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

Did they go on the moon or not?

We're not sure who you're asking about ... who "they" is. Between 1969 and 1972,

twelve (12) astronauts in NASA's Apollo program were launched from Cape Kennedy

in six missions, were carried to the moon, descended to the moon's surface, left their

landing craft and walked on the surface, then launched from the moon and returned

safely to Earth. According to marks on some hardware that the first pair left on the

moon, they "... came in peace for all mankind."

If you're asking about anybody else besides these 12, the answer is probably 'no'.

Does the moon Mimas have an atmosphere?

Mimas has no atmosphere. It does not have enough mass to hold on to one.

How long is nighttime on the moon?

a fraction of a second ... but usually a single day (or night) it's close enough.

But it looks full for about 3 days

technically, a full moon represents the instant that the moons shadow completely disappears because of it's alignment with the earth and the sun. This is known as a lunar phase. On average, humans can not determine the exact moment this lunar phase occurs without the aid of a telescope. Therefore, the full moon appears to remain full for a period of 36 hours - 18 hours before this lunar phase and 18 hours after - to the naked eye.

Would humans be able to live unprotected on the surface of Titan?

No, humans would not be able to live unprotected on the surface of Titan. Titans atmosphere is mostly nitrogen with trace amounts of methane and would be toxic to humans to breathe. Additionally, the surface temperature is around -290°F (-179°C), which is far too cold for human survival.

Which moon is callisto?

Callisto is one of the four largest moons of Jupiter. It is known for its heavily cratered surface and its icy composition. Callisto is considered to be one of the most heavily cratered bodies in the solar system.

Is IO hotter or colder than Earth?

Io is hotter than Earth due to its proximity to Jupiter, which causes tidal heating from gravitational forces. This leads to volcanic activity and a thin atmosphere, creating a harsh environment with surface temperatures reaching up to 1,800 Kelvin (1,500 degrees Celsius). In comparison, Earth has a more stable climate with an average surface temperature of around 288 Kelvin (15 degrees Celsius).

Which planet has a lot of moons?

All four of the outer gas giant planets have a lot of moons, particulary Jupiter and Saturn. This is due to their larges sizes/masses which have captured many moons. Jupiter has 63 named moons, while Saturn has 60.

What oplo say when he stepped on the moon?

Neil Armstrong said, "That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind". The missing 'a' in his statement was located on the recording of the transmission during research in 2006.

Are there aliens on the back side of the Moon?

If they were aliens on the back of the moon, which there shouldn't be, they would have to be able to live without and atmosphere, sub zero temperatures, and no food or water source. Dont forget, the back side of the moon is also the front side of the moon due to the moons rotation. so if they had a permanent settlement, it would be visible during that daytime. To sum up, no.

How thick is Ganymede's atmosphere?

Ganymede has a extremely thin atmosphere mainly composed of oxygen however is extremely tenous so there it's almost no air

How do you know the moon is round?

We know the moon is round because of the way its surface appears when observed from Earth. Through telescopes and spacecraft, we can see that its shape is consistent with a sphere, curved in all directions. Additionally, the way shadows move across its surface during different phases further supports its roundness.

Is there a station on the moon?

Currently, there is no permanent station or manned base on the moon. However, there are plans by various space agencies and organizations to establish a lunar base in the future for scientific research and as a stepping stone for manned missions to Mars.

What is the wehter in moon?

The Moon has an extreme climate with temperatures ranging from -280°F during the lunar night to 260°F during the lunar day. There is no atmosphere on the Moon, so there is no weather like we experience on Earth.

How is the moon alive?

There is water, which can be turned into oxygen, which can then be pressurized enough to stay indoors. Hydroponic vegetables can be grown indoors. Natural caverns can be used for radiation protection.

Energy can be derived using solar panels and heavy-water reactors.

So not impossible.

Why are micrometeorites dangerous on the moon?

Micrometeorites on the moon are dangerous because they can travel at high speeds and have the potential to damage equipment, spacecraft, or even harm astronauts. Due to the lack of atmosphere on the moon, there is nothing to slow down or burn up these small particles, increasing the risk of impact.

Did Lottie Moon get married?

No, Lottie Moon, a prominent missionary to China in the 19th century, never got married. She dedicated her life to serving others and spreading the Christian faith.

What are some results of the Moon's thin atmosphere?

Our moons lack of atmosphere means that it is a vacuum at the surface, it's like being in space. The lack of atmosphere means that meteors are able to hit the moon without being burnt up by frictional forces. The lack of atmosphere also means that there is no weather, wind or rain.

How do you know that the moon is solid and not gas?

The moon is primarily composed of solid rock and metal, with a small core made of metal. This composition has been determined through various methods, such as analyzing the moon's mass, gravity, seismic activity, and the composition of lunar rocks returned by astronauts. The lack of a significant atmosphere on the moon also indicates that it is not made of gas.

What is the period of revolution for the moon Charon?

there isn't a correct answer, but i suggest you take a look at NASA s website have a look at Moons, there should be a fact file on the moon Charon.

Another viewpoint: I think there is a correct answer. Charon's period of revolution (around Pluto) is about 6.387 Earth days.

Why did Early people had ideas about sun stars or moon on their rituals or customs?

Early people observed the sun, stars, and moon in their daily lives, so these celestial bodies became integral to their rituals and customs as symbols of power, natural cycles, and spiritual connection. They believed that these celestial bodies had influence over their lives and held symbolic significance in various cultural practices and belief systems.

How many moons does Saturn and Jupiter?

At this moment Jupiter has 63 moons and moonlets

Saturn has 60

What is A huge ball of stars called?

A huge ball of stars is called a galaxy. It is a system of stars, stellar remnants, interstellar gas, dust, dark matter, and other astronomical objects bound together by gravity. Examples include the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy.
