Is the moon the mercury's sister planet?
No, because the Moon is not a planet. However, they are similar in several ways, especially their cratered surfaces.
What planet is the moon most like?
Mercury is the planet that most resembles the Moon in visible surface features and atmosphere. It is a grey planet that has many craters and a thin atmosphere.
Which planet does the moon Ariel orbit?
Ariel is a moon of the planet Uranus.
Is it possible for a moon to orbit a planet so that it is in a continual lunar eclipse and is never exposed to sunlight?
I would say no, but would welcome any thoughts from others on this. The time taken for an object to orbit around another mainly depends on the distance, the further out, the longer it takes. For a moon to be always behind the planet on its way round, its time taken to orbit the planet would have to be a similar length of time that the planet takes to orbit the parent star. So the orbiting moon would have to be as far away from the planet centre as the planets distance to the star centre, meaning that the moon is no longer chiefly affected by the planets gravity.
What planet has an orbit with an eccentricity most similar to the eccentricity of the moons orbit around earth?
The planet with an orbit most similar in eccentricity to the Moon's orbit around Earth is Venus. The eccentricity of the Moon's orbit is about 0.055, while Venus has an eccentricity of approximately 0.007. This means both orbits are relatively circular, but Venus's orbit is even less eccentric than that of the Moon.
How is the planet mercury and your planet similar?
It's similar to our moon.
What planet has a very thin atmosphere similar to the moon?
The planet Mars has a very thin atmosphere, similar to the moon.
Is there any other planet similar to earth in the milky way?
No planets are similar but there is a moon. Titan, one of Jupiter's moons, is very similar to Earth.
If the earth is to the moon what is to the satellite?
The Earth is to the Moon as a planet is to its moon. So, if we're talking about a satellite orbiting a planet, then the planet would be analogous to the Earth, and the satellite would be analogous to the Moon.
Is the moon the mercury's sister planet?
No, because the Moon is not a planet. However, they are similar in several ways, especially their cratered surfaces.
Planet that has a densely cratered surface similar to that of the moon?
Mercury
What other planet has a satellite similar to earths moon?
pluto
Which planet has a cratered surface similar to Earths moon?
The planet Mercury has the most similar cratered surface compared to the moon.
What planet is similar to Luna?
how is mercury like luna!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In what way is Venus' similar to our moon?
Venus has phases like the moon
Is a comet a moon?
No. A comet orbits a star such as the sun. In order to be a moon it must orbit a planet or some similar body.
Triton is a moon of which planet?
Triton is the largest moon of the planet Neptune. It is similar in composition and size to Pluto (even a little larger), so is thought to have been a Kuiper belt object that was 'captured' by Neptune many years ago.Triton is the largest moon of the planet Neptune.Triton orbits Neptune, and is the planet's largest moon.
