KOH, like NaOH, serves as a source of OH −, a highly nucleophilic anion that attacks polar bonds in both inorganic and organic materials. Aqueous KOH saponifies esters: KOH + RCOOR' → RCOOK + R'OH. When R is a long chain, the product is called a potassium soap.
This list is not comprehensive, and does not list the highest places on the Moon. Clementine data show a range of about 18,100 meters from lowest to highest point on the Moon. The highest point, located on the far side of the Moon, is approximately 6500 meters higher than Mons Huygens (usually listed as the tallest mountain).
Schematic illustration of the internal structure of the Moon. Several lines of evidence imply that the lunar core is small, with a radius of about 350 km or less. [5] The diameter of the lunar core is only about 20% the diameter of the Moon itself, in contrast to about 50% as is the case for most other terrestrial bodies.
Sunlight reflects off objects on the moon the same way it does here on Earth. So all of these images and videos include light reflecting from Earth, the lunar module, and from the dust on the surface.
What a Lunar Eclipse Looks Like on the Moon. There is only one cosmic phenomenon that could generate this seemingly red ring of fire around Earth: Screen Shot 2015 09 13 at 9.13.59 AM.
Surveyor 7 observes levitating dust, a phenomenon named Lunar horizon glow can be seen The thin lunar atmosphere is visible on the Moon's surface at sunrise and sunset with the lunar horizon glow [1] and lunar twilight rays, like Earth's crepuscular rays. This Apollo 17 sketch depicts the glow and rays [2] among the general zodiacal light [3] [4].
Despite its name, this full moon will look like any other, said Paul Hayne, a planetary scientist with the University of Colorado Boulder. Any full moon may occasionally take on a reddish hue when ...
The English proper name for Earth's natural satellite is typically written as Moon, with a capital M. [19] [20] The noun moon is derived from Old English mōna, which stems from Proto-Germanic *mēnōn, [21] which in turn comes from Proto-Indo-European *mēnsis 'month' [22] (from earlier *mēnōt, genitive *mēneses) which may be related to the verb 'measure' (of time).
