If a rock was brought from earth to the moon what statement is true?
The weight of the rock would be less on the moon compared to Earth due to the moon's weaker gravity, but the mass of the rock would remain the same.
Why is Earth's gravity six times greater than the gravity on the moon?
The force of gravity is determined by the mass of two objects. Earth's is used as the standard. So on Earth your weight is the same as your mass. Other planets have a different mass than the Earth, so the attraction - or gravity as we call it - differs as well. The mass of the Moon creates a pull only 1/6 as strong as the Earth. Mass can be more or densely packed together such as a gas or solid rock. The density of the material also affects the force of gravity at the surface. The force of gravity diminishes with distance. So, floating on a gas giant that has the same mass as the Earth, you would feel less gravity.
What is the ratio of earth to the moon?
The earth/moon radius ratio is about 3.67/1 and the mass ratio is about 80/1.
How does the Moon's iron-rich core compare to that of the Earths?
The Moon's iron core is smaller and less dense than Earth's, making up about 2-4% of its total mass compared to Earth's core which makes up about 30% of its mass. The Moon's core is also believed to be solid, while Earth's core is primarily liquid.
What force pulls the moon and earth toward each other?
gravity
Is the mass of the moon greater than the mass of the earth?
No. The mass of the moon is a fraction of the earth's mass.
What is the mass of Moon's?
The mass of the Moon is 7.3477 × 1022 kg.AdditionallyIn comparison to Earth, mass of moon = 0.0123 Earths. The Moon's mass is 1/81 of Earth's.
What is the moon's mass compared to the earth's mass?
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.
Does the earth and the moon have the same amount of mass?
No, they do not have the same mass. The moon has much less mass than Earth.
What are the 3 factors of weight?
The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.
Is the moon more massive than the earth?
No. The earth's mass is equal to about 82 times the moon's mass. (Moon's mass is equal to about 1.2% of the earth's mass.)
What percentage of moon mass is earths mass?
Earth's moon is roughly 1.2% the mass of earth.
What is the mass of the Moon compared to the mass of the Earth in fractions?
The mass of the moon is about 1/80 that of Earth.
Which weighs more the moon or Pluto?
In terms of mass - not weight - the Moon has more mass than Pluto.The Moon has a mass of 7.3477 x 1022 kgPluto has a mass of 1.305 × 1022 kg or about 0.178 that of the Moon
Why are you NOT weightless on the moon?
Because the Moon has mass, a LOT of mass. If something has mass, it will have gravitational attraction. The more mass, the greater the attraction. The moon has ~1/6th the gravity as the Earth.
Which moon has the largest mass?
The moon that is described as having the largest mass is Ganymede. This is one of the moons of Jupiter. Its mass is about 2.02 times that of Earth's moon.
How are the size and mass of the moon different for that of the earth?
Size: The Moon has about 1/4 of the diameter of Earth. Mass: The Moon has about 1/81 of the mass of Earth.
