How round is the Moon in KM?

The moon’s mean radius is 1,079.6 miles (1,737.5 kilometers) and the mean diameter is 2,159.2 miles (3,475 km). Compared to Earth, the moon is less than a third the width of our home planet, according to NASA. The moon’s equatorial circumference is 6,783.5 miles (10,917 km).

What is moon’s diameter?

2,159.1 miMoon / Diameter

Is the Moon 1.4 million km in diameter?

The scale size of the Moon is about 1.4mm in diameter or a little more than a quarter as large as the Earth. But how far away is it? Well the average distance from the centre of the Earth to the Moon is 384,000km so in our model the Moon is 151mm away.

What is the inclination of the moon?

5 degrees
The inclination angle of the Moon’s orbit to the plane of the ecliptic is 5 degrees. This means that the Moon also moves along the ecliptic, and is seen only in the constellations along the ecliptic.

What is the volume of the moon?

Bulk parameters

Moon Ratio (Moon/Earth)
Volume (1010 km3) 2.1968 0.0203
Equatorial radius (km) 1738.1 0.2725
Polar radius (km) 1736.0 0.2731
Volumetric mean radius (km) 1737.4 0.2727

How many Jupiters fit into the Sun?

According to multiple studies, around 1,000 Jupiters could fit into the Sun.

Is the Moon as big as Australia?

Australia’s diameter is 600km wider than the moon’s. The moon sits at 3400km in diameter, while Australia’s diameter from east to west is almost 4000km.

Does moon rotate?

It made so much sense now! The moon does rotate on its axis. One rotation takes nearly as much time as one revolution around Earth. If the moon were to rotate quickly (several times each month) or not rotate at all, Earth would be exposed to all sides of the moon (i.e. multiple different views).

What is the distance between Earth and moon?

238,900 miMoon / Distance to Earth

What is the volume of the Moon in cubic kilometers?

about 21.9 billion cubic kilometers
The volume of the Moon is about 21.9 billion cubic kilometers.

How do you calculate the diameter of the Moon?

laser retroreflector

  • radar bounce
  • knowing surface gravity of Earth,Kepler’s law and moon’s orbital period semi major axis is calculated.
  • knowing size of Earth and looking at Earth shadow durning solar eclipse gives relative size of moon and Earth so apparent size gives moon distance.
  • How many kilometers is between Earth and the Moon?

    When the Earth’s #Moon formed, it was just about 4 Earth radii away. Today, the Moon is over 60 Earth radii away! Tides in the Earth pushed the Moon outward, while the Earth was heated. This heat could have supported the early #habitability of our planet: https://t.co/OWU0rxSqio. pic.twitter.com/EdBj1TS1r2

    Which Moon is the largest in diameter?

    Jupiter’s Ganymede is the largest moon in our solar system. Ganymede is the largest of Jupiter’s 79 moons as well as by far the largest moon in the solar system. Ganymede orbits around Jupiter with a diameter of 5,262 kilometers.

    What is distance from Earth to Moon in km?

    The orbit changes over the course of the year so the distance from the Moon to Earth roughly ranges from 357,000 km to 407,000 km, giving velocities ranging from 1.100 to 0.966 km/s.
