∙ 13y agoFrom earth the moon subtends an angle of 0.5 degrees. The ancient Greeks determined that the moon was approximately 60 earth radii away. Using simple trigonometry, the diameter of the moon would therefore be (60/2) tan(0.5°) = 0.26 earth diameters, or about 2000 miles. [The actual diameter is 2160 miles]. That makes the circumference 2000(pi) = 6300 miles [actual equatorial distance is 6786 miles].

Assuming the moon to be a sphere, the formula to find its surface area is 4/3*pi*r^3 where r is the radius of the moon.
If the length of the second pendulum of the earth is about 1 meter, the length of the second pendulum should be between 0.3 and 0.5 meters.
From Wikipedia, the gravitational acceleration on the Moon (on its equator) is 1.622 m/s2. This is the same as 1.622 N/kg, so you can multiply the mass by this number to get the weight in Newton. (The man's mass, of course, will still be 70 kg on the Moon. His weight will change, but his mass will not change.)
It would be hard to find a line of symmetry on a moon, as it is likely to be irregularly shaped.
Yes, the moon has an equator. It is an imaginary line around its surface equidistant from its poles, similar to Earth's equator.
The lunar equator receives the most sunlight annually due to its proximity to the sun-facing side of the Moon. This region experiences extended periods of daylight and is ideal for solar power generation.
An equator is simply an imaginary line across the middle of the planetoid. So yes, the moon has an equator.
Yes
The moon crosses the equator twice each lunar month due to the moon's change of declination.
Yes, the Moon can be seen from the equator. The Moon is visible from all locations on Earth where the sky is clear and the Moon is above the horizon.

The moon's circumference at its equator is... 10,921 km
The moon is a natural satellite. A meter is a measurement of length. No, the moon is not a measurement of length.

The moon's equator can reach temperatures of around 260°F (127°C) during lunar noon. This extreme heat is due to the lack of atmosphere on the moon to retain and distribute heat, causing large temperature variations between day and night.
the temperature on the moon at noon is 8633896543 celcous
