Which moon is the largest in diameter?
Callisto
What is the formula for finding the circumferance of a circle?
Either pi times the diameter or pi times twice the radius (which is the diameter)
How do you find diameter of a cylinder?
the width of the cylinder
Diameter 12mm convert to inches?
The diameter of a circle represent the distance across it when divided in half. 1 millimeter equals .04 inches (rounded to one significant figure). Therefore 12 mm equals .05 inches.
Is the formula diameter equals 2 x r correct?
Yes it is, where r is the radius
How many moons can fit across the sun?
The Sun has about 400 times the diameter of the Moon.The Sun has about 400 times the diameter of the Moon.The Sun has about 400 times the diameter of the Moon.The Sun has about 400 times the diameter of the Moon.
What are the sizes of the moon and the sun?
Moon diameter: 14 158 mi sun diameter:864400 mi
How big is the Sun in comparison to the moon and earth?
The diameter of the sun is about 109 times the diameter of the earth,and about 400 times the diameter of the moon.
What is the relative size and distance relationships among the sun earth and moon?
The earth's diameter is 3.67 times the moon's, and 0.0092 of the sun's diameter. The distance to the sun is 391 times the distance to the moon. The moon's diameter is 0.283 of the earth's, and 0.0025 of the sun's. The distance to the earth is 0.0026 times the distance to the sun. The sun's diameter is 109 times the earth's, and 400 times the moon's diameter. On the average over a month, the earth and moon are at equal distances from the sun.
Is the diameter of the sun greater than the diameter of the moon orbiting earth?
Yes. The sun is 1.3 million kilometers across. The moon is never more than a third of that distance from earth and the diameter of its orbit is just over half the sun's diameter. ========================================== The question is not exactly clear. You might be referring to "the moon which orbits Earth", or you could be referring to "the moon's orbit around the Earth". -- The moon's diameter is 3,475 km. The sun's is about 400 times as large. -- The diameter of the moon's orbit is 768,800 km. The sun's diameter is about 80% larger. If the Earth were at the center of the sun, the moon's orbit would be completely inside the sun, about 55% of the way to the surface.
Is the angular diameter of the moon is smaller than that of the sun?
The Sun is about 416 times larger than the Moon. You could place about 71,991,296 Moons inside the Sun. The Sun has a diameter of 1.392×106 km The Moon has a diameter of 3,474.2 km
Is the sun is bigger than a moon?
The sun's diameter is about 400 times as big as our moon's diameter, 108 times as big as the Earth's, and about 10 times the diameter of the biggest planet (Jupiter).
How many times is the diameter of the moon smaller than than the diameter of the sun?
The diameter of the Moon is 0.273 times the diameter of the Earth.The diameter of the Sun is 109 times the diameter of the Earth. So:109/0.273=399.27The diameter of the Moon is almost 400 times smaller than the diameter of the Sun.Pwnt, idk u tell me?
Is the earth moon and sun all spheres?
The Sun, Earth and the Moon are all oblate spheroids. Meaning their equatorial diameter is greater than their polar diameter.
What is bigger the diameter of the sun or the distance between earth and moon?
The diameter of the Sun is 1.392×109 mThe distance between the Earth and the Moon is 3.844 *108 mThe Sun is therefore bigger.
Which member of the solar system has an equatorial diameter of 3.48 103 kilometers?
Earth's Moon ;)The question doesn't really make sense.
How many time is the sun larger than the moon?
In terms of diameter, the Sun is 400 times the Moon's diameter. It is also 400 times as far away and this means that the disk of the moon and the sun appear the same size when viewed from earth.
