No, they cannot. Only a little over 50% of the moon's surface can be observed from earth, and observations must be made over a period of about 15 years in order to observe the maximum amount of surface.

Why would you use telescopes to see planets?

Telescopes allow us to see planets in greater detail, revealing their features such as surface markings, moons, and rings. They also help astronomers study planetary atmospheres, temperatures, and compositions, providing valuable information about these celestial bodies. Telescopes enable us to observe planets from great distances and gather data that may not be possible with the naked eye.


Is Io one of mars moons?

No. Io is one of the four major moons of Jupiter. The moons of Mars are Phobos and Deimos.


What are 5 things that all moons have in common?

All moons are natural satellites that orbit around a planet, they lack an atmosphere, they reflect light from the sun, they have varying surface features such as craters and mountains, and they affect tidal patterns on their parent planet.


What important property of a planet do you learn by studying its moons?

By studying a planet's moons, you can learn about the planet's composition, mass, and possibly its history. The moons' orbits and sizes provide clues about the planet's gravitational pull and overall structure, while their surface features and composition can give insights into the planet's geology and environment.


How do rocks or comets are cause to crash into moons surface?

Rocks or comets can crash into a moon's surface due to gravitational interactions with other objects in space, such as planets or larger moons, which can alter their trajectory. Additionally, factors such as the moon's gravitational pull and its lack of atmosphere to burn up incoming objects contribute to these collisions. Over time, these impacts can create craters and other surface features on the moon.

Are there photos of Jupiter's moons?

Yes, there are numerous photos of Jupiter's moons taken by spacecraft like Voyager, Galileo, and Juno. These images provide valuable insights into the characteristics and features of the moons, such as Io's volcanic activity, Europa's icy surface, Ganymede's complex terrain, and Callisto's ancient cratered surface.


What are the moons surface features and interior?

everyone nose that the moon is made out of cheese, but what most people don't know is there are nachos deep in the core


Why has the number of known moons changed?

It has changed because we have better telescopes and rocket probes to find them.


What planet has two moons and hot rocky surface?

MarsYou have listed three features of the planet; rocky surface, hot temperature, and 2 moons. While Mars is a terrestrial planet (has a rocky surface) and has 2 moons (Phobos and Deimos), you're wrong on the last feature, in which you have written that Mars has hot temperature conditions. This is wrong, because the temperature on Mars is usually well below zero.


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.


How are the moons seen from the surface of Jupiter?

You would not be able to see the moons from the surface; Jupiter's atmosphere is too thick.
