      That’s how they can afford the second moon space station.

      This is actually a conspiracy theory. Some people think there are two moons; the real one and a fake one that’s actually a space station. They think that’s the reason the moon rises and sets twice a day.

    I’m going to take a swing at the moon reflects a relatively uniform spectrum of light from the sun but our varied atmospheric conditions can alter the refraction of that light.

    Well, if you leave it out in the rain, you’ll start to se corrosion appear. But a little vinegar and baking soda should clean it right up.

    Idk where that purple one is coming from, though.

    part of the moon’s light is not only reflected from the sun but also earth. there are also lots of variations of what dust or other weather that the sky contains.

      Because we automatically compare the moon with objects on the horizon and they makes it look big in our mind, but if you objectively compare it to the entire sky it’s small.

        I don’t think that’s all. A friend and I spent half an hour debating whether an object was the moon or a huge billboard, because it was aligned with a building on the horizon. But I took a picture and it wasn’t nearly big enough to span the roof of the building we were looking at.
