What courses are you taking?
What are they called?
If you are taking a University level course, what is it like and what are you learning?
Tell me more.

Most of the questions come from people who have never studied astronomy. Unless they are taking it right now and are too lazy to google their own homework.
I know there are several answers here, including myself, with advanced degrees in astronomy and physics.

I am only 13 but i am in all Pre-AP classes, getting ready for AP in High School. Most of the time here, i do know what i am talking about, unlike some random people who quesitions with like 1 word just so they can get their 2 points. I normally take the time to research my answers before i post them... And although i am a amature, i know a lot more about astronomy and physics than my teacher this year, i got to explain some of it to the regular classes, which got me out of Language Arts a lot. :-)

The level of questions goes from really juvenile to fairly advanced, but with a concentration of fairly basic questions.
I am a lifetime amateur and science author.
I would not match my specific knowledge against a professional, but I would guarantee my general astronomy knowledge is as great as most and more than some pros, simply because I have been at it so long.

What better way to learn? I have spent countless hours reading about astronomy and physics and I figured I understood a lot about both subjects, and I do, however a few of my favourite views have been off base and those kind enough to answer my questions in a civilized way have been of great help/.

Most of these questions are posed by junior high or high school students, or by people who know little about astronomy and are curious about something related to space. A lot of questions are poorly phrased and confusing, and frankly, are better answered at expert websites you can find through Google.
I use them as an opportunity to sharpen my writing skills and my own knowledge of the subject.

Most of the people asking questions here are novices.
I could have answered every single rudimentary question posted here when I was 12 and a major amature astronomer.

Enquiring minds want to know.
Where we come from
who we are
why we are here
The best way to find out is to look to the sky and wo/ander

You just asked a question. That question came from you. Other questions come from other people. What about the process was unclear to you?

One person asked if we could answer her question non-scientifically and instead try to really use our heads.
