MOON J ASON L OPEZ. HOW WAS IT CREATED? There are many theories, but one theory says that a giant planetoid crashed with the Earth billions of years ago.

Gravity and Motion The strength of the force of gravity between two objects depends on two factors: the mass of the objects and the distance between them.

How did the moon form?

Moon Basic Facts: The mass of the moon is about 1/100th that of Earth. The moon has little or no atmosphere. The moon has a low density compared to the Earth. The moon revolves around the Earth once every _______. The moon rotates on its axis once every ________. Therefore it is said to be in ________ rotation.

Moon Basic Facts: The mass of the moon is about 1/100th that of Earth. The moon has little or no atmosphere. The moon has a low density compared to the Earth. The moon revolves around the Earth once every month. The moon rotates on its axis once every month. Therefore it is said to be in synchronous rotation. (We only see ONE side of the moon from Earth!)

FYI (no need to memorize this): The Earth-moon system is evolving. The moon is moving outwards. The Earth is slowing down. Eventually, the moon will only see one face of the Earth. The timescale for this to occur on is...

Moon: Basic Geology

Lunar Maria: Smoother, darker terrain caused by volcanic activity Does this look like volcanoes on Earth?

Lunar Maria: Smoother, darker terrain caused by volcanic activity Does this look like volcanoes on Earth?

Lunar lava comes out of fissures

Lunar Highlands: Rugged, bright terrain caused by collisions

Lunar cratering data has been used to understand the rates of impacts in the solar system. Only on the moon can we get absolute dates. (WHY?)

Should we go back? Are manned missions worthwhile? The Apollo program sent people and spacecraft to the moon from No spacecraft have landed on the moon since.

The Moon: Take-away messages The phases of the moon are caused by the relative locations of the Earth, moon and sun. Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon. The moon is in synchronous rotation- we only see one of its faces. The moon was formed by a giant collision, followed by the collection of impact debris. Geology on the moon is controlled by collisions and volcanism (but the volcanism is different from that on Earth) Cratering on the moon can be used to understand collision rates in the solar system.
