... design the right equipment and train our people so they can safely live and work on the Moon. Eventually the Moon will be a place for tourists to go just for the fun of going to the Moon. ---- Answer provided by John Spencer Image:K2S logosmall.jpg Question and Answer extracted from the ...

The Moon has gravity but it is smaller than the Earth's gravity because the Moon is much smaller than the Earth. An object will stay where it is built on the Moon. ---- Answer provided by John Spencer Image:K2S logosmall.jpg Question and Answer extracted from the book ...

... . The Moon does not have enough of an atmosphere to support the growth of noticeable ice caps, but we believe with a relative degree of confidence that extensive ice is located in the soil and in cold traps at both of the lunar poles. Cold traps are craters on the Moon where, because they are always angled away from the Sun, light—and therefore the energy ...

The radius of the Moon is measured from its center of mass to its surface. For the Moon this is, on average, about 1,080 miles. The Earth's radius at the equator is 3,963 miles making the Moon's radius 27.25 percent that of the Earth. http ...

... ways of measuring the Moon. One can measure how wide it is in the sky, what its circumference is, what its mass is, and so forth. Over time we've measured the Moon in all kinds of different ways, even how squishy it is inside (its love number). We know that folks started trying to accurately measure the distance to the Moon about 2 ... /For%20Kids/KidstoSpace.html Click here Category:Kids To Space Category:Kids To Space - THE MOON

... left special instruments on the Moon, and a special laser at the McDonald Observatory in western Texas bounces a laser off these instruments. Careful measurement of the results has shown us that the Moon is moving slowly away from us, at about 1.5 inches per year. http://www.nasa.gov/worldbook/moon_worldbook.html (See ...

We would most likely travel to low Earth orbit (LEO) with a chemical rocket. Once in orbit we would either dock with a space station and transfer to an outbound vehicle ... get to anywhere on the Moon's surface at any time. Going to the Moon by way of a LEO station and EML-1 would take about a week—the same length of time ... to travel across the Pacific Ocean—but we could go anywhere on the Moon. Traveling from a LEO orbit to a LLO with a TLI and then down to the Moon's surface would ...

... glasses on the Moon, as well, including green, orange, and black. The color seems to correlate to the titanium content of the glass. The Moon is covered in craters, mountains, valleys and great plains, called Maria. Since the Moon has no atmosphere it's possible to see objects and spacecraft very clearly on the ...

... the atmosphere the Moon appears to be a grayish color like the astronauts observed when they traveled to it. This is the true color of the Moon since there is no atmosphere to absorb the light from the Moon reaching the eyes of the astronauts. ---- Answer provided ...

The Moon is thought to be mostly made up of rocks and debris blown into orbit when a very large planetoid—at least as large as Mars— smacked into the Earth. Over time this material collected and cooled and created the Moon. Since then it has been hit many, many times, by comets and asteroids, and most of that material will remain on the Moon. Sometimes the impact is big enough ...
