How does the size of the Sun, Earth, and Moon compare to each other?
The Sun is much larger than both the Earth and the Moon. The Earth is smaller than the Sun but larger than the Moon. The Moon is the smallest of the three.
How would the mass of an object change if it were on the moon?
The mass of an object would remain the same on the moon as it is on Earth. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, so it does not change with location. However, the weight of the object would be less on the moon due to the moon's lower gravity compared to Earth.
Why doesn't the moon have gravity?
The moon does have gravity, but its gravity is weaker than Earth's because the moon is smaller and less massive. Gravity is a force that pulls objects towards each other, and the strength of gravity depends on the mass of the objects.
What has more mass a 10n object on the moon or a 10n object on earth?
The 10N object has the same mass whether on the moon or on Earth. Mass is an intrinsic property of an object that does not change with location. However, the weight of the object would be lower on the moon due to the moon's weaker gravity compared to Earth.
Why does an elephant weigh more on the earth than on the moon?
An elephant weighs more on Earth than on the moon because Earth has a greater gravitational pull than the moon. Weight is the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, so the stronger the gravity, the greater the weight of the object.
How are the size and mass of the moon different from that of Earth?
The moon is smaller than the Earth so that would mean the size is smaller and the mass is also smaller because the mass depends on the size of the object so the moon would have less mass than Earth.
Is the Moon smaller than Earth the same size as Earth or larger than Earth?
The Moon is considerably smaller than the Earth. Its volume is about 2% of the Earth's. Its mass is only about 1.2% of the Earth's. Its surface gravity is about 1/6 that of the Earth.
Is the moon smaller than the earth bigger than the earth or same size as the earth?
The moon is smaller than the Earth. Its diameter is just over one quarter that of Earths, but its total mass is only around 1.23% of Earths mass.
Which has a greater mass than earth the sun or moon?
The sun has a much greater mass than Earth, while the Moon has a smaller mass than Earth. The mass of the Sun is about 330,000 times greater than the mass of Earth, while the mass of the Moon is about 1/81st of Earth's mass.
Why is a persons weight different on earth than on the moon?
The gravity is less on the Moon, because the Moon is smaller than earth; it has less mass, and therefore "sucks" less than the earth. Weight is gravity times mass, you have the same mass on Earth and on the Moon (and in space), but weigh less on the moon.
Explain why the force of gravity is weaker on the Moon than it is on the Earth?
The force of gravity is weaker on the Moon than on Earth because the Moon has less mass and a smaller radius than Earth. The gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, so the smaller mass and radius of the Moon result in a weaker gravitational pull.
Why is the gravitational force on moon less than that of that of earth?
The gravitational force on the Moon is less than that on Earth because the Moon has less mass than Earth. Gravity is directly proportional to mass, so the smaller mass of the Moon results in a weaker gravitational force.
Is the mass of the moon greater than the mass of the earth?
No. The mass of the moon is a fraction of the earth's mass.
Why doesnt the moon have as much gravity on it as the earth?
Gravity is determined by the mass of an object. An object with twice the mass will have twice the gravitational pull. Since the moon is much smaller (has a lot less mass) than earth, the gravity on the moon is less than on earth.
Does the earth and the moon have the same amount of mass?
No, they do not have the same mass. The moon has much less mass than Earth.
If there is no gravity on the moon why can an astronaut jump up and down as seen in the space shots?
There is gravity on the moon. There is less gravity on the moon than there is on earth, because the moon is smaller than earth. Because the Earth has the mass it has, it has the gravity it has. Because the moon has a lot less mass than the Earth its gravity is about 1/6 the amount of the Earth's gravity.
How are the size and mass of the moon different from that of the earth?
The diameter of the Moon is 3,474 km and the diameter of the Earth is 12,742 km. This makes the Moon approximately 27% the size of the Earth. The mass of the Moon is 7.347 x 1022 kg and the mass of the Earth is 5.97x 1024 kg. The mass of the Moon is only 1.2% of the mass of the Earth.
