Distance of moon in comparison to radius of earth?

Distance from Earth to Moon is approximately 60.34 times larger than radius of Earth.


If radius of mars is 3397km how many times larger is the earth?

Earth's radius is about 6,371 km, so Earth's radius is approximately 1.88 times larger than Mars.


Is the radius of the moon's orbit 0.6 or 6 or 60 times larger than the radius of earth?

The radius of the Moon's orbit is about 60 times larger than the radius of Earth.


Why does the sun exert a bigger force on the earth than on the moon?

The force of gravity between two objects depends on their masses and distance. The sun exerts a bigger force on the Earth because the Earth has a much larger mass compared to the Moon. Additionally, the distance between the Earth and the sun is much closer than the distance between the Moon and the sun.


Why does the weight of an object decrease with increase in distance from the centre of the earth?

Because Earth's gravity is becoming less and less with the larger amount of distance between it and the object.


How many times is the suns radius bigger than earths surface?

The sun's radius is about 109 times larger than Earth's radius. Since surface area increases with the square of the radius, the sun's radius is about 11,800 times larger than Earth's surface area.


What is the distance from the core of the Earth to the surface of the Earth?

The radius of the Earth is 6378.1 kilometers or about 3961.3 miles


Which is the larger the diameter of the sun or the distance between the sun and the earth?

The diameter of the Sun is approximately 1 million miles; the distance between the Earth and the Sun varies from about 91.5 million to 94.5 million miles. So the distance between is MUCH greater than the diameter.


What is the average distance from the center of earth to the center of the moon?

The average distance from the center of the Earth to the center of the Moon is about 384,400 kilometers.


What is the field strength at a distance one Earth radius beyond the surface?

I assume you mean, of the gravitational field? The gravitational field is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. At a distance of 1 Earth radius, the distance from the center of the Earth is twice the distance at the Earth's surface; thus, the field strength is 1/4 what it is on the surface. If at the surface the field strength is about 9.8 meters per second square, divide that by 4 to get the field strength at a distance of one Earth radius from the surface.I assume you mean, of the gravitational field?

The diameter of the Sun is much larger than the distance between the Earth and the Moon. The diameter of the Sun is about 1.4 million kilometers, while the average distance between the Earth and the Moon is about 384,400 kilometers.


What is Equatorial Radius?

Half the distance in a straight line from one side of a planet to the other through the centre of the planet with the distance measured from the equaor on both sides. In other words, the radius of the sphere of the planet measured, not at the pole, but at the equator. It is important to distinguish between polar radius and equatorial radius because no planet is an exact sphere, but 'bulges out' at the equator because of 'centrifugal force' as the planet rotates. This is most marked in the gas giants of the solar system especially Jupiter and Saturn, which look distinctly flattened at the poles when viewed through a telescope, so that the polar radii are very much smaller that the equatorial radii.
