Why does the earth always remains in about the same position in the lunar sky?
The Moon rotates once per orbit, and has the same side of the Moon always facing the Earth. So looking at the Earth from the Moon, it's always in pretty much the same place.Because the Moon rotates at a constant speed but follows an elliptical orbit, there is a little variation; over the course of several months, the Earth would appear to "wobble" a little in the lunar "sky", and would appear to get somewhat smaller and larger as the Moon recedes from the Earth and then gets closer.
The Moon's average density is about the same as the density of which of the Earth's layers?
The moon's average density is about the same as the density of mantle of the Earth.
Why do we only see one side of the moon during a full moon?
The same side of the moon (for all practical purposes) is facing the earth all the time, not just during full moons. This is because the moon is tidally locked with earth. The moon's orbital period and its rotational period are the same. The more massive hemisphere of the moon is always facing the earth. There is a slight variation called lunation. Lunation happens because the moon's rotational period is constant, while its orbital velocity around the earth is not constant. Because the moon's orbit is elliptical, as are virtually all orbits, the moon is passing over the earth at a variable velocity depending on its distance from the earth. As a result, the rotational movement of the moon seems to be either ahead of the moon's orbital location, or lagging behind it. Lunation is an apparent movement of the moon, and not a real movement. There is also a north-south lunation caused by the changing altitude of the moon relative to the equatorial plane.
Do all earth hemispheres see the same side of the moon?
As long as you're on Earth, you will always see the same side of the moon. This is because the moon is tidally locked with the earth, meaning is rotational period is the same as its revolutionary period. This allows us to always see the same side of the moon, no matter where on earth we are.
What is true about the moon's orbit around Earth?
The moon's orbital period is the same as its rotational period, so the same side of the moon always faces the earth.
Is universal gravitation is constant on moon as on earth?
Yes, the universal gravitational constant is believed to be the same across the whole of the universe.
Is iron mass on the moon same as earth?
Mass is a constant everywhere in the universe. The weight on the moon is about one sixth of the weight on the earth, because the mass of the moon is about one sixth of the mass of the earth reducing the force of gravity.
What happens to weight on the moon?
Nothing happens to the weight of an object on the moon. It remains constant, at about 16% of what the same object weighs when it's on the Earth.
What is the value of gravitational constant in the surface of moon?
The gravitational constant "G" is the same everywhere. The force of gravity on the moon, expressed as the acceleration of a falling body is 1.62 metres/sec2. compared with 9.81 m/s2 on the earth.
How will weight and mass be affected while on the moon and on earth?
The mass will be the same on the moon, as well as on earth. But more weight will be gained on earth than moon because there is more gravitational force on earth than on moon. Mass stays the same because the amount of matter in the object will not change simply by going to the moon.
Why does the earth always remains in about the same position in the lunar sky?

Does the moon have one side in constant daylight and one side in constant darkness?
No, the moon always has the same side facing toward the earth, and the changing angle of sunlight on the moons face creates the waxing and waning effect we see on the moons surface. The far side of the moon, the side we cannot see from the earth is sometimes eroneously refered to as th dark side of the moon. It is only "dark" in the sense that we cannot see it from here.
Has the moon always been the same distance from Earth?
No it has not, because the gravitational pull has not always been the same. It is closer to Earth than it ever has been before.
Are the earth and its moon the same shape?
no the earth is bigger than the moon
Why is your mass the same on Earth and the moon?
Your mass is the same on Earth and the moon because mass is a measure of the amount of matter in your body, and it remains constant regardless of the gravitational pull. However, your weight would be different on the moon due to the moon's weaker gravity compared to Earth's gravity.
The Moon's average density is about the same as the density of which of the Earth's layers?
The moon's average density is about the same as the density of mantle of the Earth.
Why do all places on Earth have the same moon phases on the same day?
All places have the same moon phase because the moon takes 27 days to revolve around the Earth and the Earth takes 24 hours to rotate. The speed of rotation is faster than the moon's revolution making the moon appear unmoving and all parts of Earth having the same moon phase.
