MOON
BY LIAM.M & CODY.$
Moons size
Think of the earth as a soccer ball then think of
the moon as a golf ball, the moon is only 3,474
km in diameter the earth is 12,742 km in
diameter the moon seems pretty puny
compared to the earth now
Landforms & craters
• The Earth has many land
forms caused by wind and
running water therefor
allowing weathering and
erosion.
• The moon gets the craters
from asteroids that hit it.
This happens because the
moon has no atmosphere to
disintegrate the asteroids
unlike Earth. Not having a
atmosphere also prevents
the moon to have weather,
wind, or running water. So
there is no weathering or
erosion.
GRAVITY
• THE MOON HAS 1/6
gravity of the earth
• The EARTH has 6 times
the gravity on the moon.
ATMOSPHERE
MOONS ATMOSPHERE
• The Moon has no
atmosphere so it has no
weather. Having no
atmosphere makes it
prone to asteroids.
EARTHS ATMOSPHERE
• The Earth has five layers
of atmosphere the
Exosphere,
Thermosphere,
Mesosphere,
Stratosphere, and the
Troposphere.
WATER
MOON
• Scientists have
discovered a partial
amount of water
EARTH
• The EARTH is 70 percent
made up of water
Weathering and Erosion
Moon
Earth
• The moon has no wind
or running water.
Therefore there is no
erosion or
weathering.
• The Earth has things
that can cause
weathering and
erosion. Water and
wind are a big causes
of weathering and
erosion. They cause
many different kinds of
landforms such as
mountains, valleys,
lakes, boulders,
beaches, and swamps.
TIME TO ROTATE ON AXIS
MOON
EARTH
• It takes the moon 27 days
to rotate on it`s axis
• It takes the earth 24 hours
1 day to rotate on it`s
axis
ORBIT`S
MOON
EARTH
• IT takes the moon 29.5
earth days to orbit the
earth
• IT takes the earth 365.25
earth days to orbit the sun
THE SEASONS
• The earth`s axis is tilted. Consider any
globe you`ve seen instead of being
straight up and down it`s at a tilt of 23.5
degrees. for six months of the year , the
southern hemisphere is pointed toward the
sun. Then in a month the northern
hemisphere will be facing the sun. when
its facing the sun its summer and when its
not its winter. Thus creating the seasons.
MYSTERIOUS BLUE MOON
BLUE MOON
There is no “blue moon” the “blue moon” is just
a second full moon in a month and only
happens every two and a half years
