  1. Moon and earth By Caleigh Carothers

  2. The size of the moon The size of the moon is 3,474 km

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

  4. Craters Craters are caused by space rocks that hit the moon

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

  6. Gravity of the moon • The moons gravity is 1.622 m/s2 6x less then the earths gravity

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

  8. Weather and Atmosphere of the moon • the atmosphere and the weather of the moon is the moon has no atmosphere or weather

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

  10. Water on the moon Nasa has found so frozen water on the moon as shown in the picture below

  11. Water on the earh • Water fills almost 70% of the earth

  12. Weather and Erosion on the moon • NO WEATHERING

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

  14. 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

  15. Time to rotate on its axis the earth • Length of a day:24 hours night and day

  16. Time to revolve/ orbit once the moon Around the earth 29.3 days

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

  18. 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

  19. Effects on other cycles: the earth • What causes seasons? • Seasons are cause by the tilt of the earth
