No, not from the earth. The pointers are not precise enough to keep the peam at that distance. In addition, the dust particles in the atmosphere would scatter the beam before it got there.

What time did the moon rise on Thursday?
there is no such thing as a moon it is just a huge comet and will hit the earth at 12:00 tonite
Why is the earth's surface not riddled with craters as is the moon?
The Earth has some craters, they are just rarer. The majority of meteors coming towards us disintegrate in the Earth's atmosphere (something the moon doesn't have), and the craters that are created by ones that get through are then subjected to winds, oceans, animals, foliage, all sorts of things that will make them less cratery. The moon doesn't have any of that, so any small meteoroid will hit it, and the crater stay there for a long, long time.
Is the meteor going to fall in the Earth on nov 9?
A meteor hitting the moon would affect life on Earth in a good way. By omission, the collision with the moon means the meteor doesn't get to strike the Earth --- and that is a very good thing.
Why does the moon have more surface craters than the Earth does?
I'm no expert but id guess that earth (being a larger target) has been hit more then mercury. (here is where the guessing ends) but mercury is devoid of water Ware as earth has lots. their was once a time where earth was covered with impact craters. but over rain eroded them away. mercury has no rain so the craters will stay their for millions of years
Does the moon and the earth both have craters?
Yes both bodies have craters but the Moon has many many more. That is because it has no protective atmosphere so that any old piece of rock of any size that hits the Moon will produce a crater (sometimes only a small one, other times a big one). The Earth's atmosphere causes all but the biggest meteors to burn up before they hit the ground, which means they have to be really large to cause any kind of crater. But the Earth has a few big craters.
Is the moon of earth?
An asteroid had hit Earth and knocked of a chunk that is now called the moon.
Can a laser beam from earth hit the sun?
I am pretty sure that's possible, but that won't achieve anything useful. It will just heat up the Sun's plasma a bit. It won't make any difference to the Sun.
Earth's moon hypothetically was a portion of earth when it was hit by an asteroid how was this possible?
if a meteor hit earth and a piece of earth (the moon) chipped off. earths gravitational pull could be sufficient to make the moon orbit around the earth.
How long would it take a laser beam to hit mars from earth orbit?
It depends on where Earth and Mars are in their orbits. Since Mars takes longer to orbit the sun than Earth does the distance between the two planets varies considerably. When Earth and Mars are closest a beam of light will take about 4 minutes to reach Mars from Earth. When they are farthest (on opposite sides of the sun) a bean of light would take about 12 minutes.
Could you hit a golf ball further on earth or the moon?
the moon
How do I beat optimus prime in transformers 2 on the Wii?
You destroy 5 things then a security system turns as a laser beam but avoid hitting it. Then you shoot him when he gets distracted the laser beam will hit him then the shield breaks, then the thing that gives him life breaks.Then shoot him or punch and do everything you can.
How long does the sun from the moon take to hit earth?
The rays from the sun take 8 minutes to hit the earth
Were the moon came from?
as other people say moon come from the earth so it means that when the earth was formed millions years ago something hit earth and a part of earth riped apart and that was the moon
What two objects have been hit by a meteor?
The earth and moon.
If the moon is hit with 2 nuks what will happen to the earth?
Nothing.
Why does the moon have moon rock?
because it is amalgamated debris from when a mars sized planet hit earth
What causes the moon to have such an uneven surface?
It was found out by scientists that the moon is uneven, because just like other places in the universe, they get hit by asteroids, or meteors. The Earth very rarely gets hit by them, but sense the moon is out in space, closer to them, the moon got hit, making craters in the moon, that's also why, (down here on Earth) it looks like there is a face on the moon, or "Man on the Moon."
