What is the ratio of earth?

The answer depends on what characteristics being compared and the comparator. Possible examples:mass of earth to mass of sun (or a planet, or moon)radius of earth to radius of sun (or a planet, or moon)volume of earth to volume of sun (or a planet, or moon)mass of earth to its volumeperiod of rotation to period of revolutionorbital period to the average distance from the sunalbedo of earth to albedo of a planet, or moonThere are many other possibilities. Unfortunately, you have not specified any and so it is not possible to provide a more useful answer.


What is the distance between earth and heaven?

The same as between the Moon and the Earth. The distance from the clouds to the surface of the Earth is insignificant, compared to the Moon-Earth distance.The same as between the Moon and the Earth.

Does earth's moon have a hydrosphere?

Yes, earth's moon has a hydrosphere.


What is the reason for moon's circular motion around the earth?

Earth exerts a pull on the moon, which keeps it orbiting the Earth. Since the Earth is so big compared to the moon, it pulls the moon toward it. In a sense, the moon is falling towards the Earth, but since the moon is also moving forwards, it ends up going around and around the Earth.

The ratio of the radius of that of the moon is 10 .The ratio of g on the earth and on the moon is 6 then what is the ratio of the escape velocity from earth's surface to that from the moon's surface?

The escape velocity is given by √2gR Hence it's value Ve on the earth and Vm on the moon is Ve = √2ge.Re Vm = √2gm.Rm Therefore , their ratio = Ve/Vm = √ge.Re/√gm.Rm = √6 x 10 = √60 = 8 nearly


Which planet is more of a binary planetary system?

The moon and the planet it orbits that have the highest ratio of their masses are Earth's moon and Earth. The earth is only about 81 times as massive as its moon. In the #2 planet/moon mass ratio among the eight planets, Saturn is 4226 times as massive at Titan.


What is the ratio of natural frequency on earth to moon?

The ratio of natural frequency of earth to moon can be given by the under-root of their value og 'g' as the formula for natural frequency can be write as "under root of g/delta"...


The mean raduis of the earth is 6.3710 to the power of 6mand that of the moon is 1.7410 to the power of 8cmfrom these data calculate a the ratio of the earth's surface are to that of the moon?

The ratio of the surface areas is (earth's radius/moon's radius)^2 where the radii are in the same units.This gives the answer as 13.40, approx.And, incidentally, the word is radius, not raduis!


The diameter of the moon is approximately one fourth of the diameter of the earth find the ratio of their surface areas?

Since the scale factor of the moon to the earth is 1:4, then the ratio of their areas will be the scale factor squared or 1:16. The ratio of their volumes will be the scale factor cubed or 1:64.


Which ocean on earth has the same volume as the moon?

The ratio of the earth's volume to that of the moon is right close to 50. In other words, the moon is 1/50th of the volume of the earth. Please refer to the link below.


The ratio of the diameter of the Moon to the diameter of the Earth is 0.25 Is the ratio for the Charon-Pluto system larger or smaller than this?

Larger; Charon is about half as big as Pluto.


Which planet has a moon bigger than itself?

Formerly than answer was Pluto, whose moon Charon is just over half its diameter. Now that Pluto is technically not a planet, than answer is Earth, whose moon is just over a quarter its diameter.


What is the mass of an object on earth that will weigh the same amount as if you were on the moon?

The Greeks about 400 BCE first determined the distance to the moon, sort of. They did this by noting the ratio of the time it took earth's shadow to cross the lunar surface to the length of time of the lunar orbit. The ratio was about 60 to 1, indicating the moon was 60 earth diameters away. The earth's diameter is about 8000 miles, so the lunar distance is roughly 240,000 miles. What the Greeks did NOT know was what the earth's diameter was, so they really didn't know, at least for about 200 years, how far away the moon REALLY was. Finally, about 250 BCE, Eratosthenes determined the diameter of the earth, and the last bit of information fell into place.
