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.


Does earth's moon have a hydrosphere?

No, Earth's moon does not have a hydrosphere. There is no evidence of liquid water on the moon's surface.


What do you call the moon when the whole disc is visible from earth?

The term for the moon when the whole disc is visible from Earth is "full moon." During a full moon, the sun, Earth, and moon are aligned in a way that the illuminated side of the moon is facing the Earth.


What causes a new moon?

A new moon occurs when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, with the side of the moon illuminated by the Sun facing away from Earth. This alignment causes the side of the moon we see from Earth to be in shadow, making it appear as if there is no visible moon in the night sky.


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.

What is the approximate ratio of what objects weigh on the Moon and what they weigh on the Earth?

Earth=1, Moon=1/6. Or, Moon=1, Earth=6


What is the correct ratio for the size of the Sun the Earth and the Moon?

The size ratio of the Sun, Earth, and Moon is approximately 109:1:0.273. This means that the Sun is about 109 times the diameter of the Earth, and the Earth is about 3.7 times the diameter of the Moon.


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?

The ratio of the diameter of Pluto to the diameter of its moon Charon is about 1:1, making it larger than the ratio of the diameter of the Moon to Earth, which is 0.25:1. This means Charon is relatively much larger compared to Pluto than the Moon is to Earth.


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 the natural frequency on Earth to the Moon is approximately 3.7:1. This means that vibrations or oscillations on Earth occur about 3.7 times faster than on the Moon due to differences in gravity and mass between the two celestial bodies.


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?

The ratio of the surface areas of two similar objects is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding linear dimensions. Since the diameter of the moon is one fourth of the diameter of the Earth, the ratio of their diameters is 1:4. Therefore, the ratio of their surface areas is (1/4)^2 = 1/16. This means that the surface area of the moon is 1/16th of the surface area of 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). Since Rmoon = 0.1REarth, and gMoon = 0.16gEarth, the ratio of escape velocities can be found as: √(2gEarthREarth) / √(2gMoonRMoon) = √((2gEarthREarth) / (2gMoonRMoon)) = √((gEarthREarth) / (gMoonRMoon)) = √((gEarth / gMoon) * (REarth / RMoon)) = √((6 * 1) / (0.16 * 0.1)) = √(6.25) = 2.5. So, the ratio of escape velocity from Earth's surface to that from the Moon's surface is 2.5.


How much smaller is the moon compared to Earth?

Well, friend, the Moon is actually quite tiny compared to the Earth. If you can imagine Earth as a big beach ball, then the Moon would be like a much smaller grape sitting next to it. But remember, every piece of the universe, no matter its size, has its own unique beauty and plays a special role in the grand story of our cosmos. Bless this little grape of a Moon, happy and content in its celestial dance with Earth.


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.


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.
