The Great Wall of China CAN NOT be seen from the Moon.
From ~1/4 million miles away, no signs of any man-made objects can be seen.

First, it's called the Great Wall of China.
Second, no. The wall is far too small to be seen from the moon; astronauts cannot see it even when they're just in orbit, not to mention the moon.

Who told you that? That is not only false, but it must have been told to you by a total idiot. The Great Wall Of China is very long, but in order to be seen from the moon, it would have to be 20 miles wide... and even then you would need a telescope.

It's called the Great Wall of China, for one thing. Secondly, that's false. The Great Wall of China can't even be seen from near-Earth orbit, let alone the moon.

Good Question because you cannot find it that easily when on the moon.You need to have sharp eyes but when you will start focusing u will find a line like figure.That is the Great Wall Of China.

Indeed, it is a myth. It would be difficult to see even from low Earth orbit. I have no idea how such ridiculous claims get started.

It's not as easily seen as believed, source below, but the size was always the reason stated.
