    Lunar theory includes: the background of general theory; including mathematical techniques used to analyze the Moon's motion and to generate formulae and algorithms for predicting its movements; and also.

  2. Students learn about the moon's very thin atmosphere by calculating its total mass in kilograms using the volume of a spherical shell and the measured density. [Grade: 8-10 | Topics:volume of sphere, shell; density-mass-volume; unit conversions] [Click here]

  5. Jan 4, 2020 · The first to calculate (or, estimate) the mass of the moon was probably Newton himself. As mentioned by Baso, Newton used measurements of tides to find the ratio of the lunar and solar masses. This is realised through the tidal force equation: $$ f_{S} = \frac{2G M_S M_E}{R_E^3},$$ $$f_{M} = \frac{2G M_M M_E}{R_E^3}. $$

  6. The Mass of the Moon. On July 19, 1969 the Apollo-11 Command Service Module and LEM entered lunar orbit. The orbit period was 2.0 hours, at a distance of 1,737 km from the lunar center. Believe it or not, you can use these two pieces of information to determine the mass of the moon.

  7. Nov 7, 2019 · Given lunar mass, or equivalently surface gravity acceleration, and the seismic velocity model, the Adams–Williamson equation is integrated from top to bottom to compute density. To compute \(V_{P}\) from the density model, we employ Birch’s law with constant parameters (\(a\) and \(b\)) over the mantle.

  8. Mathematical modeling of the lunar interior, and problems involving estimating its total mass and the mass of its atmosphere. Exploring the Lunar Surface (2013) - [6.0 Mby, 10 Problems] An introduction to the appearance of the lunar surface using a zoom-in from the full moon to the Apollo-11 landing area.
