look up to the moon, look up to earth ! whats that all about...?

Question

as we stand on the earth we can look up to the moon....ok
but if you could stand on the moon, you would have to look up to see the earth.....what that all about then !!!!

Answer 1

You're only looking up from your own point of view though. If you're in the UK and the moon is on the other side of the planet and the Australians are looking up at the moon, from your perspective they're looking down. We're all upright, upside down, sideways, or whatever, depending on what part of the Earth you're on. It's all relative.

Answer 2

Looking up just means looking away from the large object you are standing on (holding you down with its gravity). On the moon it would seem like the Earth was in the sky. I'd love to see that! It would look huge - four times the size of the moon from here and more colourful.

Answer 3

Now i understand i used to be way Greener Than That, I turn My lower back For A Minute And only look What they have achieved To Me... Worst Out Of physique journey Ever... Have A G'day Honey xoxox ;b

Answer 4

If you look from one island to another then you have to look out to sea, which ever you are on.

Up and down are terms relative the body that you are standing on.

Answer 5

Your sense of up and down is due to your local gravitational field. There's a sensor in the inner ear that tells your brain which way is down - it's whichever way gravity is pulling you.

Answer 6

If you look down,the only thing you'll is the ground,,just like on Earth.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9
