The moon and the
earths characteristics
By luke janak and
jesse olson
The moons size
The diameter of the moon is
about 3,474 km
The volume of the moon is
about 2.195x10km
The surface of the moon is
about 37.9 million square
killometers
The earths size
 The
volume of the earth is about
1.083x10km
 The surface area is about
510,072,000km
 The circumference of the earth is
about 40,041km
 The mass of the earth is about
5.9736x10kg
The moons craters
 The
moon has lots of craters
 A crater is a remain of a space object
impacting the moon and leaving a
huge dent in the moon
 The largest crater in the moon has a
diameter of 2,000km and it is deeper
than 13km
The earths land forms
• The earth has lots of
land forms like
mountains and cliffs
• A land form is made by
erosion, land slides, and
lots more
The moons gravity
The
moon does have
gravity but it is a very
little amount
Compared to earths
gravity the moon has
1/6 of the gravity
The earths gravity
The
earth has lots of
gravity
The earth has enough
gravity to hold the
moon in earths orbit
The moons weather and
atmosphere
The moon has no
atmosphere which
means that it has no
weather either
The earths weather and
atmosphere
 The earth has a atmosphere
 the atmosphere of earth is made
out of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen,
and 0.9 carbon dioxide
 The earth also has weather like
rain, tornados, and hurricanes
The moons water
 The moon does have water but not
much
 At night the water is frozen and
during the day it is melted
Earths water
The earth has lots of
water
The earth is mostly
made of water
The moons weathering and
erosion
The moon has no
atmosphere so that
means there is no
weather and no weather
means no weathering or
erosion
The earths weathering and
erosion
 The earth has weathering and erosion
 Weathering and erosion happens when it
either rains floods or really strong winds
occur
The time it takes the moon to rotate
on its axis
 It takes the moon 29.5 days to rotate once
on its axis
Time it takes for the earth to rotate
on its axis
 It takes earth 24 hours or 1440 minutes or
86400 seconds to rotate on its axis
 This causes night and day
Time it takes the moon to orbit the
earth
It takes the moon 29.5 days to rotate the earth
Time it takes the earth to orbit the
sun
 It takes the earth 365 days to orbit the earth
or 1 year
The moons effects on tides
 The moon effects our oceans tides because
of the moons little gravity either pulling or
not pulling the oceans water
The earths seasons
 What causes the earths seasons is
sometimes the earth is closer to the sun and
that causes the summer and when the earth
is farther from the sun that causes winter
