The Moon is 1/400th the size of the Sun but also 1/400th the distance from Earth, resulting in the Moon and the Sun being the same size in the sky, a coincidence not shared by any other known planet-moon combination.

Folks are getting aligned in Gary Carlson's IAC - Information Architecture Conference workshop on Enterprise Taxonomy right now!

Here is a 2nd fascinating fact about the Moon: 🌕 Gravity Difference: The gravity on the Moon is about one-sixth of that on Earth. This means that objects weigh less on the Moon compared to Earth. For example, if you weigh 60 kilograms (approximately 132.28 pounds) on Earth, you would weigh only about 10 kilograms (approximately 22.05 pounds) on the Moon. #moon #moonfacts #moonfascination #moonlove

In Moon sign chart, Moon sign lord is the most important planet, not the Moon. Kendra or the angle houses are very important in Moon sign chart.

Did you know, Without the Moon a day on Earth would Last for only 6 to 12 Hours? Click here to know more:- https://lnkd.in/gK7nCksW #MoonFacts #EarthScience #LunarCycle #SpaceTrivia #CelestialBodies #FascinatingFacts #LinkedInTips #LinkedInStrategy

Each particle on the moon via E has a stable |L| relative to Sun and moon, |dL/dt| relative to Earth?

This month’s Full #Moon on February 24 is known as the #SnowMoon. It’s also near its farthest point from Earth—apogee—making it a Micro Snow Moon. A Micro Full Moon’s angular size is 12.5%–14.1% smaller than a Super Full Moon, and 5.9%–6.9% smaller than an average Full Moon. https://ow.ly/IRUN50QGIa2

How to transform from earth to moon in next 30 days..

This is a detailed photo of the Sun (zoom in!) Earth is about the size of that black spot in the middle. The speed of light is around 186,000 miles per second. It takes just over 8 minutes for the sun's light to reach us, which means we never see the sun in its current form.. always in the past. For context, it takes the light from Neptune (the furthest planet in the solar system) over 4 hours to reach earth. Our other nearest star is Proxima Centauri. It takes over 4 years for its light to reach earth. The furthest star visible to earth is so far away that it has taken its light nearly 13 billion years to reach us. That means that we are viewing it back at when it was around 7% of the universe's current age, so we are literally looking back in time to around 900 million years after the big bang, which happened around 14 billion years ago. This kind of thing really makes me think about how unlikely it is that I exist, today. It is so truly remarkable. [photo source unknown]

That's fascinating! The Moon is indeed slowly moving away from Earth at a rate of about 3.8 centimeters (1.5 inches) per year. This process is called lunar recession. As the Moon moves away, the length of Earth's day is increasing. This is because the Moon's gravitational pull causes the Earth's rotation to slow down. As the Moon recedes, its gravitational influence weakens, allowing Earth's rotation to speed up. However, the effect is very gradual. It's estimated that it would take about 50 billion years for the day to lengthen to 25 hours due to lunar recession. Additionally, other factors like the Earth's slightly ellipsoidal shape and the effects of the tides also influence the length of our day. So, while we might eventually have a 25-hour day, it's not something we'll experience anytime soon!
