Info below retrieved from Wikipedia\n\nmoon equatorial diameter  = 3,476 km\nearth equatorial diameter = 12,756 km\nThen, the size of the moon compared to earth = 0.27\n\nThe inclination of the Moon's orbit makes it implausible that the Moon formed along with the Earth or was captured later; its origin is the subject of some scientific debate.The current theory on the moon's origin is that a very large object hit the earth some \n 4,527 ± 10 million years ago, causing a large amount of dust to orbit the earth. Eventually the dust accumulated to form the moon. The moon has many minerals which are similar to earth, and the moon lacks an molten iron core.\n\nThe gravity on the moon is very small, about 0.1654 that of earth. This would account for the lack of atmosphere.\n\nThe earth receives about 1,370 watts per square meter of solar energy, of which only about 1,000 watts per square meter reach the surface due to the adsorbtion of heat by the atmosphere.\nSince the moon has no atmosphere, the temperatures on the moon swing higher/lower than the temperatures on the earth.\nThe min, mean and max temperatures on the surface of the moon (in Kelvin) are 40 K,  250 K, and  396 K respectively. The min, mean and max temperatures on the surface of earth are 185 K (-88 °C), 287 K (14 °C), and 331 K (58 °C) max respectively.\n\nThe apparent lack of craters on the earth is due to "plate tectonics", or the movement of the surfaces of the earth. Many craters were swallowed up when, say, the India plate moved underneath the plate which contains the Himalaya mountains.\n\nHope this helps!

Most of the earth is made of iron and nickel.  This might not appear to be true at first because we see that the ground does not feel like metal, but the earth's inner and outer cores consist primarily of molten iron and nickel.  The earth's crust is only a few miles thick (at the thickest) and floats on top of the molten layers.

None!\n\nAtmosphere is made up of Nitrogen (78%), Oxygen (21%),Argon (0.9%) and other gasses e.g Carbon dioxide, Methane, Rare (inert) gases (0.1%)

First of all it is a significant body.  At one time it was geologically active therefore had a molten interior and rotation similar to the earth.  Over time due to the combination of gravity, rotation and geological activity the moon developed a round shape.  The moon has long since been "dead" and its rotation slowed due to the earths gravitonal pull so now its rotational period precisely matches it revolution around the Earth.

Earth.  But one of them is not a true moon.  It's only a temporary one.

Galileo's sketches of the Moon.\n\nHere are Galileo's drawings of the jagged surface of the moon.  His telescopic observations convinced him that the moon could not be a perfect, crystalline sphere.  (In the Greek scientific tradition, everything from the moon on out is made of a special, fifth element, whose natural motion is in a circle.  Everything below the moon's orbit is made of the four elements earth, fire, air, and water. \n\nhttp://unr.edu/homepage/nickles/wthonors/galileo.htm

yes it is, and delicious too. With holes and rats at their holes. Yum YUm....\nNo i was just kidding. What you see in animations and cartoons are not all true, they are just make beliefs. \nThe moon is a solid rock just like the earth.  It formed as the same age of the earth. And you'll learm a lot more of the moon when you go to school. So study very hard and you'll know more and much interesting things, not just the moon but a lot more.

According to my sources:\n\n"Titan bulk composition is half water ice and half rocky material. It is probably differentiated into several layers with a 3400 km (2,040 mi) rocky center surrounded by several layers composed of different crystal forms of ice. Its interior may still be hot and there may be a liquid layer consisting of water and ammonia between the ice crust and the rocky core."\n\nThere is also a picture to the right that you can click on to make larger so see the relative concentrations of materials in the moon's physical makeup.\n\nAlso, my sources go on to say:\n\n"The Cassini mission has revealed that Titan's surface is relatively smooth."

It looks like that because of the refraction of light through moisture in the atmosphere. What you are seeing is really just water in our atmosphere difusing the sunlight reflected by the moon.

Yes, the moon is a natural satellite of Earth.

the moon doesnt have a strong enough graviational field to allow it to retain the necessary atoms/molecules to form an atmosphere

Think rally hard. The moon has gravity just like the earth. Have you ever seen a flag on earth stand that straight? They had a metal pole across the top and the grainy video make it look as if it is fluttering.

Is the sun a planet?  Is the moon a star?  Is the earth yellow and full and made of cheese?
