Comparing the Moon and Earth: Size, Gravity, Weather, and More

This overview explores the key differences between the Moon and Earth, highlighting size, gravity, landforms, and atmospheric conditions. The Moon has a diameter of 12,756 km, while Earth measures 3,474 km. With a gravitational pull of 1.622 m/s² compared to Earth’s 9.78 m/s², the Moon’s gravity is just 16.5% that of Earth. The Moon is devoid of weather, while Earth experiences various weather phenomena. Discover how these celestial bodies influence tides and seasonal cycles, and learn about the small amounts of water found on the Moon versus Earth's abundant oceans.

  2. Size The size of the moon is 12,756 and the size of the earth is 3,474

  3. Landforms and craters • A crater is when a asteroid hits the moon and makes a crater.

  4. Gravity • The gravity on the moon is 1.622 • And the gravity on the earth is 9.78 • That means that the earth has 6 more % then the moon.

  5. Weather and atmosphere • The moon has no weather • But the earth has rain , hail, storms, snow, sleet, blizzards.

  6. water Scientists have found very amount of water on the moon. The earth has 71% of water on it.

  7. Time to rotate on its axis Moon 27 days Earth 24 hours

  8. Time to revolve /orbit once The moon orbits around the earth 29.5 The earth revolves around the sun 365.25 once a year

  9. Effects on other cycles • Tides • Tides are caused by the ries and falls to are oceans. • Seasons • Seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth.
