Responsibility to the Moon – From Rodney Collins (24)

Earth Moon Relationship

Observing all the planets and their moons in our solar system we see that the Earth and the Moon have a unique relationship.

What makes the Earth-Moon relationship unique is that the Earth only has one moon and that the Moon’s size compared to the Earth, i.e. the satellite to parent ratio is very high. So high that if we were to take the Sun and add up all the planets and moons in the solar system the comparison would not be as high as it is between the Moon and the Earth.

Putting Numbers to it

The total mass of all the planets in the solar system is one 800^th of the Sun’s mass, however the mass of the Moon is one 80^th of that of the Earth. Meaning the Earth is carrying ten times more weight than the Sun. In effect the Earth is much more burdened or weighed down than the Sun, indicating to us that the Earth’s physical circumstances are very constraining and limiting and that is karma.

A Huge Responsibility or Burden

In light of this the Earth is really taking on a large responsibility when it comes to the weight of the Moon. The Earth in fact supports the Moon at a very far distance making it more taxing for the Earth.

Putting Numbers to it

The distance the Moon is from the Earth is 30 times the diameter of the Earth, and it happens that only Saturn supports a moon (Japet) at this distance, however the size of Japet is much smaller than that of the Moon.

Conclusion

From this analysis of the physical relationship between the Earth and the Moon we can conclude that the Earth is the most burdened planet in the Solar System. Meaning we can say that is the most constrained and lacks the freedom that the other planets have.
