Moon and Planets Quick Check
1. How does the mass of the Earth compare to the mass of moon?
-- The mass of the Earth is about 80 times the mass of the moon.
2. Why are there craters on the surface of the moon?
-- Craters resulted when meteoroids crashed into the surface of the moon.
3. Use the scenario to answer the question. A student creates a Venn diagram depicting two objects in the solar system. On one side of the Venn diagram, the student writes “have surface features such as mountains, valleys, and volcanoes,” and on the other side of the Venn diagram, the student writes “unable to land on because there is no solid surface.”
Which two objects is the student comparing?
-- Inner and Outer Planets
4. Which of the following best describes the make up of Saturn's rings?
-- dust, rock, and ice particles that orbit due to Saturn's gravity

To compare the mass of the Earth to the mass of the Moon, we can use the known values for their masses. The mass of the Earth is approximately 5.972 × 10^24 kilograms, while the mass of the Moon is approximately 7.347 × 10^22 kilograms.
To find the ratio of the Earth's mass to the Moon's mass, we can divide the mass of the Earth by the mass of the Moon:
(5.972 × 10^24 kg) / (7.347 × 10^22 kg) ≈ 81.2
Therefore, the mass of the Earth is approximately 81.2 times the mass of the Moon.
