You can't really calculate the radius of a distance. The radius of something is half the distance from one side of a circle to the other. And besides, the sun and moon aren't always the same distance apart. Their distance varies by season, time of the month, and even time of day.

Can you calculate the volumes of the Earth and the Moon?

Based on what? If you know the radius, you can use the formula for a sphere - which is a good approximation in the case of Earth and Moon.


The mean raduis of the earth is 6.3710 to the power of 6mand that of the moon is 1.7410 to the power of 8cmfrom these data calculate a the ratio of the earth's surface are to that of the moon?

The ratio of the surface areas is (earth's radius/moon's radius)^2 where the radii are in the same units.This gives the answer as 13.40, approx.And, incidentally, the word is radius, not raduis!


Which is biggest between Sun Moon and Earth?

In order of size from largest to smallest Sun > Earth > Moon. If we quote the radius of these objects. Sun ; 695,700 km Earth ; 6,365 km Moon ; 1,736 km From these figures you can see that the Sun is over 100 times bigger than the Earth, and the Earth is nearly 4 times greater than the Moon. The reason why the Sun and Moon appear to the same size is because the Moon is much nearer to the Earth , than the Sun. It is a property of optics that the further away an object is, then the smaller it appears. From the Earth;- Sun's distance is ~92,000,000 miles Moon's distance is ~242,000 miles. From the above radii you can calculate the volume of each object. By using the Gravitational Constant the masses of these objects can be calculated.


What planet is the size of earth's moon?

The only planet close in size to the moon is Mercury, the closest planet to the sun. The mean radius of the moon is 1737.10 km The mean radius of Mercury is 2439.7 km There are many dwarf planets that are close in size to the moon, but that would be another question.

What is titans orbital radius?

Of Jupiter or the Sun? Technically it is orbiting both. It orbits the Sun at a radius of (on average) 5.204 AU or about 780 million kilometres. Titan is a moon of Saturn (not Jupiter) and orbits Saturn at approximately 1.2 million kilometers radius. Saturn in turn orbits the sun at about 10 A.U. or 1.5 billion kilometers.
