Why is our Moon like Mercury ?

[selfsame]

This is Mercury:

And this is our Moon

Points of similarities between Mercury and our Moon:
1- either of them has almost no atmosphere.
2- either of them has a large number of craters on its surface.
3- either of them has a cold core.
4- either of them does not spin around its axis.

But only Mercury is a planet and the other is our Moon.

1. They're too small to hold an atmosphere.
2. They have lots of craters because there's no atmosphere to burn up meteors.
3. They have cold cores because they were too small to retain their heat.
4. The do not spin on their axes (actually both do, just very slowly) because they are tide locked to much larger bodies close by.

1. They're too small to hold an atmosphere.

They are small, but not too small; it is not the sole reason.

2. They have lots of craters because there's no atmosphere to burn up meteors.

True, but this is only one factor, and there are other reasons for this.

3. They have cold cores because they were too small to retain their heat.

True, but this implies also they had hot cores before.

4. The do not spin on their axes (actually both do, just very slowly) because they are tide locked to much larger bodies close by.

The other side of Moon is invisible to us. The same is of Mercury in relation to the Sun.

Which would only be possible if the moon's rotation was equal to its revolution, i.e., 27 days. Ergo, the moon does rotate.

Mercury does as well. Your information is out of date.

As to you "other reasons," I'm sure it has something to do with the Jews.

Why don't we then see the other half or as it is called the invisible face of Moon?
So if it rotates around its axis, then we on Earth will see the other face also.

What makes the earth rotate around its axis?

Jews have nothing to do with this subject.

 

[Corduroy]

Does this have some significant implication?

 

[Curious Cdn]

They are both waaaay outside of the Goldilocks zone.

They both have maraschino cherry centres.

What makes the earth rotate around its axis?

Dervishes ... lots and lots of totally bonkers dervishes.

 

[Corduroy]

The moon is right in the middle of the Goldilocks zone. WHY IS THERE NO LIFE?

 

[Curious Cdn]

The moon is right in the middle of the Goldilocks zone. WHY IS THERE NO LIFE?

No arable soil. It was overgrazed, back in the distant past.

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

Why don't we then see the other half or as it is called the invisible face of Moon?

Because it rotates at the same rate it revolves.

So if it rotates around its axis, then we on Earth will see the other face also.

Wrong.

Picture this. You are walking around a post stuck in the ground. That's the revolution. As you walk around the post, you must gradually turn if you want to keep your front toward the post. That's rotation. The only way you can keep your front to the post at all times is if you rotate at the same rate you revolve. If you faces south all the time (no rotation), then as you moved around the post it would be in front of you, then beside you, then behind you, then on the other side of you. You would have no hidden side from it. Same with the moon. The only way it can keep one face to the earth is if it rotates at the same rate at which it revolves (approximately 28 days).

What makes the earth rotate around its axis?

Conservation of momentum from the cloud of debris that coalesced into the earth.

Jews have nothing to do with this subject.

Finally! Something you don't blame on the Jews!

The moon is right in the middle of the Goldilocks zone. WHY IS THERE NO LIFE?

Restrictive covenants.

Joo science

 

[WLDB]

Oh ffs Astronomy 101 will answer all of these questions, not that they havent already been answered in the thread.

 

[Curious Cdn]

Troll grunt.

Insecure and salty still! lol

They dictated that to you in the school and you knew it by heart without reasoning it.
And it is not logical what they have explained.
But imagine that the earth and moon are two balls of wood joined together by a long piece of wood and fit by screw, then the moon ball will face the earth ball with one face only.
And the momentum from the cloud also the same theory: which is outstanding at the present time; who said it was as such?

Even in your ridiculous "balls of wood" hypothetical, the moon still rotates. It's not a theory, it's a fact, easily demonstrated.

I look forward to you demonstrating that the earth and the moon are joined by a long piece of wood.

You want to know the real reason? It's because Allah felt like setting the solar system up that way so a bunch of barbarians could misunderstand it all because they spend their time with their faces stuck in a 1400-year-old fairy tale, then go blow themselves and as many of their fellow Muslims as they can to bloody shreds.

Yay. Well done you.

Here's all you need to know about the universe. . .

Go play on a American forum with other Yanks like yourself. I promise not to go anywhere near it.

 

[Dexter Sinister]

Hmmm... I recall eanassir making exactly the same silly argument and using the same example of the wooden balls, and being equally incapable of understanding the reality. Okay selfsame or whoever you are, take your two balls on a stick, fasten one of those balls to the top of a vertical post, set the whole arrangement rotating around the axis of the post, and stand back so it doesn't hit you when it comes around. You will see all sides of both balls, therefore both of them must be rotating.

Be funnier if he didn't stand back and it clocked him.

 

[55Mercury]

it's all to do with perspective, isn't it? from our earthbound perspective (naked eye) it doesn't appear to revolve; but from any other perspective, anywhere but the Earth, like from another planet, the Sun or even the Moon itself, it does.
