How does gravitational force acting on the planet compare to the gravitational force acting on the moon due to the planet?
The gravitational force acting on the planet is much greater than the gravitational force acting on the moon due to the planet. This is because the planet has a significantly larger mass than the moon, resulting in a stronger gravitational pull on the moon towards the planet.
How can you tell something is a planet and not a moon?
A planet is in direct orbit around a central star, while a moon is in orbit around a large body (a planet) rather than in a direct orbit around a star. The moon orbits the planet, while the planet orbits the sun.
What are considered a double planet?
A double planet describes two bodies of similar size and mass that are in orbit (not necessarily around each other) . The Earth and Moon would not be considered a double planet because of the great size and mass difference between the two. However, Pluto and its moon Charon COULD be classified as a double planet- both have similar sizes and mass, and orbit a point outside of one another.
How does going to the moon affect mass and weight?
The person's weight is 0 kg. and the mass will be some thing but i don't knowThanks.
What determines how much you weigh on any planet or the moon?
There are only 3 variables. Your mass, the mass of the planet or moon that you are on, and the diameter of that planet or moon. You can then mathematically determine your weight in accordance with Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.
How does the mass of a planet affect the speed of a moon that orbits it?
The mass of a planet affects the speed of a moon that orbits it through gravity. The greater the mass of a planet, the stronger the gravitational force it exerts on its moon, causing the moon to orbit at a faster speed to counteract this force. Therefore, a more massive planet typically results in a faster orbiting speed for its moon.
What planets has the largest moon-to-planet mass ratio?
Pluto has the largest moon-to-planet mass ratio with its moon Charon, which is about 12% of Pluto's mass. This makes Charon the largest moon relative to its parent planet.
Which planet is believed to be a double planet system?
When Pluto was still officially considered a "planet" in our solar system, it and it's moon Charon were considered by many to be a double planet system. Whenever a moon constitutes a considerable percentage of the host planet's mass, it may be considered a double planet system. For this reason, some consider the Earth and our moon to be a double planet system. Our system has by far the greatest planet to moon mass ratio; about 6:1. As for planets outside our solar system, I cannot say. Though there are many out there.
What planet has a moon equal to one tenth of the planet's mass?
I don't think there is one.
Which planet is 5.5 percent of Earth and mass and has no moon?
Mercury
How does the sun and the moon affect a high tide?
High tides happen when the moon is overhead, as the gravity pulls the mass of water on earth toward it. Low tides are the opposite, when the moon is below, under your feet, it is pulling the watery mass of the oceans away from your side of the planet. The shape or apparent phase of the moon has absolutely nothing to do with this effect.
How does gravitational force acting on the planet compare to the gravitational force acting on the moon due to the planet?
The gravitational force acting on the planet is much greater than the gravitational force acting on the moon due to the planet. This is because the planet has a significantly larger mass than the moon, resulting in a stronger gravitational pull on the moon towards the planet.
Why is it necessary to know the distance to a planet in order to determine the planet's mass?
There is something missing from the question. The planet must have a moon. The only way to measure the mass of a planet is by using data about a moon orbiting the planet or data about the path of a spacecraft passing or going into orbit around the planet. If you know the distance to a planet then you can work out the moon's distance from the planet. The planet's mass can then be found. It's a bit of trigonometry and Newton's version of Kepler's Third Law. So that's the reason that it is necessary to know the distance to the planet.
How does the moon affect planets?
the moon creats earths tides! It also effects the planet by stabilizing the rotation of earth!
How many is the moon in the planet mercury and what is the name?
Mercury does not have a moon.
How is earths moon different from the Moon's of other planets?
In size and mass it is enormous compared to it's parent planet - The Earth.
Which planet is 5.5 percent of Earth's mass and has no moon?
Mercury
