What is there on Moon?

[selfsame]

Moon has a day of 14 1/2 of our days, and its night is also 14 1/2 of our days.
It has no atmosphere or water and there is no life on it.
It has a large number of craters; and a thick layer of fluffy sand.
It has a large number of mountains; and it faces the earth with one face only, the other hemisphere is invisible to us on earth.
Its core is cold.
It has a fluctuating surface temperature: from severe heat at day time, to severe coldness at its night.
============================================

Planet Mercury has much similarity to our Moon, with many differences, like that: Mercury has one of its hemispheres always facing the sun with a perpetual day on this side, while the other hemisphere is in perpetual night.
(Notice the difference: our Moon faces the sun for 14 1/2 of our days, and then this side will be in the darkness of night for 14 1/2 of our days.

Awww, the Zionist beat you to it :lol:

It's true that Muhammed was never someone to make anything. He just likes killing and taking it from the ones who make things.

And enslaving souls, that's his favorit.

A slave master in life, and a slave master for all eternity. May he harvest your soul.

Are you sure about that math? The moon orbits the earth about once every 24 hours. Since it is in tidal lock the sun should shine on the whole moon during that one day, about 12 hours per day on any one spot.
Okay, no life.
Odd that all that fluffy dust that was being thrown all over that it only landed in the part of the earth that would not be a 'protruding rock' as evidenced in all the Apollo pics.

How do you know the core is cold, at 1 time it had to be molten and the core being heavier was attracted to earth more than the lighter material that makes up the crust of the surface. Moving further away over time means the migration would stop due to less gravity being applied rather than it becoming too cold. As it cooled off there should have been come subduction as the core and mantle shrank in size that happens when any mass loses heat.

Perhaps our core is being pulled towards the sun at a slightly faster rate than the crust and that is pulling the core off center and it's interaction with the magma is to slow its speed down and that relates to the days and night being longer over time.

It sound likes mercury is also in a tidal lock with the sun just like the moon is with the earth.

Venus has an atmosphere that is 'active' so perhaps constant winds can affect the rotation of a whole planet if they blow the same direction for millions of years. Nor do I know the speed of the bigger planets at the same diameter the earth is so speculation has it's limits at the moment.

Nice house,until you come home some day and it has rolled away. Might be the ticket for getting through a twister though, or inside of a soccer ball sized clear one and send the camera out into the storm to go where the wind blows it. Then turn that into an I-Max VR ride.

How do you know the core is cold

Basic physics and observation. A)The moon does not rotate on an axis. B) There's no, and I mean no magnetosphere of any kind.
A rapidly rotating object like a planet helps provide the core's spinning action. This keeps the liquid portion of the core moving around, thus constantly moving the material around helping to prevent it from solidifying. Mass also plays an important role as pressure from above also helps generate lots of heat. The moon is not very big nor does it contain enough mass to create that kind of pressure. It's the combination of the spinning liquid AND solid core that generates a magnetosphere.


Also, what they are saying when they say that the moon's core is cold, is that the core has essentially solidified. The core is probably still pretty damn warm once you get closer to it, but you likely won't find any magma.


In short, the lack of rotation and mass means the moon's core is pretty much solid by now.

Oh, ummm ...kosher peanuts.

The moon orbits the Earth in a moonth, also called a month.


Anyway, Mercury spins an it's axis, just like the Earth does and it does not have he same face exposed to the sun, all if the time.

How about we leave the subjects of you salty nuts being kosher or nor for one of your 'special threads'?

It takes Mercury about 59 Earth days to spin once on its axis (the rotation period), and about 88 Earth days to complete one orbit about the Sun. However, the length of the day on Mercury (sunrise to sunrise) is 176 Earth days.

4B years ago the length ofday on the earth was supposed to be about 6 hrscompared to the 24 hrs it is today and 4B years from now it could be 48 hrs long. Without getting into the other dynamics of Mercury (for the moment) the length of her day 4B years ago and 4B in the future may show that the 176 days has not been the length of a day at those points in her history. If she (or Venus or Mars) show the orbital speed is slowing then the effect could be cause by a transition to a tidal lock condition being the final factor in 'how long a day will last'. Hope I am making proper use of the numbers.

Wrong. The moon does rotate on its axis. It simply rotates at the same rate at which it revolves around the earth, so it's "day" is the same length as it's "year" (period of revolution around the earth). The same used to be thought true of Mercury and the sun, but it turns out that Mercury is not completely tide-locked, and does not keep the same face always to the sun.

Wouldn't the moon's year be be the same length as the earth's, both take 365.25 days to orbit the sun. In that respect does the moon experience 'seasons' (poles have variable length days/nights on an average year as it is not above the same location above the earth each day of those 365 orbits.

Cheese. Everyone knows the moon is made of cheese.
