What does the phrase it put a man on the moon mean?
Well when people were back in the 1800 hundreds one man spot a shape that looked like the man on the moon but it was so far away. So when someone says Man on the Moon it means you are far away
Why can we see craters on the moon so clearly from Earth?
In astronomical terms the moon is very close to Earth, much closer than anything else. Other astronomical bodies have similar cratering but are too far away for us to see them. Second, the moon is geologically dead. There are no processes on the moon's surface to destroy or bury the craters on the moon as has happened to Earth's craters.
Is the amount of the lighted side of the moon you can see the same during full and new moon phase?
No, during a full moon, we see the entire lighted side of the moon, whereas during a new moon, the lighted side of the moon is facing away from Earth so we see no lighted side at all.
When do we see the dark side of the moon?
Ah, the dark side of the moon isn't actually always dark, just not visible from Earth. You can see it when the moon is in its "new" phase, meaning the sun is illuminating the side away from us. Just like with anything in nature, there's beauty to be found in the hidden and mysterious places too. Just a happy little fact to brighten your day.
Why cant we hear the sun but we can see it?
Because the sun is so freakin far away..Can you hear your neighbors in their house? No but you can see them.
Why can you see the sun and the moon when they are so far away?
Because they are very big. This is the same reason that you can see a mountain from miles away, but need to be close to see an ant.

Why can you not stand on earth and see the far side of the moon?
The Moon is tidally locked to Earth; the Moon's "day" and the Moon's month are the same length. So the "near side" of the Moon always faces the Earth, and the "far side" always faces away from Earth.
Does the moon follow you when you walk or run?
The Moon stays in the same direction, because it is very far away. So, a movement by a few steps won't significantly affect the direction in which you see the Moon.
Why is the actual motion of the stars difficult to see.?
Because they are so far away. (The moon ... the closest natural body to Earth ... is moving in its orbit at something like 2,300 miles per hour relative to us, but even the moon is so far away that we don't notice its actual motion.)
How many moons did the moon have?
As far as anybody knows, the earth has always had one moon. If it ever had any more than that, it happened so long ago that it's been forgotten. ----------------------------- Another moon has recently beend discovered. Being so far away that noone can see it though....

Why can you see the moon in the day light?
The moon is continually orbiting the Earth, so at times it will be seen in daylight, because it happens to be on the side of the Earth that is nearer to the sun at that time, but far away from the sun not to be outshone.
How come a person on earth never gets to see the far side of the moon?
because the moon is a sphere and it is round like a ball so if you take a ball and hold it away from your face you cant see the other side. its just life i guess
How far away from Jupiter is the moon?
It is about 8000 miles away froom Jupiter
Why is their less gravity on your moon than earth?
because the moon it so far away that gravity can not reach it so u wont be able to stay on the ground of the moon for very long
Can you see dark side of the moon?
The Moon keeps the same side to the Earth. So there's a side you can't see from Earth. However it's best to call it the "far side" because that side does get lit by the Sun as the Moon goes round us. It's just that we never see it. I haven't deleted the answer below, but I don't think it really helps us much. The point is that all we see is the "near side". It's fully lit at Full Moon, but mostly it's partly lit by the Sun as the Moon orbits us.
