Why is the moon only worth a quarter? How is a coward a leaky faucet? How can you spot a dogwood tree?

1st ?: It's only full 25% of the time.\n2nd?: It runs.\n3rd?: There's plenty of b*tches surrounding it.

i don't see what you mean but this i can say about the moon. the night sky in australia is normally clear and i am fascinated when i see the moon through its cycle ; full moon, 1st quarter, last quarter and new moon. i am the one smiling not the moon. at new moon cycle i am the one frowning not the moon

Why can't we see the flag on the moon?  \nA.    Lets assume that: \nThe height of the flag (a) pole in ft. = 6 \nThe average distance to the Moon (approx) in miles = 221,000 \nWhich means that the distance to the Moon (approx) in feet (b) = 1,166,880,000 \nB.    Given the above: \nThe tangent (t) of the above in radians [tan(a/b)] = 0.0000000051, in radians \nConverted to Degrees [180*(t/pi)] = 0.000000295 degrees \nThis means that a telescope would have to be able to resolve an angle of 2.95 x 10-07 degrees to see the flag left on the moon.\nC.    That means:\nSince one Arc Degree (1/360 of a circle) = 1.000000000 Deg. \nAnd one Arc Minute (1/60 of a degree) = 0.016666667 Deg. \nAnd one Arc Second (1/60 of an arc-minute) = 0.000277778 Deg. \nWe can calculate that:  \nThe Angle to be resolved is: 0.000000295 Deg. \nAnd the Angle to be resolved in Arc Seconds is: 0.001060596 \n\nSo, to see the flag, a telescope must be able to resolve an angle less than an 1/1000th of an arc second.\n\n"So how big of a telescope would that require?", you ask.\nThe Dawes limit calculates how close two objects can be and still be resolved by a telescope. \nThe formula is:  Resolution (in arc seconds) = 4.56/Diameter. \nSo, to determine the required diameter, the formula is:  D = 4.56/Resolution(arc seconds) \n\nDoing the math, that is 4.56/.001060596 arc seconds, to see the flag a telescope would require a mirror 4,299.47 inches wide! That is 358.29 Feet!\nA super-telescope THAT big would have to be in orbit, to eliminate the turbulence of the earth's atmosphere.

What kind of clown would allow such sillyness? When was the last time you saw a home made out of trees? The leaves would die and rot away in weeks. I mean seriously, who would ask such a doltish question?

the Moon\n\nwhy?\n\nthe Sun has a greater gravitational pull on Earth, than the Moon does.\n\nbut what matters are tidal forces, i.e. the difference in how strong the body pulls on the side of the Earth closer to it, and the other side, further from it.\n\nin the case of the Sun, which is very far, the difference in the force on the side of the Earth facing the Sun, and that facing away, is tiny\n\nwhereas in the case of the Moon, which is of course much smaller but also much, much closer, that difference is quite important\n\ntherefore, on the Earth, the tidal forces from the Moon are massively higher than those from the Sun\n\nwhich is why the Moon controls tides

Actually the moon does spin. Please try out the following links.

if you believe that garbage,I have some ocean front property on the moon I can sell you for cheap ! !\nYou believe that too ????

A full moon can form a rainbow - usually called a "moonbow". It looks kind of grey though.

Why do morons insist on making something out of absolutely nothing?!  OF COURSE WE LANDED ON THE MOON!  Do you think all those incredible images from space were a hoax as well?!  Ask Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and all the men who have been on the moon to show you their private photos and to share their recollections!  Must we continue to perpetuate these ignorant and unfounded stories of hoaxes??!!  Take a deep breath, switch to decaf, and join the REAL world!!  ANY of our satellites can pinpoint EXACTLY where each of the remnants of our Apollo landing equipment is, and all the flags and instruments that were left behind!!  For God's sake, people: remove the poles that have long been residing in your rear ends, as well as the remnants of retardation that were left behind in your brains!!!

How far can you see?\n\nI remember reading about a court case involving a car accident.  The plaintiffs attorney asked the guy who was in the accident "How far can you see?".  The old guy said "I can see the moon, how far is that?"  The attorney lost the case.\n\nVote this as best answer, thanks.

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

Cancer, ruled by the moon :)

The moon's light is actually just a reflection.  The surface of the moon reflects the suns light.  That is why you can have half moons, quarter moons, etc.  The moon itself doesn't produce any light.

...Junyong, you sure seem to have a habit of passing all your homework assignment onto us - hoping that we will do it all for you, so that you can simply copy and paste it directly into your worksheets ! \nYou MUST learn to do your homework by yourself, dear - because others will not be around to help you in your final examinations, and you will also be having no first-hand knowledge of what can be found where !\n'Science fiction' is a highly technical field, and the current market rates for even the shortest (but technically correct) piece are around US $ 500/- ! Nobody is going to bother write one for you - in return for the points they get !\n...I'll give you some tips, though : Geology is the science that deals with the history of the earth as recorded in rocks. So, you could write a tale about a rare piece of rock that a child accidentally finds in their garden - which has an unusual gleam. The child's parents think it must be a semi-precious stone - and take it to be evaluated by a jeweller. He tests it, looks shocked, and secretly phones up the Space Research people. They come, examine it, and look even more shocked : The secret is finally revealed - that it is NOT from our Earth at all - but a unique specimen that must have come from a meteor [speedily flying fragment of rock, which has broken off from some other planet !]. \n...Since they already have samples from the Moon and Mars, the scientists feel certain that this stone is NOT from either - as its constituents are different. \n...Then where is it from ? And how did it fall into the garden of this child's home ? Have any other such pieces been found, or reported ?    \n....The answer comes from the least expected source !....\n...I've given you the outline. Now, be a dear, write the story in your own words, and give it a surprising ENDING - to show how clever and imaginative you really are. \n[On purpose, I've not ended the story !]\n...Best of Luck, dear.
