Mercury, Pluto, and The Moon -josh Holland-

Mercury: Basic Facts Mass:3.3011x1023 Kg Radius:2439.7 Km Mean Surface Temperature:200-340 K

Mercury: basic facts Mercury has no moons. Orbital Period: 87.97 days

Mercury: basic facts Mercury has a relatively large core, compared to its total size

Pluto: Basic Facts Mean Surface Temperature:44 K Mass:1.303x1022 Kg Radius:1187 Km Average Distance From sun: 3.63 Billion miles

Pluto: Basic Facts Pluto has 5 moons(Charon, Styx, Nix, Kerberos, Hydra) Orbital Period: 90,560 days

Pluto: Basic Facts Pluto has a core of rock, and thick layers of ice covering that.

The Moon: Basic Facts Mean Surface Temperature:150-220 K Mass:7.342x1022 Kg Radius:1737 Km The moon orbits Earth

The Moon: Phases The same lunar surface always faces earth because the moon is tidally locked to earth Phases result from the position of the sun relative to the moon, illuminating a different face

The Moon: Tides Tides are a result of the gravitational pull of the moon on earth

The Moon: Eclipse A lunar eclipse is when the moon passes into the shadow of the Earth A solar Eclipse is when the moon partially blocks the sun from the earth, allowing the sun’s corona to be seen with the naked eye

The Moon: Missions In July 1969, the Apollo 11 launched and landed a lunar module on the surface of the moon for the first time. The Apollo program had 16 successful launches, 6 of which landed men on the moon.
