1. how much shorter is a day on the moon than on earth?

Explanation:

Step1: Know the length of a day on Earth and Moon

A day on Earth is approximately 24 hours. A day - night cycle on the Moon (lunar day) is about 29.5 Earth days.

Step2: Calculate the difference

Since the lunar day is longer than the Earth - day, we calculate \(29.5\times24 - 24\). First, \(29.5\times24=708\), then \(708 - 24 = 684\) hours.

Answer:

684 hours
