Is there any moon in the solar system made up of Diamond?
Question:
Answer:
If you mean completely made of diamond (tetrahedral carbon), then no. There may be some sections of rocky moons where impacts from smaller object have created diamonds through heat and pressure but probably never enough to convert an entire moon to diamond or diamondoid material.
However, a number of years ago there was an article published in Science (I think) that discussed what happens to carbon that is disassociated in Jupiter's atmosphere. The author suggested that this carbon would fall to a point within the planet where the temperature and pressure would be sufficient to form a diamondoid layer or regions.
I want to say the author is Frank Drake but it's been a number of years since I've seen the article.
yes. ours. thats why its so shiny:)
yes there one
yep the moon we see every day up in the sky is made of diamond ..have a word with Niel Armstrong
According to Carl Sagan there is a planet out there about the same size as earth,and is solid diamond.
why should we care so we can blow it up and collect the diamonds and have a WWIII over rights to who owns them?...and if there is it would be virtually impossible to reach it
Yes there is, make sure you go to school tomorrow and tell your science teacher that you are sure there is one becuase you read it on the internet.
No. Some asteroids do have diamonds (from impacts probably) and some moons probably do as well as at least one planet (I think it might be named Earth).
