Answer:
[tex]Both \: the \: moon \: and \: earth \: are \: in \: \\ the \: shape \: of \: spheres. \\ Surface\: area \: of \: a \: sphere \: of \: radius \: 'r' \\ [/tex]
Let d1 be the diameter of the moon and d2 and be the diameter of the earth.Let r1 be the radius of the moon and r2 be the radius of the earth.
[tex]given \: d1 = \frac{1}{4}d2 \\ = > 2r1 = \frac{1}{4} ×2r2 \\ =>r1 = \frac{1}{4}×r2 \\ Now, \: ratio \: of \: \: their \: surface \: areas \: is: \\ = s1: s2 \\ = r {1}^{2}: r {2}^{2} \\ = {1}^{2 } : {4}^{2 } \\ =1:16[/tex]
hope it helps you
