Scientific paper

Using the latest geodetic parameters of the moon a group of internal structure models are constructed and the dependence of the moon's core size on the calculated value of k2 is explored. Results indicate that the second deg Love number, k2 = 0.02664, of the lunar model 91-04 is near its observed value (0.027 +/- 0.006). With the same technique the static Love numbers from deg two to 30 are computed for the terrestrial planets, Mercury, Venus and Mars.
