I thought it was 1/6th of that on Earth, but I guess less than 1/5 covers it if you are pedantic.:D. Anyway you are a lot closer than Nando:D.

sorry dev, i forgot you went there on holydays,

Remember it is also very difficult to get a sense of perspective when the pictures were not taken on earth.

This is a picture I have recently taken from my holidays

P1040344.jpg


You can see a hill, and some taller hills inbetween. The reality is that inbetween the second lot of hills is the Manai Straits water and the hills you see in the background are mountains almost 25 miles away. With a bit of photoshopping they could easily look like the mountains are just a mile away.

So when the hoax people say the perspective is all wrong well of course it is, they are photographs taken on something which is much much smaller than the earth.

The mountains you see in this picture are actually 45 minutes drive away from where the photograph was taken. Never ever believe photography because it does lie.
 
there you go, back to the moonfactor, what no pics of those from the moon could not project any stars near by ?

Hi Dev,
You are right it is around 1/6th that of earth. It is 17% of earth's gravity which is just under a 1/5th.

sorry, forgive my ignorance, how was that mesured unless you are there personally?or we assume that from earth we can tell preciaslly what the univers and stars along the milky way are correct in their mass? also if plannets have h2o surelly they have life forms of matter of some kind!
please advise,

I weighed it when I was last there:D.

It is calculated as shown in the following link:-

Try Wikipedia as well.

Hi Nando,

A lot of the work stems from the work of Newton on forces. Maths involved gives the estimates. Ideas and calculation about space from the Ancient Greeks onwards have all contributed to current thinking.

A lot of calculations have lead to giving a good idea what is around the universe and how far it is away.

To have life as we know it, water is involved. To get life you need a whole range of chemical reactions to take place. The right amounts of chemicals under the right conditions. Earth was in the right place (at the right time) for these reactions to take place.

A number of planets may have oxygen and hydrogen but there is no guarantee of life. It is rated that only a few planets in the universe may have life.
