Moons and Natural Satellites

There are many theories about this, some say a billion years from now, some say never, some even say the moon will eventually crash into the Earth. Nobody knows for sure, although I think it is safe to say whatever will happen it won't happen any time soon.

I agree

the answer he had was wrong the moon is getting 1 and 1/2 inches away from earth a year so it will be a long time but dont get used to a close moon it will look smaller every year.

if you are wearing a space suit yes

but without one technically it comes out your butt and then it can destroy anything so stay away from puking

Astronauts wear special boots on the moon to provide insulation, support, and protection in the harsh lunar environment. The boots are designed to handle extreme temperatures, prevent dust and debris from entering, and ensure traction on the uneven surface. Additionally, they are built to accommodate the bulky space suits, allowing for mobility while conducting experiments and exploring the lunar surface.

No, Titan does not have a moon of its own. It is one of Saturn's moons and orbits the planet directly.

There are a lot of purposes, but the main purpose was to prove to the world that the United States really did "Come in peace for all mankind". At the time, some people of the world were worried that we might control the earth from space. We had to prove them wrong. We did that by turning the space race into a series of scientific expeditions.

The reason Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin and the other 10 astronauts who walked on the moon left the lunar module was to help scientists back on earth discover the origin of the moon. It was thought that by finding out the moon's origin, it might shed light on how the earth came to be. In order to do that, Armstrong collected rocks while Aldrin set up 3 scientific experiments. After analyzing all the data, the scientists have yet to come up with a conclusive theory for how the moon formed.

For the same reason that the stars are visible from Earth - most of the space in between is completely empty, and air is transparent. You can't see stars (other than the sun) during the day because the sun is bright enough that it illuminates the air enough to overpower them, like a single person whispering in a large cheering crowd. The light reflected off of the moon by the sun is, however, bright enough to be seen during the day, though not as clearly as at night. This has a lot to do with the fact that the moon is only 240,000 miles away, while the nearest star is 3 light-years away. Because it orbits Earth, therefore we can see it. ... Well, that's almost correct, but the real reason we can see the Moon from the Earth is that it (the Moon) reflects sunlight during most of its orbit around the earth. When the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, that period of the Moon's orbit it is essentially 'invisible' since the sun's glare makes the moon impossible to see. We call this period the "New" Moon. If you can picture in your mind the earth revolving around the Sun, and the Moon revolving around the Earth at the same time, you can see how at some point, the Moon is in between Earth and the Sun, and therefor gets 'lost' in the sun's glare.

I think it is the chioken

The twelve men who walked on the lunar surface were:

From Apollo 11: Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin

Apollo 12: Alan Bean, Pete Conrad.

Apollo 14: Alan Shepard, Edgar Mitchell.

Apollo 15: James Irwin, David Scott

Apollo 16: John Young, Charlie Duke

Apollo 17: Harrison Schmitt, Gene Cernan

The acceleration of gravity depends on how far you are
from the center of the object.

If you stand on the surface of each one, then Jupiter is
the strongest, followed by Earth, Mars, and the Moon
being the weakest.

Yes, there is iron on the moon. Iron is one of the most abundant elements on the moon's surface, along with other elements like oxygen, silicon, and magnesium. These elements make up the composition of the moon's rocky terrain.

For all practical purposes, the answer is no. The moon provides the Earth with no significant protection from impacts from meteorites, asteroids or comets.

The Moon isn't nearly the same size as the Earth and occupies a tiny fraction of the perimeter of the planet. It's the atmosphere that protects us from small asteroids; they burn up most of the time before they reach the ground. Some are deflected (bounce off) the atmosphere if they hit at a shallow angle. These can appear as fireballs that cross the sky.

For protection, one needs a much larger body that has enough mass to significantly alter the trajectory of an incoming object. There is some evidence that Jupiter has such an effect on objects entering the solar system, but even then one cannot expect that more than a tiny fraction of incoming comets or other objects might be captured or otherwise redirected. Of course, a redirected comet might, by chance, be directed towards a collision as well as away from one.

The lunar lander, Eagle, was divided into 2 sections. The bottom half, called the Descent Stage contained the fuel for descent and landing on the moon. It also contained most of the water and oxygen used on the moon by the astronauts. The top half, called the Ascent Stage, was the part that lifted off from the moon. The Ascent Stage also doubled as the astronaut's home while on the moon.

After achieving orbit, the commander, who, in the case of Apollo 11, was Neil Armstrong, docked with the Command/Service Module that orbited the Moon while the astronauts walked on the surface. The Apollo 11 CSM was manned by Michael Collins. After transferring all the lunar samples and astronauts into the CSM, the LM was jettisoned. The 3 men continued orbiting the moon for one more day. On the back side of the moon, Michael Collins told the onboard computer where they were in space and how long to fire the Service Module engine. After the 4 minute burn, the astronauts left lunar orbit and were on their way back to earth. The Service Module engine wasn't very big or powerful. It only needed to have enough power to get them out of lunar orbit and into the gravitational pull of the earth. Once under the influence of earth's gravity, they fell back to earth and landed in the Pacific Ocean after 8 days in space.

No. You need an oxygen mask.

Even though there's no point of taking an oxygen mask, because you wouldn't survive either way. Neptune is far too cold for the human body, you'd freeze within minutes. The breathing apparatus would also freeze and choke you. There are also very strong storms on Neptune capable of flinging a fully grown adult into space. Also, there is no solid surface, so if you tried to stand on Neptune you'll fall through it and end up being incinerated by the core.

It is the only large moon in the Solar System with a retrograde orbit, which is an orbit in the opposite direction to its planet's rotation.

A Saturn V rocket blasted them from the earth, and the Apollo spacecraft took them the rest of the journey. This consisted of a command module, where the crew were located, and the service module.

No, the landing was not faked. The moon is only about 235,000 miles from the earth. Although it was an ambitious endeavor for 1969 technology, with little room for error; it was completely within the expectations of those of us who studied physics and (astronomy as a hobby). The Van Allen belt posed no more threat than a few chest x-rays for the short trip through the "hot-spot". The moon's 1/6 earth-gravity combined with no atmospheric pressure, made the dangerous landing a little more predictable. Landing that type of vehicle down through earth's gravity and atmosphere would have been much more difficult. Once the lander was on the moon's surface, the difficult part was done.

Remember - we had to abort the Apollo 13 mission, and narrowly escaped losing the whole crew - live and on TV. Does anyone think we faked that one as well?

Well, living on the moon could be fun be careful. Some people and/or scientists show that an advantage would be that it would be interesting with exploring, but a disadvantage would be you have to mine everything, even the oxygen and water you drink.

Lower gravity, no atmosphere to interfere with astronomy, plenty of helium-3 for power. And solitude.

The planets closer to the sun than we are (Mercury and Venus) show all the same phases that the Moon does. The planets that are farther away don't show all the phases, they are either full or pretty close to full. The reason is that to get a "new" phase, the planet or moon must be between the Earth and the Sun. Mercury and Venus can come between the Earth and the Sun and be in the "new" phase, but the outer planets can't.

As gravity is related to mass, the object with more mass has more gravity. Thus as the Earth is more massive than the moon, it will have more gravity. This is why the moon orbits the Earth, and why the Earth orbits the Sun.

Some fish as people use the lunar cycle to reproduce. If you were in the act of reproduction, would you eat bait? I didnt think so.

Earth's moon (surface area) - 14,645,750 square miles.

Jupiter has at least 67 moons (natural satellites) that have been observed and charted. 50 of these are named and the others provisionally designated.

There are no space probes currently in orbit of the planet. Galileo was crashed there in 2003, and NASA's Juno spacecraft will arrive in 2016.
