Question
What was the purpose of the LCROSS mission? a. To generate an altitude map of the Moon's surface b. To determine if lava still flowed beneath the crust c. To determine if there is water ice buried in soil of the Moon's south pole d. To photograph geological features of the Moon e. To photograph geological features of the Moon Mercury is still geologically active today. True False The orbit of Mars is outside the Earth's orbit, which makes it easier to observe than Mercury or Venus. True False Mars' density is slightly higher than that of the Earth. True False Will the Moon's surface change over time? Why or why not?Explanation / Answer
1)To determine if there is water ice buried in soil of moon's south pole
LCROSS (Lunar Carter Observing and Sensing Satellite) it was launched in 2009 August to determine whether the moon can be colonized or not this satellite was a part of the mission to determine the moon
2)True
Mercury is small,hot and shrinking and still now it was a geologically active
3)true
It is true that earth's distance from the sun is 93 million miles and mars is greater about 140 million venus is inside the earth and its distance is 67 million miles, mercury is the closet of about 34 million miles out from sun.It means we can only see venus for a couple of hours before sunrise or sunset and mercury is the only over the horizon within few minutes of sun it's hard to see mars on the other hand (when it is on the same side of the sun as we are) can be up almost all night along
4)false
Earth has the higher density in the solar system at 5.514 gm/cm cube, Density of mars is 3.993 g/cm cube
