	Ariel (moon) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ariel (air'-ee-əl, IPA /ˈɛəriəl/) is a moon of Uranus discovered on 1851-10-24 by William Lassell.
		The name "Ariel" and the names of all four satellites of Uranus then known were suggested by John Herschel in 1852 at the request of Lassell ([1]).
		Ariel's composition is roughly 70% ices (water ice, and possibly methane and/or carbon dioxide ices) and 30% silicate rock, and it appears to have regions of fresh frost in places.

	Ariel
		All of Uranus' large moons are a mixture of about 40-50% water ice with the rest rock, a somewhat larger fraction of rock than Saturn's large moons such as Rhea.
		Ariel's surface is a mixture of cratered terrain and systems of interconnected valleys hundreds of kilometers long (left, above) and more than 10 km deep.
		Ariel's surface is clearly relatively young (though older than some such as Enceladus); obviously some sort of resurfacing processes have been at work.

	Moon - Wikipedia
		The gravitional attraction that the Moon exerts on the Earth is the cause of tides in the sea.
		The Moon exhibits different phases as the relative positions of the Sun, Earth and Moon change, appearing as the full moon when the Sun and Moon are on opposite sides of the Earth, and becoming invisible as the new moon when they are on the same side.
		The term lunacy is derived from Luna because of the folk belief in the Moon as a cause of periodic insanity.

	The Moons of Uranus - Astronomy for Kids
		Although the moon is a little under three hundred miles in diameter, the ridge shown in the picture is taller than Mount Everest here on Earth.
		Ariel, with a diameter of almost 720 miles, is much larger than Miranda and is made up mostly of rocky material and ice.
		If this is the case, some of the ice in the moon may have melted and smoothed out the surface of the moon and then more recent geological activity may have formed the long, wide grooves we see in the picture.

		And both the Sun and the Moon exert a gravitation pull on both the Ocean and on the Earth itself, thus pulling both the ocean away from the Earth on the nearest side and the Earth away from the Ocean on the far side.
		The gravitational pull of the moon is strongest against the densest material - which happens to be the center of the earth not the water closest to the moon.
		The earth, because of the gravitational pull of the moon, is a nominal ellipse, with the extremeties being in line with the moon.

		The smallest moon is Deimos, at Mars, only seven miles in diameter, although its size now is rivaled by the small shepherd moons discovered by Cassini at Saturn and by others yet to be counted and named in the rings around Jupiter, Saturn and other giant gas planets in the outer Solar System.
