Tides are not only useful to fishermen, it is necessary information, so your fishing experience will be as productive as possible. Best fishing is when a tide is rising or falling (as there is movement), not when the tide is dead high or low. Knowing the habits of different fish is also essential information when fishing. Certain fish are also your bait and when the bait is running, the fish are running and the tide is running!
Only two of them landed on the moon. Neil Armstong and Buzz Aldrin walked. Michael Collins cut bait.
Stars. Some living organisms (fireflys, etc) Sorry - I thought that was "what" As for why - 1) if an object's temperature gets high enough then the escaping (heat) energy "glows" ... thus stars, volcanoes, etc. 2) some biochemical reactions produce a glow (with little or no heat) ... the why bother varies, to hunt (like a flashlight), to lure (act as bait), to sexually attract a mate.
There are more than 250 planetary satellites currently documented in thesolar system, including exactly one in orbit around the earth.Perhaps when you say "13 moons", you're asking about 13 full moons in onecalendar year.As pathetic as it must appear on a Q-&-A site to be responsible for definingone's own questions before answering them, we'll rise to the bait nonetheless.If the first Full Moon of the calendar year occurs by January 10th, then there'senough time remaining in that year for 12 more.Since there's no mathematical relationship between the phases of the moon andthe modern calendar, we can assume that over the long term of many years, thefirst Full Moon of the year is equally likely to occur on any one of the first 30 daysof January. So the chance of it arriving in the first 10 days must be 10 out of 30.Consequently and accordingly, we'll say that on the average, one year out of threehas 13 Full Moons.
