Instead of the moon
Categories: Space
By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/instead-of-the-moon.htmlThe Moon is approximately 386,242 kilometers from Earth. Our moon, of course, is rather big. Moreover, it is large enough to become a full-fledged planet, of course, if it revolved around the sun, and not around the Earth. The moon is a quarter of the Earth's diameter. Only Pluto has a larger moon relative to the size of the planet it orbits. We invite you to see what other planets would look like if they were in the place of the Moon.

1. So, the Moon, as we see it quite often.
2. Mercury is the smallest planet in the solar system. It looks like the moon in size.
3. Mars. The red planet is almost twice the size of the moon, so it would look bigger in the sky above the Earth.
4. Venus is three and a half times the size of the Moon and six times brighter. This is the hottest planet - its surface temperature reaches 400 degrees.
5. Neptune is 14 times larger than the Moon. It would look like such a huge blue sphere in our sky.
6. Uranus is even bigger and would look like this.
7. Saturn is 35 times larger than the Moon, and its rings would stretch almost from horizon to horizon.
8. Jupiter is 40 times larger than the Moon. It is so large that we would not be able to see either the north or south poles of the planet.
