Which planet has more water than earth?

There is no planet in the solar system which has more water than earth. Europa (a moon of the planet Jupiter) is thought to have a liquid ocean under a mantel of ice, but this moon is no larger than our own moon.


What planet covers the moon?

The Moon circles the Earth, about 400,000 kilometers from Earth. It does not interact with any other planets. Other planets farther from the Sun have 2 or more of their own moons. Mars has 2, Jupiter has 63 known moons, Saturn has at least 62, Uranus 27, and Neptune 13 known moons (as of 2011).


What planets have people have walked on?

Earth is the only planet that people have ever walked on. The only other body away from Earth that people ever walked on is the Moon, and that has not happened in over 40 years. The nearest planet (Venus) is always more than 100 times farther away than the Moon is. Venus is hot enough to melt spacecraft and cook people, so even if it were possible, we would not send people to land on it. The next nearest planet (Mars) is always more than 140 times farther away than the Moon is.


How is the moon classified planet or asteroid?

The moon is a satellite, although people propose now and then that the earth-moon system could be considered a double or binary planetary system. Since the barycenter (the center of gravity of the earth-moon) is within the body of the earth, considering the moon as a satellite makes more sense.


Which planet have more distance from earth?

The planet furthest away from Earth is Pluto, which is 2 and three quarters of a billion miles away from Earth. Light takes approximately 9 hours to reach us from it. It is the smallest planet in our Solar System, being classified as a 'dwarf planet', and very cold, with a surface covered mostly in either ice or frozen gases.

Would an object weigh more on the earth or the moon?

The planet Earth has more gravitation pull than its moon. Therefore the weight on earth is more than that on the moon. The mass though does not change.

Which planet is more of a binary planetary system?

The moon and the planet it orbits that have the highest ratio of their masses are Earth's moon and Earth. The earth is only about 81 times as massive as its moon. In the #2 planet/moon mass ratio among the eight planets, Saturn is 4226 times as massive at Titan.


Which planet has least 1 moon?

The planets Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all have one or more moons.


Does the moon spin like planet Earth?

Yes it does, but much more slowly.


What is The only rocky planet to have more than one moon?

There are four rocky planets, known as terrestrial planets. They are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Only Mars has more than one moon; the planet has two moons.


How much more is gravity on the moon than the earth?

The moon has gravity but the earth has more because living people live in the planet.


If sun is to solar as moon is to orbit lunar planet space?

Please ask only ONE question at a time, do not add more questions in the answer section. The answer to "Sun is to solar as moon is to what?" is "as moon is to lunar."


Is Jupiters moon big as earth?

Jupiter's largest Moon is Ganymede. It is slightly larger than the planet Mercury. As the Earth is more massive than Mercury, the answer is no.

Why An object will weigh approximately 6 times HEAVIER on earth than it would on the moon?

Earth is a about 6 times more massive than the moon (Has more density per volume, since it's technically weightless in space) Gravity is proportional to how large a planet or moon is, so the object will be heavier on earth (a larger planet) than on the moon (a small body)


Is the moon the biggest planet in the world?

A moon is a satellite that orbits a planet. So the Moon (our moon) is not a planet but a moon.It is worth noting that, in our solar system there are bigger moons; but the Moon is the largest moon in proportion to the size of the planet. As a result, it has a more significant gravitational effect upon the Earth than do most moons. Of course, the moon governs the tides; but also it helps to stop rotational irregularities of the Earth from getting out of hand; and so the moon has been a very fortunate and calming influence for our planet.
