Moons and Natural Satellites

Natural Satellites, also know as moons, are natural celestial bodies revolving around a bigger object like a planet or a dwarf planet. Some famous natural satellites are our Moon (Luna), Ganymede, Europa and Titan.

601 Questions

Why don't terrestrial planets have rocky moons?

Terrestrial planets are formed close to their parent star where volatile materials are scarce, so their moons are typically composed of ice and rock. The rocky moons tend to form in the outer regions of the planetary system where there is more availability of rocky material.

Can astronauts visit the moon when it is not a full moon?

Yes, astronauts can visit the moon at any phase of the lunar cycle. The visibility of the moon's surface features may vary depending on the phase, but this does not prevent astronauts from landing or exploring the moon.

When will the satilight fall?

Satellites in orbit typically don't fall directly to the ground. If a satellite is no longer functioning or in use, it may gradually descend from its orbit and re-enter Earth's atmosphere, where it will burn up upon re-entry. The exact timing of this process varies depending on the satellite's altitude and orbit.

Can you do splitscreen in transformers dark of the moon the game?

Unfortunately, no, you can not play split screen on tdotm. I myself have it for ps3. you may have it for xbox or some other system that might allow you to but I doubt it. If there is a way I sure don't know it but I am 99.999999999% sure that you can't.

Is the moon a constellation?

No. A constellation is an arrangement of stars. The moon is a natural satellite of Earth.

How many months are there in two moons?

It depends on the specific moon's orbital period. For example, Earth's moon has a lunar cycle of approximately 29.5 days, so in two "moons" (two lunar cycles) there would be around 59 days, which is roughly 2 months.

Why can you not access lunar truth?

Maybe there is a problem with your pc. I just read the information in lunar truth. About the Apollo 18 movie, the lunar truth website does not have evidence to come with the facts presented in that movie.

How long does it take a astronaut to travel around the earth?

It depends on the given orbit, but most astronauts would be on near earth orbit vehicles like the International Space Station (ISS). This orbits the earth once every 91 minutes.

Can one play yo-yo on the moon?

Yes, though the acceleration due to gravity will be much less so the yo-yo is likely to be much harder to control (possibly necessitating an increase in its mass and/or angular momentum ratios).

Which is bigger ganymede or titan?

Ganymede is bigger than Titan. Ganymede is the largest moon in the solar system and is even bigger than the planet Mercury. Titan is the largest moon of Saturn and is the second largest moon in the solar system.

Who is the Vietnamese man fly to the moon?

Phạm Tuân is the first Vietnamese person to travel to space, not the moon. He was a pilot and cosmonaut who flew to space as part of the Soviet Interkosmos program in 1980. No Vietnamese person has traveled to the moon yet.

Can you ride your bike on the moon?

Yes, but you would probably need a bike designed specifically for the moon. They had lunar rovers during the Apollo missions, so making a 2 wheeled human powered version should be feasible. But you would face some engineering problems:

1. Space suits tend to be bulky. You would need one that lets you ride the bike.

2. There's no trails or roads on the moon. You need something like a mountain bike that can handle rough terrain.

3. Moon rocks are SHARP because unlike on Earth, there's no wind, water, etc. to cause erosion. So you would need puncture resistant tires.

4. Normal bike pumps are useless on the moon. You would need one that has its own air supply -- or special tires that don't need air.

Does Earth also causes tides on the Moon?

Yes, Earth does cause tides on the Moon. The gravitational pull of Earth causes the Moon's surface to bulge and create tides, although they are not as pronounced as the tides on Earth due to the Moon's composition and lack of large bodies of water.

Can you give me a story about living in the moon?

Inhabitants of the moon resided in domed structures that replicated Earth's ecosystems. They utilized advanced technology to harness energy from the sun and mined resources from underground tunnels. Despite the challenges of living in a harsh environment, the lunar community thrived through cooperation and innovation.

What do a moon eclipse mean in a dream?

A lunar eclipse in a dream may symbolize hidden emotions or desires coming to light, a sense of transformation or change, and a need for introspection and self-reflection. It could also suggest a temporary period of confusion or uncertainty in your waking life.

Does Mercury have 0 moon?

Yes, Mercury has zero moons. It is one of the two planets in our solar system (the other being Venus) that do not have any natural satellites orbiting around it.

Name festivals related to moon?

In India there are many festivals related to the moon.

eg:- some hindu festivals are Shivratri{day before new moon};holi,budhha purnima, guru purnima, {all on full moon};diwali{on new moon}

Others are janmashtami,rath yatra.

All muslim festivals depend on the moon.In calendars 'Id' is mentioned that it is subject to appearance of the moon.

Can a moon orbit the sun?

No. If an object orbits the sun it is not considered a moon. Depending on its size, composition, and location it may be considered a planet, dwarf planet, asteroid, or comet.

Why did the flag flap on the moon in the moon lading?

The flag did not flap. Ever heard of inertia? If you planted the flag on the moon, there would be residual energy same as on Earth, the difference being that as The Moon has no atmosphere it would take a lot longer for any residual energy to dissipate. So the force used to plant the Flag , would wobble up the Pole giving the appearance of wind , when in fact its just kinetic energy being released.

What do you need to bring on a trip to moon?

-- air

-- water

-- food

-- warm clothing

-- shielding from radiation

-- something to read

-- a radio for communication

-- a means of returning to Earth

-- trinkets and mementos to sell later

Pretty much anything someone needs to live on

earth and things needed to survive in space.

How many things orbit the sun?

There are eight official planets that orbit the sun in our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Additionally, there are dwarf planets, asteroids, comets, and other celestial bodies that also orbit the sun.
