Space Out Science By: Kyra Moore

Size The moon is 14,658,000 square miles or 9.4 billion acres The earth, on the other hand is 7,926 miles in diameter and 24,901 miles in the circumference because the size is different on a circle

Craters and Landforms Earth has many landforms for example, valleys, mountains, and plains The moon has many craters caused by asteroids and comets

Gravity The Earth’s gravity changes between the poles(9.832m/s) and the equator (9.789m/s) The Moon’s gravity is only a 1/5 as strong as the Earth’s

Weather and Atmosphere The moon has no atmosphere which effects it by having no weather And Earth’s atmosphere is made out of a thin layer of gases which allows us to have rain, snow, hail, and sleet.

Water On the moon space stations have found up to billion gallons of water Water and oceans cover 75% of the earth that’s like 350 billion-billions to 400 billion- billions

Weathering and Erosion On the moon there is no wind or flowing rivers to erode the surface On the Earth erosion is caused by water and wind

Rotation It takes the moon 29.5 earth days to rotate on its axis that’s like 1,740 minutes But it takes the earth only 24 hours that’s only 1,440 minutes

Orbit It takes 27.3 days for the moon to orbit the earth And it takes the earth 365 days to orbit the sun

Tides The Earth’s tides are largely caused by the gravitational pull of the MOON

Seasons highThe seasons are caused by the Earth’s tilt and how high you are

Fun Facts The mass of the earth is 6,000,000,000,000,0000,000,000,00 0 kg The moon effects animals feelings and actions At first the moon was hot and melted
