Our eyes can only see as far as the horizon, due to the curvature of the Earth. For instance, an observer standing on a hill 100 feet (30 m) in height, their horizon is at a distance of 12.2 miles (19.6 km). Obviously, without the restriction of a horizon, we can look out far into space on a dark night and see our moon and many stars and planets with the naked eye - even better with a telescope.
What else can I help you with?
Can a moon have moons?
Yes, it is theoretically possible for a moon to have moons, which are sometimes referred to as submoons or moonmoons. However, the conditions required for a moon to capture and maintain a moon of its own are rare and complex, which is why we have not observed any confirmed cases in our solar system.
Do any of the Solar System planets share a moon?
No. It is impossible for that to occur.
What fraction of the earth's gravity exists on the moon?
Gravity on the moon has exactly the same characteristics and behavior as it has on Earth and everywhere else. It causes a pair of forces between any two objects, that are proportional to the product of the objects' masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. Because of the moon's much smaller mass, the force between the moon and an object on its surface is only about 16% as strong as the force between the Earth and the same object when the object is on the Earth's surface.
Where does Venus set if Moon is in the first quarter?
Every object visible in the sky sets in the west.The phase of the moon has no relationship to and no effect onthe motion of any other natural object in the sky.
The distance in km from any planet to its moon?
The distance from a planet to its moon can vary greatly depending on the specific planet-moon pair. For example, the distance from Earth to its moon is approximately 384,400 km, while the distance from Mars to its moon Phobos is only about 9,378 km. Each planet-moon system has its own unique characteristics that determine the distance between them.
Is the distance of the moon from the earth the same as it complete the revolution?
The distance between Earth and Moon changes. Like any object going in an orbit around another object, the Moon moves around Earth in an ellipse, not in an exact circle.

What happen if the movement between earth moon sun doesn't occur properly?
The movement of any astronomical object is governed by physical laws. It is therefore impossible for them not to move 'properly'.
Do any of the Solar System planets share a moon?
No. It is impossible for that to occur.
Does moon have any gravity at all?
Yes. The gravity on the surface on the moon is about 1/6 what it is on Earth.
Gravity on the moon is?

How much do objets weigh on the moon than the earth?
Any object on the moon weighs 1/6th of what it weighs on Earth. For e.g., a 6kg object will weigh only 1kg on the moon.
What are the effects of a supernova on earth tides?
I don't think it should have any effect. The tides are caused by nearby objects, especially the Moon and the Sun. The tidal forces are (approximately) inversely proportional to the thirdpower of the distance, so although the Sun attracts us stronger than the Moon, the Moon has a greater influence on the tides. A far-away object should have no noticeable effect on the tides.I don't think it should have any effect. The tides are caused by nearby objects, especially the Moon and the Sun.

Does a rock weigh more than a moon?
No. Any object on the moon would weigh about a sixth of what it does on Earth.
How is the moon a satellite to earth?
A satellite is any object that is in orbit around another object. The moon is a natural satellite of the Earth because it orbits around the Earth.
How far an object travels at any one time?
