The Earth and The Moon

By: Annie Bailey

Size Moon• The moon’s diameter is 3,478.8 kilometers.Or 27% /about 1 fourth, the size of Earth. Earth• The Earth’s diameter is 7,918 kilometer• It is 3 fourths larger than of the moon.

Landforms and Craterson the Moon

• The moon is more prone to craters because it has no atmosphere .

• The moon is believed to have been home of many volcanoes. Although, today the are no longer any known volcanoes that are active.

Landforms and Craters on the Earth

• The earth has landforms such as mountains, rivers , oceans, streams and hills.

• The Earth has very few craters if any because it does have an atmosphere to help block craters.

Gravity

Moon• The moon has 6x less gravity than

the Earth.• If you weigh 120 on Earth you would

weigh 20 on the Moon. Earth • Earth has 6x more gravity than the

moon which causes you to weigh more.

Weathering and Erosion

and erosion. Moon• The moon has no atmosphere so it has no weather

or erosion. Earth• The Earth has an atmosphere and is constantly

being changed by weathering

Water

Moon• N.A.S.A has found some water on the

moon although it is all believed to be in solid form.

Earth• The Earth is made up of about

70%water,or 2/3. About 98% of the water on Earth 2% is fresh .

Weather and Atmosphere

Moon• The moon has no atmosphere therefore it has

very extreme temperatures and no weather to change the surface.

Earth• The Earth does have an atmosphere therefore

it does experience weather like rain, wind, snow, tornadoes, etc. The temperatures are also less extreme and more bearable for us.

Time to Rotate and Revolve

Moon• The Moon takes 27.5 days to rotate on its axis

and 29.5 days to revolve around the Earth. Earth • The Earth takes about 24 hours rotate on its

axis and 365.25 days to orbit the sun.

Effects on Other Cycles

Moon • The moons causes the tides with the pull of its

gravity. Its gravity can raise the tides up to 3ft. Earth• The seasons are caused by Earth being tilt on its axis either farther or closer to the Sun as it orbits the Sun.
