We have sent astronauts to the Moon to collect samples from the surface and examine here on Earth. Some of the samples are on display at various museums.

Planets are as yet too far away to send astronauts. Instead, we have observed the light scattered by their atmospheres, which through spectral analysis allows us to find out what chemicals are present in their atmospheres. We do the same type of analysis with unknown materials here on Earth.

Recently, we have been able to send probes on paths that fly by various planets that have gathered photographic and radiation data and sent the information back to us by radio. We have also managed to land a robot (Spirit) on the surface of Mars and have performed remote analysis of the surface material in that way. This is the first time we have been able to examine the surface of another planet in this way.

What effect does the moon have on other planets?

The moon's effect on other planets is minimal compared to its influence on Earth. The moon's gravity can cause slight motions in the planets, but these effects are typically very small due to the planets' larger size and distance from the moon. Overall, the moon primarily affects Earth's tides and to a lesser extent, the movement of celestial bodies within our solar system.


Is the moon the same size as moons of the other terrestrial planets?

No, the moon is relatively larger compared to the moons of other terrestrial planets. It is the fifth largest moon in the solar system, with a diameter about one-quarter that of Earth. Other terrestrial planets, such as Mars and Mercury, have smaller moons in comparison.
