Find problem:

Spherical decomposition

The deteroriation of spherical harmonics which are special functions defined on the surface of a sphere.

Find question:

By what means can spherical decomposition affect the topography and gravity of the Moon?

What is topography?

Study of the shape or features of a surface.

What is the gravitational field?

A way to measure how much gravity there is. Moon has a gravitational field of 1.6N/kg

Create hypothesis:

The spherical decomposition will affect the Moons surface but not its gravity.

Why will it affect the surface?

Why wont it affect the gravity?

The spherical decomposition is a physical deterioration defined on a spheres surface meaning that it can somehow maybe affect the physical parts of the Moons surface by slowly deteriorating it.

Gravity is an attracting force meaning that a physical composition or deterioration wont affect it.

Search what can affect gravity, a surface and what can spherical decomposition do.

Analyze and compare data and results

It did match the hypothesis.

It didn't match the hypothesis.

In what way? What part is correct?

In what way? What part is incorrect?

Decide final result.

Create app that will demonstrate the topographic features of the Moon.
