Earth and Moon Compared
The Moon has approximately 1/4 Earth's diameter, 1/50 Earth's volume, and 1/80 Earth's mass. Earth is very dense overall because Earth has a large core of iron and other heavy metallic elements, while the Moon has only a small core, if it has a core at all. The Moon's surface gravity is 1/6 of Earth's. La luna tiene aproximadamente 1/4 diámetro de la tierra, 1/50 volumen de la tierra, y 1/80 masa de la tierra. La tierra es guardapolvo muy denso porque la tierra tiene una base grande de hierro y de otros elementos metálicos pesados, mientras que la luna tiene solamente una base pequeña, si tiene una base en todo. La gravedad superficial de la luna es 1/6 de la tierra.
