SIZE Sun: the sun is 1,392,684 Km in diameter Earth : the earth is 12,714 km in diameter Moon : the moon is 3475 km in diameter • On the moon there are mountains, valleys, highlands, dark flat areas, and craters • There are more craters on the moon than the on the earth because the moon has no atmosphere • The earth seas, oceans, lakes, plateaus, mountains, craters, ext. • The sun has no land forms because its made of gas. Sun spots are not landforms. • The moon has 6 times less gravity than earth • If you weigh 60 lbs. on earth than you will weigh 10 lbs. on the moon. • The sun has 28 times more gravity than earth. • If you weigh 80 lbs. on earth you will weigh 2240 on the sun. WEATHER AND ATMOSPHERE • THE MOON HAS NO ATMOSPHERE THEREFOR THE MOON HAS EXTREME TEMPERATURES AND CRATER ARE ABLE TO HIT THE MOON EASILY • THE EATH HAS AN ATMOSPHERE SO IT HAS FAIRLY GOOD TEMPERTURES the temperature range is -126136, THE ATMOSPHERE ON EARTH TRAPS HEAT ANLETS LITTLE GO, BUT IT STILL KEEPS THE EARTH FAIRLY COOL. The earth has 5 layers of atmosphere, there is the exosphere, thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, troposphere. • The sun’s 10,000- 7,300○F WATER ON THE T MOON THERE IS 158 MILLION GALLONS OF FROZEN WATER DICOVERED ABOUT 70% OF EARTH IS WATER THERE IS NO WATER ON THE SUN ,BUT THERE ARE SOME INTRESTING FEATURES LIKE SUN SPOTS, and SOLAR FLARES. SUN SPOTS ARE COLER PARTS OF THE SUN, SOLAR FLARES ARE WHEN GAS ON THE SUN EXPLODES. Weathering and erosion THE MOON DOES NOT HAVE AN ATMOSPHERE SO IT DOES HAVE ANY WEATHER, WHITH NO WEATHER THERE IS NO WEATHERING AND EROSION. THE EARTH HAS AN ATMOSPHERE SO IT HAS WEATHERING AND ERSION. AN EXAMPLE WOULD CAVES AND CANYONS. THE SUN HAS NO WEATHERING OR EROSION. TIME TO ROTATE ON ITS AXIS • THE MOON TAKES 27 DAYS TO ROTATE ON ITS AXIS • THE EARTH TAKES 24 HRS TO ROTATE ON ITS AXIS • THE SUN TAKES 27 DAYS TO ROTATE ON ITS AXIS Time to revolve/ orbit The moon takes 29 days to rotate around the earth The earth takes 365 days to orbit the sun The sun does not orbit anything Effects on other cycles The moon causes tides gravitational forces exerted by the moon. The tilt of the earth cases the seasons The sun effects earth’s temperature by producing heat. Thanks for watching
