The size of the moonThe size of the moon is 3,474 km

The size of the earth The size of the earth is 12,742 km

CratersCraters are caused by space rocks that hit the moon

landformsThere are different landforms on the earth some of them are bay, butte, canyon, cape, cave, cliff, cove, gulf, hill,island,lake.

Gravity of the moon• The moons gravity is 1.622 m/s2 6x

less then the earths gravity

Gravity of the earth• The earth’s gravity is 9.78m/s

Weather and Atmosphere of the moon

• the atmosphere and the weather of the moon is the moon has no atmosphere or weather

Weather and the atmosphere of the earth

• The atmosphere is a mixture of nitrogen 78%,oxygen 21%,and other gases 1% that surrounds earth

Water on the moonNasa has found so frozen water on the moon as shown in the picture below

Water on the earh• Water fills almost 70% of the

earth

Weather and Erosion on the moon

• NO WEATHERING

Weather and Erosion Water slides into cracks and pores in rock and cause the rock to break into smaller pieces,that procesS is called weathering. There are two primary weathering. Weathering and erosion slowly chisel, polish,and buff earth’s rock into ever evolving works of art-and then wash the remains into the sea

Time to rotate on its axis the moon

• From our perspective here on earth,the moon always shows us the same face because its tidally locked to our planet.27 days

Time to rotate on its axis the earth

• Length of a day:24 hours night and day

Time to revolve/ orbit once the moon

Around the earth 29.3 days

Time to revolve/ orbit once Around the sun ( one year ) 365 days

Effects on other cycles:the moon

• Tides:when the moon is closer to one side of the earth the water pulls closer, but the earth is a little bit ahead of the moon

Effects on other cycles: the earth

• What causes seasons? • Seasons are cause by the tilt of the

earth
