It is a question that leads us to know the proportion of one element to another. We have initially that the mass of the earth is of
m_E = 5.98*10^{24}kg
While the mass of the Moon is of
m_M = 7.35*10^{22}kg
The ratio between the two is given by the function
[tex]\frac{m_E}{m_M} = \frac{5.98*10^{24}kg}{7.35*10^{22}kg}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{m_E}{m_M} = 81.36[/tex]
This means that the mass of the earth is 81.36 times larger than that of the Moon.
