3 times it

Answer 3

That is impossible to say. Each person's visual ability is a little different. A definite number would not be appropriate for everyone. As mentioned, the phase of the moon would be a factor as would weather patterns. Fire and volcanic activity would also be a factor.

Good question.

Answer 5

You can see the moon very clearly. If it is a new moon day, you can watch all stars and lot of meteors, entering to Earths atmosphere. But if it is on a full moon day, you can not enjoy the beauty of universe, up to your satisfaction.
