Moons are always smaller than the planet that they orbit (move around). A smaller body always orbits around a larger body rather than the other way around because the larger body has more gravity. However, not all of the moons are smaller than all of the planets. There are seven moons in our solar system, including our own moon, that are larger than Pluto. Jupiter's moon Ganymede, the largest moon in the Solar System, and Saturn's moon Titan are both larger than Mercury and Pluto. Earth's moon, Jupiter's moons Callisto, Io, and Europa, and Neptune's moon Triton are all larger than Pluto, but smaller than Mercury.
Planets don't "see" anything. People (or at least, living organisms) see things, and so far the only living organisms that we know of all live here on Earth.
When humans go to Mars or the moons of Jupiter, it will be fairly easy for us to see the Earth. From Mars, the Earth will look very much like Venus.
its the comets are smaller than planets, moons, and asteroids. In order of size, usually comets < asteroids < moons < planets
Moons are smaller than the planets they orbit because they form from material left over from the planet's formation process. Due to gravity, this material coalesces to form the moon, which is smaller due to the limited amount of material available for its formation compared to the planet.
Asteroids are smaller than planets, while comets can vary in size but are typically smaller than planets as well. Moons are usually smaller than planets, but can be larger than some asteroids and comets.
No, in our solar system, there are no moons that are larger than the eight planets. The largest moon in our solar system is Ganymede, which is a moon of Jupiter, but it is still smaller than Mercury, the smallest planet.
No, a moon is typically smaller than a planet. Moons are natural satellites that orbit planets, so they are usually much smaller in size. Planets are large celestial bodies that orbit around a star, like our Sun.
Typically, moons are smaller in size compared to planets. Moons are natural satellites that orbit planets, while planets are celestial bodies that orbit stars. Size can vary significantly, with some moons being larger than small planets and vice versa.
Generally speaking moons are smaller than planets. The only exceptions are the two largest moons in this solar system, Ganymede and Titan, which are larger than Mercury, the smallest planet in the solar system.
The counterexample to the statement would be Mars. Mars has two moons, but it is smaller than Earth, which has two moons, and Venus, which has none. While it is no longer considered a planet, it is worth noting that Pluto, which is smaller than any of the planets, has five moons.

Because the moons are the ones revolvimg around the planets (only some planets have moons, not all). And besides, moons aren't in the center of the solar system. They're even smaller than the planets.
No, moons in the solar system are typically smaller than planets. Moons are natural satellites that orbit around planets, while planets are larger celestial bodies that do not orbit anything except their host star.
Moons are smaller than the planets they orbit because they form from material left over from the planet's formation process. Due to gravity, this material coalesces to form the moon, which is smaller due to the limited amount of material available for its formation compared to the planet.
none cause the moons smaller than earth
Asteroids are smaller than planets, while comets can vary in size but are typically smaller than planets as well. Moons are usually smaller than planets, but can be larger than some asteroids and comets.
Oh no, it is the outer planets which have the most moons. Terrestrial planets such as Earth have relatively few moons.
Moons are approximately spherical objects which orbit planets and are smaller than the planets that they orbit, although they are still relatively large objects (so an orbiting dust particle does not qualify as a moon). Since moons orbit planets, their motion around the solar system is controlled by the planets that they orbit; planets orbit the sun, and planets take their moons with them.
