In the'Orion'Constellation,just below the belt,(I geuss you'd call it the sword)there's a 'Molcular Cloud'.I was just wondering if a person would consider that the only'Nebula'visible with the naked eye?

It's the only true nebula the naked eye can see, but the Andromeda Galaxy was once considered a nebula and you can see it too.

My dictionary has never heard of the word "molcular." There are a number of other nebulae visible to the naked eye, such as the North America Nebula and the Lagoon Nebula.

It's a nebula, not a molecular cloud. Depending on where you are, if the air is clear enough you can see others. But the Great Nebula in Orion is a very bright one.

I think so, in the northern hemisphere, but then I have never seen truly dark skies. I believe in the Southern hemisphere, they say they can see the Eta Carina Nebula.

I've never heard of a molcular before-- is it contagious?

Just below Orion's belt is Orion's crotch.
