared to Earth, because it does not have the same large, dense iron core.
Does the moon have the same density than the earth?
no it is about 1/6 the density of the earth
Why do astronauts weigh less on the Moon than on the Earth?
Astronauts weigh less on the Moon than on Earth because the Moon has less mass and gravity than Earth. The gravitational force on the Moon is about 1/6th that of Earth, so objects (including astronauts) weigh less on the Moon due to this weaker gravity.
Why is a persons weight different on earth than on the moon?
The gravity is less on the Moon, because the Moon is smaller than earth; it has less mass, and therefore "sucks" less than the earth. Weight is gravity times mass, you have the same mass on Earth and on the Moon (and in space), but weigh less on the moon.
Are the Moon and the Earth both rocky and dense?
Both are rocky. Both are dense, but Earth is far more dense than the moon is.
Is the earth moon less dense than mercury?
Yes, the Earth's moon is less dense than Mercury. Mercury is one of the densest planets in the solar system, with a density about 5.4 times that of water, whereas the Moon has a density about 3.3 times that of water.
Is the earth less dense or more dense than water?
Earth is more dense.
How many times more massive is the Earth than the moon?
The Earth has 81 times the mass of the Moon, but is only 49.3 times larger by volume. This demonstrates the relatively less dense nature of the Moon compared to Earth, because it does not have the same large, dense iron core.
How much bigger is moon than earth?
The Moon is in fact much smaller than the Earth. The Earth is about 12750 kilometers (7930 miles) in diameter; the Moon is only 3470 kilometers (2160 miles). The Moon is also less dense than the Earth; consequently its mass is only 1/81 that of the Earth.
Does the moon have the same density than the earth?
no it is about 1/6 the density of the earth
Why is the gravity on the moon less than on the earth?
because the moon has less mass then earth
Why do thing weigh less on the moon?
The moon has weaker gravity than Earth does.
Why do astronauts weigh less on the Moon than on the Earth?
Astronauts weigh less on the Moon than on Earth because the Moon has less mass and gravity than Earth. The gravitational force on the Moon is about 1/6th that of Earth, so objects (including astronauts) weigh less on the Moon due to this weaker gravity.
Why is there less or no gravity on the moon then there is on earth?
There is gravity on the moon. It is about on sixth what it is on Earth. This is because the moon has less mass than Earth does.
Why is a persons weight different on earth than on the moon?
The gravity is less on the Moon, because the Moon is smaller than earth; it has less mass, and therefore "sucks" less than the earth. Weight is gravity times mass, you have the same mass on Earth and on the Moon (and in space), but weigh less on the moon.
How dense is the continental crust?
less dense than the material of the Earth's mantle
