There is no phase called a Half Moon. Let's see 1st quarter, full, last quarter, new. There is a boat by that name, however.

Please add your own trivial questions.

A "half moon" is when you pull the back of your pants only halfway down your butt. Kind of a "more respectful" form of a full moon.

hey suitti

Speaking of the Moon (I know there's a segue here somewhere), there is a crescent Moon called the Boat Moon. This is seen at the equatorial regions of Earth as a U shape. It is partially seen to persons in the Northern Hemisphere in the winter months.

I gave this answer a year ago to someone asking about a boat moon and I got several thumbs down and no BA. I've been seeing a therapist about it since.

Have a good one.

It is easy but it seems to me as they are trick questions. The questions seems to have you as reference point. For example, one will usually think Proxima Centauri is the nearest star when you ask "what is the closest star?" or Sirius when you ask "What is the brightest star?"...

okay. well..for someone who likes to kid around (like me), it would be pretty easy. but for people who are too serious, they'd get some of the answers wrong.

Well they are a little difficult,FOR A 5 YEAR OLD!
Your questions are a little stupid.Looks like they have been made by someone who knows very little about astronomy.
Well ten points aren't enough to stop me expressing my feelings.
