The parent planet of a moon is the planet that the moon orbits around. For example, the parent planet of Earth's moon is Earth itself. Moons are natural satellites that orbit planets due to gravitational forces, with the parent planet being the primary celestial body that the moon is gravitationally bound to.
What else can I help you with?
Which planet has a moon the same size of itself?
Pluto would be the best answer, but Pluto is only a dwarf planet. Also its largest moon, Charon, is still not as big as Pluto itself.
Which planet does the moon Ariel orbit?
Ariel is a moon of the planet Uranus.
What plaNet is Triton on?
Triton is a moon of the planet Jupiter.
Which moon is large as the planet?
None in our solar system. The Earth's Moon is the largest moon with respect to its planet.
What is the population of Planet Moon Studios?
The population of Planet Moon Studios is 48.
What planets has the largest moon-to-planet mass ratio?
Pluto has the largest moon-to-planet mass ratio with its moon Charon, which is about 12% of Pluto's mass. This makes Charon the largest moon relative to its parent planet.
How is earths moon different from the Moon's of other planets?
In size and mass it is enormous compared to it's parent planet - The Earth.
How can a planet leave the galaxy yet not lose its satellite?
Although rogue planet might escape a solar system or galaxy, its moon may remain since the moon is held in orbit by the planet, rather than a parent star. The moon will tend to go where the planet goes.
What is the Farthest point of the moon to its planet?
The farthest point in an orbit from the parent object is called apoapsis.
Which planet has a moon the same size of itself?
Pluto would be the best answer, but Pluto is only a dwarf planet. Also its largest moon, Charon, is still not as big as Pluto itself.
Can a moon have a moon and furthermore can that Moon's moon have a moon and so on?
asteroids with moons, a parent planet's strong gravitational tug would make it difficult for a moon to retain control of its own natural satellite
How long is a day on the moon Io?
A day on Jupiter's moon Io is 1.769, 137, 786 days. Io is in a synchronous orbit, which means that a moon's orbit around its parent planet is the same as one of the moon's day.
Which satellite is proportional to its planet?
There aren't really ANY satellites that are "proportional" to the planet. Satellites range in size from very tiny to almost-planet-sized. The only really surprising moon is Earth's Moon, which is far larger, compared to the planet, than any other that we know of. However, if we include dwarf planets, then Charon a moon of Pluto is actually the largest compared to it's "parent" planet.
How does the phenomenon of a tidal locked moon affect its rotation and revolution around its parent planet?
When a moon is tidally locked to its parent planet, it means that one side of the moon always faces the planet while the other side remains hidden. This phenomenon affects the moon's rotation by causing it to rotate on its axis at the same rate that it orbits the planet. As a result, the moon's rotation and revolution are synchronized, with one side always facing the planet and the other side always facing away.
What is the pattern of motion of a moon?
The pattern of motion of a moon is typically an elliptical orbit around its parent planet. This orbit is usually in the same direction as the planet's rotation and at a relatively constant distance. The moon also rotates on its own axis, which may or may not be synchronized with its orbit.
What planet is closer to the moon?
Earth is the closest planet the moon, as it is our planet's moon and orbits Earth.
A natural object that orbits a planet?
moon Actually, anything that orbits a planet is called a satellite. Natural examples are moons, but man-made ones are things like the telescopes sent up from earth.
