MOON FACTS YOU WON'T REMEMBER 5 MINUTES FROM NOW.... THE MOON IS ALMOST ONE-THIRD EARTH'S DIAMETER. THAT WOULD BE LIKE JUPITER HAVING A MOON THE DIAMETER OF NEPTUNE! THE DULL, CHALKY, ROCKY MOON REFLECTS MORE LIGHT THAN GLOSSY, SHINY SEA WATER! IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT, THE MOON'S SURFACE IS HOT ENOUGH TO MELT A SODA BOTTLE! PLUTO WAS CONSIDERED A PLANET, EVEN THOUGH OUR MOON IS 46% BIGGER WITH MORE THAN DOUBLE THE GRAVITY! WEIGH 600LBS? DON'T DIET, GO TO THE MOON INSTEAD! YOU'LL WEIGH A HEALTHY 100LBS THERE! THE MOON SPINS, IT JUST HAPPENS TO SPIN AT THE SAME SPEED AS THE EARTH; WANT TO GRAB A HANDFUL OF MOON DUST? JUST GRAB A HANDFUL OF BROKEN GLASS. MUCH CHEAPER AND SAME EFFECT! WORK DAY TOO LONG? BLAME THE MOON! A DAY ON EARTH USED TO BE A FEW HOURS LONG BEFORE THE MOON APPEARED!
