Size
Moon
• The moon’s diameter is 3,478.8 kilometers.
Or 27% /about 1 fourth, the size of Earth.
Earth
• The Earth’s diameter is 7,918 kilometer
• It is 3 fourths larger than of the moon.
• The moon is more prone to craters because it has no atmosphere .
• The moon is believed to have been home of many volcanoes. Although, today the are no longer any known volcanoes that are active.
• The earth has landforms such as mountains, rivers , oceans, streams and hills.
• The Earth has very few craters if any because it does have an atmosphere to help block craters.
Moon
• The moon has 6x less gravity than the Earth.
• If you weigh 120 on Earth you would weigh 20 on the Moon.
Earth
• Earth has 6x more gravity than the moon which causes you to weigh more.
and erosion .
Moon
• The moon has no atmosphere so it has no weather or erosion.
Earth
• The Earth has an atmosphere and is constantly being changed by weathering
Moon
• N.A.S.A has found some water on the moon although it is all believed to be in solid form.
Earth
• The Earth is made up of about
70%water,or 2/3. About 98% of the water on Earth 2% is fresh .
Moon
• The moon has no atmosphere therefore it has very extreme temperatures and no weather to change the surface.
Earth
• The Earth does have an atmosphere therefore it does experience weather like rain, wind, snow, tornadoes, etc. The temperatures are also less extreme and more bearable for us.
Moon
• The Moon takes 27.5 days to rotate on its axis and 29.5 days to revolve around the Earth.
Earth
• The Earth takes about 24 hours rotate on its axis and 365.25 days to orbit the sun.
Moon
• The moons causes the tides with the pull of its gravity. Its gravity can raise the tides up to 3ft.
Earth
• The seasons are caused by
Earth being tilt on its axis either farther or closer to the Sun as it orbits the Sun.
