How many people have flied to mars?

None. The moon is the furtherest from earth any living being has been.


Where would an astronaut weigh the most the moon or earth?

An astronaut would weigh more on Earth than on the moon due to the stronger gravitational pull of Earth. The gravitational force on the moon is about one-sixth that of Earth, so objects weigh less on the moon than on Earth.


If standing on the surface of the moon might see which one what an eclipse of the moon or eclipse of the earth or the moon or an eclipse of the sun or eclipse of the earth or the sun?

If you were standing on the Moon, it would be easy to notice a solar eclipse; the Earth would block out the Sun, all over the Moon, for an hour or so. On the Earth, we would have called it a lunar eclipse. From the Moon, it would be difficult to notice an Earth eclipse; the shadow of the Moon on the Earth, so obvious when you're in the dark at midday, wouldn't be so obvious from 250K miles away; a small dark circle on the Earth.


How would your wheight on Earth change if you were on the moon?

The weight of a human on the Earth is unaffected by the Moon's gravity, because the Moon is so far away. Even if the Moon were much closer, the effect on people would be insignificant.If the Moon were VERY close - a few thousand miles, perhaps, the direct effect of the Moon's gravity on people would still be trivial, but the effect of the Moon's gravity on the Earth would probably be devastating. We might expect every earthquake fault in the world to let loose, and the tides would be high enough to swamp coastal cities. (With New Orleans being below sea level anyway, we could say goodbye to the Big Easy.)The reason that the effect of Moon's gravity would be tiny even with the Moon at 3000 miles is that the force of gravity decreases with the square of the distance. The Moon is only just over 1,000 miles in radius. If the Moon were 3000 miles away from Earth, then people would be 4,000 miles from the center of the Moon - 4 times further than they would be ON the Moon. 4 times further away means that the force of gravity would be 1/16th of normal, and the Moon's gravity is already very low compared to Earth; about 1/6th Earth-normal. So the gravitational effect on a human of the Moon being 3,000 miles away would be about one one-hundredth of the Earth's gravitational force.As I said - an insignificant difference.


Would a 5.0kg mass on on Earth and the moon be on Mercury?

A 5.0kg mass would have the same mass on both Earth and the moon. However, on Mercury, due to its different gravitational pull compared to Earth and the moon, the mass would still be 5.0kg, but it would weigh less on Mercury than on Earth or the moon.

How much more is gravity on the moon than the earth?

The moon has gravity but the earth has more because living people live in the planet.


What phase of moon would people see from earth?

full moon


How is the moon and earth different?

the moon is very smaller than the earth because,if the moon was the size of earth it would be hard for living things to be on earth from the moon being in the way all the time and it would be too cold at night.


What planet or moon would people on earth consider to be the star of the night?

Does earth always keep the same side towards the moon?

No. If it did, then some people on earth would always see the moon in the sky, andsome other people on earth would never see the moon in their sky. Instead, everybodyon earth sees the moon rise and set, meaning that different parts of the earth are turningto face it.


'When a full moon occurs if there were people on the moon would they see a 'full' Earth'?

Not necessarily. Think about it... if you can see a full moon in the middle of the night, then someone on the moon would be able to see your part of the earth.... which would be in darkness.


People living on the moon?

there are no people living on the moon because there is no atmosphere and if there is no atmosphere there is no oxygen so they can not breath so there 4 there is no life on the moon
