Which takes more fuel from Earth to moon or moon to Earth?

Yes, a spacecraft consumes more fuel in going from the Earth to the Moon than it takes for the return trip. In going from the Earth to the Moon, the spacecraft has to overcome the gravitational pull of the earth. So, more fuel is consumed in going from the Earth to Moon.

How much fuel does it take to launch from the Moon?

It weighed 23,000 lb (11,000 kg) at launch, 78\% of which was the propellant needed for powered descent and landing. The ascent stage didn’t have to land (though it helped out), that was the descent stage’s job.

Why is it easier to launch a rocket from the Moon?

Since the moon is smaller ( has less mass) than the earth, a rocket sitting on the moon would experience much less gravitational pull than if the same rocket were sitting on the earth. the rocket engine would therefore need to generate far less thrust energy to equal the gravitational pull on the moon and lift off.

Why is the rocket required to return to Earth from the Moon so much less massive than the rocket required to get to the Moon from Earth?

Moreover, the Moon lies at the outer edge of Earth’s gravity well, which means a rocket taking off from the Moon doesn’t have to work against Earth’s gravity as well. As a result, rockets need almost 5x less energy to lift off from the Moon’s surface than from Earth’s.

Is it easier to take off from the moon?

It’s easier to take off from the moon because the moon is less massive and has no air. Note: The moon is pretty lumpy, which means its gravity is pretty lumpy because the lumps (like mountains) pull you sideways when you pass them.

Which requires more fuel a rocket going from earth?

A rocket going from the Earth to the Moon would require more fuel. Since the Earth has more mass than the Moon, the Earth will exert a larger gravitational force on the rocket than the Moon would (things weigh less on the Moon).

How much Delta-V is needed for Mars?

An average Hohmann transfer orbit to Mars requires 259 days and a delta-v of 3,9 km/s. An hyperbolic orbit depending on aerocapture for braking can reduce this to 90-150 days depending on the year of travel.

Does the Moon move around the Earth in a revolution?

Yes. The Moon takes about one month to orbit Earth (27.3 days to complete a revolution, but 29.5 days to change from New Moon to New Moon). As the Moon completes each 27.3-day orbit around Earth, both Earth and the Moon are moving around the Sun.

Why is the moon so important to our planet?

The Moon’s presence helps stabilize our planet’s wobble and moderate our climate. The Moon’s distance from Earth is about 240,000 miles (385,000km). The Moon has a very thin atmosphere called an exosphere.

What is the distance between the Earth and the Moon?

The Moon is Earth’s satellite and orbits the Earth at a distance of about 384 thousand km (239 thousand miles) or 0.00257 AU.

How long does it take to get to the new moon?

It takes a little more than two additional days for sunlight to hit the Moon in the same way it did on day zero. This is why it takes 29.5 days to get from new moon to new moon, even though it doesn’t take quite that long for the Moon itself to travel once around Earth.
