What else can I help you with?
How far away would Mars have to be in order for it to appear as big as a s the Full Moon?
about 749336 km, which is about 94.9% farther than the moon
How far does the moon have to be or has to move away from Earth for the moon to be released from Earth's gravitational pull?
There's no limit to the distance at which Earth's gravity is effective, and no limit to the distance that two bodies can separate and still move in mutual gravitational orbits.
Stars appear in fixed locations in the sky because they?
Stars appear in fixed locations in the sky because of the Earth's rotation and the position of the stars in relation to our planet. This causes the stars to rise and set at predictable times each day.
How far does the moon move eastward each day?
The moon orbits the Earth 3 1/2 times a day.
How does the little moon cover the giant sun during a eclipse?
If you stretch your arm straight out at shoulder-height, you can cover the giant sun with the end of your little thumb. Nearby objects appear larger than far-away objects. The sun is about 390 times as far away from us as the moon is.
Why does the moon appear to follow you while in a vehicle?
The Moon is so far away that if you move a few meters, or even kilometers, the direction of the Moon won't change appreciably.The Moon is so far away that if you move a few meters, or even kilometers, the direction of the Moon won't change appreciably.The Moon is so far away that if you move a few meters, or even kilometers, the direction of the Moon won't change appreciably.The Moon is so far away that if you move a few meters, or even kilometers, the direction of the Moon won't change appreciably.
Why does it appear like the sun and moon are following you?
because the moon and sun are so far they appear to be moving.
Why do the stars appear so small and why does the moon appear so big?
The stars appear small to us because they are very far away. They are actually much larger than the moon. The moon appears large in the sky because it is Earth's closest neighbor in space.
How far away would Mars have to be in order for it to appear as big as a s the Full Moon?
about 749336 km, which is about 94.9% farther than the moon
How far does the sun appear to move in four hours?
Through an angle of 60 degrees.
What are the names of the mountains on the dark side of the moon?
There is no "dark side of the Moon"; the Moon's day is 28.5 days long, but it has regular cycles of day and night. Perhaps you are referring to the FAR side of the Moon?
Why can you not stand on earth and see the far side of the moon?
The Moon is tidally locked to Earth; the Moon's "day" and the Moon's month are the same length. So the "near side" of the Moon always faces the Earth, and the "far side" always faces away from Earth.
Why do the earth and moon appear the same size?
The Earth and Moon appear the same size in the sky when viewed from Earth because the Moon is about 1/4 the size of Earth and is about 1/4 as far away from Earth as the Earth is from the Moon. This alignment creates the illusion that they have the same apparent size.
What is viewable from moon in the earth?
Very little, the moon is too far away, on a good day you can just about make out the continents.
How far does the moon move away from the Earth in on year?
About 1 second away every 50,000 years
Does the moon ever appear in Orions belt?
No - the moon travels along the same path that the sun and planets travel - the ecliptic. Orion's belt is too far below the ecliptic.
How far would you have to move before the constellations would appear to change shape?
The constellations would not appear to change shape as you move because they are so far away that the relative positions of the stars remain constant from our viewpoint on Earth. This is why we can use constellations for navigation and timekeeping.
