Good grief -- I've only been visiting this site for a month, and this is about the fifteenth time someone has asked this same ludicrous question.\n\nYes, we landed on the moon. \nYes, we went back several times. \nYes, we left things on the moon that can still be seen today. \nYes, we left a flag on the moon -- but it wasn't flapping in the breeze in the famous photo: its momentum after being unfurled has kept it moving in the absence of anything to slow it down.\n\nYes, we brought back samples of dust and rocks that have been studied for nearly 40 years. And there's nothing like them anywhere on Earth.\n\nNo, we haven't gone back since the landings because there are no economically viable reasons to do so in this modern era of cost-effectiveness and the bottom line driving science. But just because we haven't been back doesn't mean we were never there in the first place.\n\nThe U.S. was in a major competition with the Soviets to prove our scientific superiority. If we'd never landed on the moon, and it was all a sham, do you think the thousands of NASA employees would be able to keep the secret? Do you think every other nation in the world would remain complicit in the "greatest hoax ever perpetrated"?\n\nIsn't there a FAQ on Yahoo Answers that could put this baby to rest??  I can't believe that people still think this was some kind of hoax!

Correlation like more women go into labor during a full moon.\n\nMeans nothing. Stop trying to find something that ain't there.

There was a full moon out June ll.. what you saw was a reflection (either in water, or a mirror image) of the full moon. Are you into astrology? The war in the sky sounds like a zodiac of sorts. What was involved in the war? (What is going on around you? any turbulence? it's merely a reflection of this..) the reflection thing.. get it? mirror/water.. lol. it's easy! lol

"The moon does not circle the Earth once a day. The Earth circles the sun once a day. The Moon orbits the Earth about twice every 24 hours. That's why we have tides (high and low)."\n\nSAY WHAT?  Not even close.  There are junior high science teachers weeping over this "answer".\n\nThe earth rotates once a day on its axis.  That is the definition of a day - the time it takes for a planetary body to rotate once on its axis. \nThe earth circles the sun once a year - actually 365.24 days (which is why we have leap years).  That is the definition of a year - the time it takes for a planet to orbit the sun.  As you can tell, planetary years are longer or shorter depending on the distance from the sun.\nOur earth's axis is tilted.  The northern hemisphere is closer to the sun in the summer and farther in the winter.  This is how we get seasons.\n\nThe moon orbits the earth once every twenty-eight days, give or take an afternoon. The phases of the moon are caused by it being in a slightly different position everyday relative to the sun.  \nThe moon does cause tides - its gravitational pull causes the oceans to bulge out towards the moon.  However, there is a matching bulge directly opposite the moon.  THAT is why we have two high tides and two low tides a day.  In addition, the sun exerts a lesser pull, which interacts with the moons pull.\n\nSorry about that - had to correct the flagrant misinformation there.\n\nAs for your question - it is a weird effect, isn't it?  Especially when the moon is closer to a new moon.\n\nWhat happens is that our atmosphere scatters the light from the sun so that our sky is quite bright.(Why is the sky blue? has been discussed here many times).  However, the moon is reflecting enough light so that it is brighter than the surrounding sky and we see it.\n\nWhen the moon is less than full, there is very little light reflected off of the dark side of the moon (what light is reflected is earthshine!)  This light is not bright enough to outshine the sky.\n\nThink of a white sheet (in a dark room) that images are being projected onto.  The sheet will look opaque until someone shines a light onto it from the back that is brighter than the image projected from the front.  That is the basic effect that we are getting - the atmosphere is a sheet, with the sun and the moon both shining on to it.

The Moon gets layed every evening? Dang Moon gets better action than me.

You can even see the Moon in the daytime because it is big and brightly lit by the Sun. The surface of the Moon is about as reflective as an asphalt road--rather dark but not totally black. When you look at the Moon, you are seeing the light which reflects off it. This is not nearly as bright as the Sun, but it is up to 100,000 times as bright as the brightest nighttime star. \nDuring the day, the brightness of the sky washes out the light from the stars: a region of the sky including a bright star is only very slightly brighter than a region of the sky without a bright star, so your eye cannot notice the difference. However, the region of the sky containing the Moon is much brighter, so you can see it. You can also sometimes see Venus during the day if the conditions are right and you know exactly where to look, but anything dimmer is lost. \n\nIt might be useful to think of the sun as a large light bulb, and the moon as a large mirror. There are situations where we can't see the light bulb, but we can see the light from the bulb reflected in the mirror. This is the situation when the moon is out at night. We can't see the sun directly because the earth is blocking our view of it, but we can see its light reflected from the moon. However, there are also situations where we can see both the light bulb and the mirror, and this is what is happening when we see the moon during the day. You can explore this for yourself with a light and a hand mirror. Depending on which way you face (away from the light or sideways to the light) you can see either just the mirror, or both the light and the mirror. \n\nI hope this helps!

The moon is often visible during the daytime! If it's not visible during the daytime where you are, it's visible from somewhere else on Earth.

I'd see a waning gibbous moon.\n\nOur sentiments play tricks on us to make us think the moon is rarer than it used to be.  But it's been revolving around the earth for a very long time.

When the light from the sun hits the moon, it is reflected to us which causes "Moonlight". This is the same light and source that allows us to see a bit of the shadows on the moon. \n\nThe suns and moons position in relation to one another is also what gives us the phases of the moon.  When the moon is directly opposite of the sun (with Earth not being directly in the line of sight) this gives us our full moon. \n\nIn short, there is only one type of light on the moon, the suns light hitting the moons surface.

Neat Question!!!!\n\nHere's your answer:\n\nIf the Moon disappeared then the tides would reduce in strength by about two thirds. There would still be tides, because the Sun causes tides, too (see the Conjunctions Page). \n\nThe Moon keeps the angle between the rotation axis of the Earth and the plane of the orbit of the Earth within a fairly narrow range, so that the strength of the seasons cannot differ too much from its current value. If the Moon disappeared, then the inclination of the rotation axis of the Earth would vary much more over periods of thousands of years and could get much further away from the upright position, with corresponding greater differences between summer and winter, and hence with great influence on the climate, such as Mars has experienced (without any large moon). See http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=1993Natur.361..615L, http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=2002A%26A...384..689E and http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0112399 (for http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=2001EM%26P...85...61B). \n\nI've heard of kinds of animals that synchronize some rhythms of their lives with the phases of the Moon, and the sudden disappearance of the Moon could cause trouble for them. I believe I've heard of some kinds of turtles that come to lay their eggs on the beach at a certain Full Moon, and that the nightlife of deer and similar animals takes the phase of the Moon into account. In any case, fishermen and hunters seem to take the phase of the Moon into account, but perhaps that is because they would like to be able to see something at night. I am not a biologist, fisherman, or hunter, so I do not know the details of this. \n\nIt is highly unlikely that the Moon will just disappear. Only the very close passage of a celestial object of the size of a planet could wrench the Moon from the grip of the Earth's gravity, and such an event could also change the orbit of the Earth itself markedly, so then the disappearance of the Moon might not be the most important thing. Calculations of the future of the orbits of the planets show that such an event will not happen during the coming thousands of millions of years (at least not with one of the other planets of our Solar System as the disturbing object). See http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=2002MNRAS.336..483I and http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=1996CeMDA..64..115L.

Oh no, you've figured out my hoax!!! You busted me, you're right, its not round. Sorry, I get silly sometimes. If you are at a position when the moon passes directly perpendicular to you relative to the sun's position then you will see a perfect half lit moon. you can simulate this with a big right triangle by taking a golf ball or some other ball and placing it at the  90 degree corner and placing a flashlight at one of the other corners pointing directly at the ball. Now line up your sight from the third corner and you should see a perfect half lit ball. :)

No tides (not true) \nNo intertidal zone (not true) \nNo eclipses \nDarker skies for astronomy \nSome animals affected (such as salmon and turtles) \nDifferent night creatures \nNo gravity (not true) \nMore impacts on Earth by space debris \nNo lunar calendar \nNo lunar phases \nWorse surfing \nDarker nights \nDifferent name for "lunatics'' \nNo lunar fables (werewolves and so on) \nNo nearby place for astronauts to go \nA lost vehicle for romance \nA lost theme for love songs \nNo Man in the Moon \nThe day would be eight hours long. \nThe winds would be much stronger.\nhttp://www.astrosociety.org/education/publications/tnl/33/33.html\n\nFYI \nThe Moon is moving away from the earth which is why the question is in theory with scientists..The Moon is receding at 2 inches per year\n\nAs for your unintelligent insult on which you are trying to be supreme, you have no CLUE...\n\nIn 1897 George Darwin, son of Charles, suggested that tides are causing the Moon to spiral AWAY FROM US. His hypothesis was CONFIRMED in 1969 after the Apollo 12 astronauts placed corner reflectors (like the red and orange ones on a car) on the Moon. By firing lasers from Earth to the Moon, off the corner reflectors, and back again, astronomers measured the round-trip time and, hence, the distance to the Moon. Repeating the experiment over several years, they confirmed Darwin's prediction. The Moon is receding at 2 inches per year.\n\nSo instead of trying to sound politically correct find facts to the basis of your answer DORK..\nSo here is an explaination of why our days would be 8 hrs long.Earth loses angular momentum because the high tide closest to the Moon is trying to get back directly underneath the Moon, while the high tide farthest from the Moon is trying to get as far away from the Moon as possible. Consequently, the high tides flow westward, and in so doing, they encounter continents and islands. The water pushes against these land masses, which, because of rotation, are moving eastward. The net result is that the eastward rotation is retarded by the westward motion of the tides -- slowing down the rotation. The day is getting longer by about 0.002 seconds per century. It doesn't sound like much, but over billions of years it adds up. Not that you would understand..\n\nNone of your previous questions have been intelligent..

The brightness from the moon is the reflection from the sun, the moon itself doesn't emit any light.  It appears bright because it is close to us, if the stars we see at night were as close as the moon they'd be so bright we'd all be blind, not that it would matter as we'd all be incinerated as well.\n\nI don't really think it's worthy of worship, it's nothing more than a large rock floating around in space - a bit like out own large rock.\n\nAnd the Bible does forbid the worship of anything other than God Himself.

Not havieng a moon would not have affected the lengh of the day.  The moon doesn't play an important part in the lengh of the day anyway.

The moon although is a sphere, but it is so far away that it appear a flat round disk. there is nothing strange about this and if people are not educated that moon is a spherical rock, they'd probably think it's a round flat disk.\n\nBut for me, I see it as a hole in the ceiling.

If you can see the moon from both points at the same time then the phase of the moon will be the same.\n\nIf however the moon is visible in Britain, but still below the horizon in Australia, then the phase will have very slightly changed by the time the moon rises in Australia.
