We know there is gold on the moon thanks to the rock samples brought back to Earth during the Apollo missions. Knowing how much gold exists is more challenging because it’s buried deep below the surface, and current technology limits our ability to mine this precious metal. Continue reading to discover how much gold could … Read more
Australia is the sixth largest country on Earth and has an impressive diameter that stretches further than the moon’s width at 4,000km compared to the Moon’s diameter of 3474.8km. But this doesn’t mean Australia is bigger than the moon because its land mass is flat compared to the moon’s rounded body as its surface is … Read more

The main differences between the Moon and Titan would be that Titan has an atmosphere very similar to that of Earth whilst the Moon has a very thin exosphere, Titan is the 2nd largest natural satellite whilst the Moon is 5th and the Moon is nearly 2 times as dense as Titan with a density … Read more
The main differences between Neptune and the Moon is that the Moon is a rocky terrestrial natural satellite that orbits Earth whilst Neptune is and ice giant with 14 natural satellites orbiting it, the 8th farthest planet from the Sun and wind speeds of 2,000 km/h, which means it has the fastest wind speeds amongst … Read more
The main differences between the Moon and Uranus is that the Moon is a rocky natural satellite that orbits Earth in an elliptical pattern and has a practically non-existent atmosphere whereas Uranus is an ice giant planet that orbits the Sun, has 27 moons with and an axial tilt of 98 degrees. There are numerous … Read more
The main differences between Saturn and the Moon is that Saturn is a yellow ringed gas giant that orbits the Sun with 82 natural satellites orbiting it whilst the Moon is a gray rocky natural satellite that orbits Earth. There are many other differences between Saturn and the Moon so continue reading for a more … Read more
The main differences between the Sun and Moon is that the Sun is the central entity in our solar system that all objects in its local region orbit, has a diameter of 1.39 million km and is the brightest entity in our solar system that produces energy for life to exist via nuclear fusion whilst … Read more
The main differences between Earth and Moon is that Earth is 71% water, is able to harbor life, is bigger with a diameter of 12,742km and is the terrestrial planet that the Moon orbits whereas the Moon is made mostly of igneous rock, is much smaller with a diameter of 3,474.8km and is the only … Read more
