Is there a telescope strong enough to see the flag on the moon?

Is there a telescope strong enough to see the flag on the moon?

Can you see an American flag on the moon with a telescope? Even the powerful Hubble Space Telescope isn’t strong enough to capture pictures of the flags on the moon. But the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, the unmanned spacecraft launched in 2009, is equipped with cameras to photograph the moon’s surface.

How high can a person jump on the moon?

Earth is 81 times as massive as the moon. In other words, you’d need to crush 81 moons together to equal the mass of our planet. Being much less massive, its attractive power is far less. On the moon you can jump 9 feet (2.7 meters) in the air from a standing position compared to just 1.5 feet (0.5 m) on Earth.

Does Moon have gravity?

1.62 m/s²

How high can u jump on Mars?

Gravity on Mars is only about 38% of Earth’s. So, if you weighed 100 pounds on Earth, you would only weigh about 38 pounds on Mars. And if you can jump one meter (3.3 feet) high on Earth, you would be able to jump 2.64 meters (almost 9 feet) high on Mars.

Why can a man jump higher on the moon?

The Moon’s gravity is weaker than the Earth’s — in fact it is 1/6th as strong as on Earth. When you’re on the Moon, you are 1/6th as heavy. So if you weigh 75 pounds on Earth, you would only weigh about 12 pounds on the Moon. But your muscles are as strong as they are on Earth, so you can jump 6 times farther!

What is the value of g on the moon?

approximately 1.625 m/s2

How much gravity is on the moon?

Why can astronauts jump higher on the Moon than on Earth?

Objects on the Moon weigh less than they do on the Earth because the gravitational field strength is much less. On the Moon, astronauts can jump higher and leap farther than on Earth. For a given gravitational field strength, the greater the mass of the object, the greater its weight.

Is there zero gravity on the moon?

Shown an image of one of the Apollo astronauts jumping high or seemingly floating across the lunar surface, some of my college students will reply that it is because there is no gravity on the moon. In reality, the force of gravity on the moon is only about one-sixth what it is on Earth, but it is still there.
