There wouldn't be any reflection from the Sun and you would be able to get a full image of the Earth from afar.

What is the name of the Crater tha t Chicago observatory has on the moon?

The crater on the Moon named after the Chicago Observatory is called the "Adams Crater." It was named in honor of the American astronomer John Couch Adams, who is known for his work in celestial mechanics and for predicting the existence of the planet Neptune. The Chicago Observatory, specifically the Yerkes Observatory, has a historical connection to astronomy and planetary studies.


What advantages would you have if you built an observatory on the lunar surface?

If you built an observatory on the lunar surface, there would be no atmosphere to battle in viewing what you needed to see. Therefore, as far as an observatory goes, one could see more due to the fact that the sky would be much more clear from the moon since it has no atmosphere than that of Earth, which does.


Would you feel heaviest on earth or on moon?

You would feel heaviest on Earth due to its stronger gravitational pull compared to the Moon. The gravitational force on the Moon is about one-sixth that of Earth, which would make you weigh less on the Moon than on Earth.


Is it impossible to skateboard on the moon?

Yes, it is impossible to skateboard on the moon due to the lack of atmosphere and gravity. Without gravity to keep the skateboarder grounded and friction from the lack of atmosphere, it would be difficult to maneuver and maintain balance on a skateboard.


If you stand on the moon can you see the earth from the moon and why?

It depends on where on the moon you are. If you are on the side of the moon facing Earth, yes. If you are on the side facing away, no. If you are on the Earth-facing side you can see Earth because there is nothing obstructing your view, and Earth is a good deal larger than the moon, which would make it a very prominent object in the sky. On the side facing away you cannot se Earth because the moon is blocking your view

Why would the moon make a good observatory?

The moon would make an excellent observatory due to its lack of atmosphere, which allows for unobstructed views of space and minimizes atmospheric distortion that can hinder observations from Earth. Its far side is shielded from Earth's radio noise, making it ideal for radio astronomy. Additionally, the moon's stable surface provides a solid foundation for large telescopes, enabling advanced astronomical research and observation of celestial phenomena without the interference found on Earth.


What are prospects of astronomical observation from the moon?

The main prospects of an observatory on the moon is that there would be less artificial light from human activity to cloud the visible light from stellar objects, and also, having no atmosphere means there would be less interference of the image that a telescope/observatory would be trying to see.
