Compare and contrast the Moon and the moons of other planets.

Geography
1 answer:
frozen [14]3 years ago
7 0

The Moon of the Earth has some similarities, but also lot of differences with the other natural satellites in the Solar system.

The Moon is rocky, covered with dust, has lot of craters from asteroids and meteorites. Most of the planets in the solar system are actually gassy, frozen, and the craters tend to be very rare.

Compared to the planet around which it spins, the Earth, the Moon is actually very large, even though it is nowhere as large as some other moons in the Solar System. All the other moons tend to be much smaller in comparison the the planets around which they spin.

The Moon also has very low gravitational pull and very small mass for its size, and the reason for that is still not clear. All the other moons have gravitational pulls and masses that are expected by their size.

Define atmospheric wind shear, and explain how the existence of wind shear creates eddies and air pockets that cause atmospheric
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Wind Shear is the difference in direction and speed of the wind in the atmosphere within a specific distance.

Explanation:

Eddies are generated when  winds goes over a mountain creating vertical shear on the side that is sheltered from it, that creates air pockets causing atmospheric turbulence know as "rotors".

The change of direction and wind speed with altitude variation is called Vertical wind shear.

The change in wind speed together with a change in lateral position at a certain altitude is called Horizontal wind shear.

One scenario is a mountain with down-bursts and micro-bursts creating ice crystal plumes clouds that could warn pilots of wind shear, allowing then to avoid accidents.
