The apparent wobbling by the Moon is called "libration"; you can find more information, for example, in the Wikipedia article on "Libration". The Moon doesn't really wobble; rather, from Earth we sometimes see different parts of the Moon, because (a) sometimes we see it more from the north, sometimes more from the south (since the Moon's axis is not exactly perpendicular to its orbit around Earth), and (b) since the Moon's orbit isn't exactly circular, but it rotates at a constant angular speed, as a result we sometimes see a bit more of the Moon's east side, and sometimes more of its western side. In total, we can see about 59% of the Moon's surface from Earth (at different times).

How do you fix wobble in a bicycle chain wheel?
First you need to determine if the wobble is from the chainwheel or from the bottom bracket. Then there are different procedures depending on if it's a sideways wobble or a bac/forth, up/down wobble. A sideways wobble can be adressed by bending the chainwheel back into plane using two wrenches/vise grips. One is used for bending, the other as a brace to stop the bend from going too far. a back/forth wobble can be fixed by undoing the chain ring bolts a little, and then, with a piece of wood, knock the chainring back into position before doing the bolts back up again.
What happens to an elevator during an earthquake?
Well, how i would think of it is that it would wobble around so much that the weight of the elevator would snap the rope that transports it up and down, and the elevator would fall to the bottom.
Why Does the Moon Appear in the Daytime?
Because it reflects enough Sunlight to be SEEN in the daytime. The Moon orbits the Earth once a month and depending on its position can be seen all night or day or part of each. The bright crescent always faces the Sun, even if the Sun is down. The Moon’s orbital path around the Earth seems to ‘wobble’ week by week, high and low in the sky because the Moon’s equator doesn’t line up with the Earth’s equator.

There are two reasons we way less on the moon; 1.)Since there is not much of an atmosphere up there, there are not hundreds of pounds pushing down on us. 2.)Another reason is since earth is bigger than the moon, Earth pulls us towards itself much more than a smaller object such as the moon would
