Why don't moons have moons?
The moon has plenty of gravity. In accordance with its mass and radius, any object weighs about 16.5% as much on the moon's surface as it does on the Earth's surface.
Are there moons and stars on planet earth?
No, there are not moons or stars ON planet earth, but there are moons and stars around planet earth. == ==
Where is the earth 3 moons?
The Earth only has one natural moon, called the Moon. Earth does not have three moons.
Does the moons orbit around the earth affect the moon phase?
Yes, the moon's orbit around Earth affects the moon phase. As the moon orbits Earth, the angle between the sun, moon, and Earth change, causing different portions of the moon to be illuminated by sunlight, resulting in the different moon phases we observe.
What is the moon phase that occurs after a new moon and only half of the lighted side can be seen?
This is the first quarter phase. The moon looks half lit, half in shadow, but you actually can only see one quarter of the moons surface at this point (during a full moon, you would only be able to see half of the moons surface - the half that faces us).
What are the changes in the moons appearance called?
The changes in the moon's appearance are called lunar phases. They occur because of the moon's position relative to the sun and Earth, resulting in different amounts of the moon's illuminated surface visible from Earth.
How much of the total surface of the Moon is illuminated by the Sun when it is at quarter phase?
The moon's surface is always half illuminated. We on Earth see 0 to 100% illumination of the side that faces use, depending on what phase the moon is at. Quarter phases, first and last, are half illuminated when seen from Earth.
What is the earth's moons surface like?
The moons surface is covered with regolith. There are 2 main kinds of surface; maria and highlands. There are lots of craters and dust. the moons sky is always black.it has no air or water
What is moons gravity compared to earth?
16.55% as strong on the surface.
What occurs when the moons shadow falls on the earth surface?
eclipse
Why the visible moons shape changes?
Only the half of the moon that is illuminated by sunlight will be visible; the other half is dark. Because the relative positions of the Earth, moon, and sun are always changing, the viewer on Earth will see varying amounts of the illuminated half of the moon.
What happens to the energy the moon gains from the sun at night?
Regardless of what time it may be, day or night, at any place on earth . . . -- Part of the solar radiation incident on the moon is absorbed into the illuminated portion of the surface. -- The rest is reflected from the surface, back into space. Actually, a lot like what happens on the earth, when you think about it
Is the moons surface rocky?
yes it has canyons and mountains like earth
Why don't moons have moons?

What is the efffect of rotation of the earth when facing the sun?
The illuminated patch on the earth's surface drifts westward relative to a fixed point on the earth as the earth spins eastward.
How many times can the Moon fit in the Earth?
approximately 6 Moons can fit in the Earth.
Waning moon definition?
A moon that is reducing in the size, of the illuminated surface visible to earth, day by day.
