Tidal Coupling - Answer - The synchronized rotation of the moon such that only one face of the moon faces the earth at all times. Eventually, tidal coupling will slow down the Earth to the point that only one side of the Earth faces the moon at all times. Moon's Atmosphere and its effects on light - Answer - The moon does not have an atmosphere because of its low escape velocity. The mass of the moon is too light. As such, its gravity is not strong enough to prevent particles from flying...

What is the speed of light? Correct answer- Light can travel enormous distances under short periods of time. It is faster than any other phenomenon. It takes about 8 minutes for light to travel from the Sun to Earth. The speed of light in a vacuum is c=3x10^8 m/s. Why is light such an important tool for astronomers? Correct answer- Because light is how we learn about distant objects without travelling there. It is also a measuring took of astronomy. Light is a wave and a particle. How are ...
