That's about -- of the real moon's mass!
Fun Facts About This Calculation
Real Moon Mass: The actual moon has a mass of about 7.342×10²² kg, which is roughly 1.2% of Earth's mass.
Swiss Cheese Density: The average density of Swiss cheese is about 0.95 g/cm³, compared to the moon's 3.34 g/cm³. That's why it would be much lighter!
Hole Impact: The holes in Swiss cheese typically account for 10-20% of its volume. This affects the overall mass when scaled up to moon size.
Tidal Effects: A cheese moon would have much weaker gravitational pull due to its lower mass, causing smaller ocean tides on Earth (only about 1/3 of current tides).
