What are the two main factors contributing to the Moon's brightness?

Closeness to Earth and average reflectivity

Surface texture and composition

Proximity to Sun and surface color

Why do we always see the same side of the Moon from Earth?

The Moon's rotation and revolution periods are equal

The Moon rotates faster than Earth

Earth's gravity prevents the Moon from rotating

What happens to the Moon's visibility during its daily motion?

It rises in the east and sets in the west

It remains stationary in the sky

It rises in the west and sets in the east

It only appears during certain seasons

The Co-formation Theory proposes that:

The Moon and Earth formed simultaneously 4.5 billion years ago

The Moon and Earth formed at different times

The Moon was captured by Earth's gravity

According to modern scientists, why is the Capture Theory considered unlikely?

The amount of energy loss required would be too great

The Moon's density doesn't match Earth's

The Moon is moving away from Earth

The theory conflicts with Apollo mission findings

What major problem exists with the Co-formation Theory?

The Moon's density compared to Earth's

The Fission Theory states that:

The Moon formed from Earth ejecting material into space

The Moon formed from captured asteroids

The Moon and Earth formed separately

The Moon formed from a collision

What evidence from the Apollo missions supports the Giant Impact Theory?

Moon rocks indicating the Moon was once part of Earth

Evidence of recent volcanic activity

What shared problem do both the Co-formation Theory and Fission Theory have?

They can't explain the density difference

They can't explain the Moon's current location

They can't explain the Moon's size

They can't explain the Moon's orbit

Compare the tide heights of the half-moon and new moon phases at 16:00. Which phase has a higher tide, and by how much?

Half-moon has a higher tide by 1.35 meters

New moon has a higher tide by 1.35 meters

Half-moon has a higher tide by 0.79 meters

New moon has a higher tide by 0.79 meters

The leading theory of the Moon’s formation is the Giant Impact Hypothesis. How has evidence from the Apollo missions helped scientists understand the Moon’s origin?

By providing rock samples that show similarities to Earth's mantle

By discovering water on the Moon

By finding evidence of volcanic activity

By measuring the Moon's gravitational field
