Question: Why is the moon sometimes big and orange and sometimes small and white?

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ON MOON-SIGHTING
Answer: The moon travels in an orbit around the earth in an oval path, so its distance from earth varies. When it is closest to the earth it looks bigger. The colors variation is due to variation in the pressure, temperature, and humidity in the atmosphere, which goves more pronounced affect for a viewer when the moon is near the horizon.

Question: If the moon is big, does it mean it is a second day moon?

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ON MOON-SIGHTING
Answer: As most of us know, the moon goes through several phases. The months of the Islamic Calendar are based on sighting of the new moon every month. In Astronomy, a new moon means "when the moon of the previous month disappears (i.e. the moon goes from a slightly visible crescent to a completely black sphere that is impossible to be seen)." Remember, new moon is dark and invisible. About 17-23 hours after the new moon, a thin crescent becomes visible on earth; this is visible new moon.

How big or small of a part can one measure?

For big examples, stresses have been measured in 166 mm (6.5 inch) thick plate (reference 22) and 140 mm (5.5 inch) diameter solid cylinders (reference 29). For small examples, I have measured stress profiles through the thickness of 2.9 mm thick (0.1 inch) thick plate (unpublished).

Question: Is it possible to see the astronomical new moon (invisible moon) using telescope?

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ON MOON-SIGHTING
Answer: The astronomical new moon happens when the moon comes between earth and sun, and that new moon cannot be seen by the most sophisticated telescopes. One Saudi Prince went up in a rocket to try to see this new moon from the space in the high skies and came back confirming that it was not visible. That's why it is called invisible moon, becuase its lighted portion is towards the sun and dark portion is towards the earth.

Question: After the Moon Birth, how much time is required for people to sight the New Moon?

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ON MOON-SIGHTING
Answer: Time passed after New Moon Birth is called the age of the moon. Sighting is possible at different age in different months. So, age cannot be a criterion for sighting. Why is it so? Because, the orbit of the moon is elliptical and in its orbit, the moon moves faster when it is closer to the earth, and slower when it is farther from earth.

Question: Who, or what, is this Big Sister you keep talking about?

Frequently Asked Questions: The Heretical Edition
Simon says: Big Sister is all those groups which express female characteristics, and thus employ female procedures. Thus, ultimately, it doesn't matter whether women are distorting our perception, freemasons secretly support each other using subtle signals, the media confuses males to make them easier to manipulate or politicians say anything to gain power. All are employing female policies. The female policy is to conspire (act together, especially against a common enemy).

Why does the Harvest Moon look orange when it rises?

Moon FAQ (MMSD)
Answer: Actually, it's not just during the Harvest Moon that this happens. You can see this on any full or nearly full moon as the moon is rising. And it's for the same reason that sunsets are red and orange. The sun is shining all of the colors of the rainbow on to the moon, and the moon is reflecting all of those colors pretty evenly. When the moon is low, the reflected sunlight has to travel through more air than when the moon is high in the sky.

Why does the moon have big rocks?

The Moon | Scholastic.com
The moon is made up of various kinds of rocks. These rocks are fairly similar to the rocks on earth. But on earth, we have wind and rain that help wear the rocks down into sand and dirt. There is no air or wind on the moon, so the rocks don't get worn down as they do on the earth.

Why does the moon look so big when it's rising?

faq.html
Almost everyone has noticed the same effect: the moon indeed appears larger when it is close to the horizon than when it is overhead. Yet you can prove to yourself that this is strictly an illusion. Hold a dime at arm's length in front of the moon. Regardless of the moon's elevation in the sky, the dime will just cover it. The "moon illusion," as it is sometimes called, is entirely conjured up by the human brain.

There are many types of nail whiteness, some of which indicate serious illness; fortunately, by far the most common cause of white spots on the nail is minor injury to the nail matrix.

Is a Big Law Firm Better Than a Small One?

legalcareer.com : frequently asked questions
Generally, it's six of one, six of the other. In a smaller firm, you will get a lot more "hands on" experience in court, and in dealing with clients, during the early years of your career. Smaller firms cannot afford the luxury of a big bureaucracy, and will be under pressure to bring you up to speed as a performing (i.e. high billing) lawyer as quickly as possible. You will be thrown in over your head and expected to swim . . . fast.
