The Moon
The moon is pretty big. But how big, exactly?
22 billion cubic kilometers.
But that number makes no sense.
Let's say we crumbled the moon, and spread it around the earth.
First thing it would do would be completely fill every oceans.
Then it could cover the land. How deep would the entire earth be cover in moon dust?
40 kilometers. 25 miles.
For perspective, the tallest thing made by man is less than 1 kilometer tall, and the highest mountain is less than 9 kilometers tall.

hmmm very interesting
Love, how does your mind WORK this way? :D
really nice facts & comparisons. :)
that's crazy, didn't know that
Did you know there are more suns in the universe then there are individual grains of sand on the earth.
Man I love your posts, so interesting. 25 miles high of moon dust, my lord, hard to believe that bright ball we see in the sky is that large.
That.. is a lot of moon o_o
mind=blown
You see, Look at the size at the sun and compare it to Earth. Now compare the sun with stars 100000x bigger than that.
Gonna ask you something, how many oceans is it going to have once it's filled with ocean water?
dam crazy shit haha
yep, the moon is humungus
Interesting little facts!
Damn I learned alot today! Thanks for the info (:
I honestly love this blog, interesting shit bro. Keep ^^
So basically, if we broke the moon up and spread it over the area of the earth it would cover the entire planet 40 km (or 25 miles) high? I love learning interesting little facts like this.
the more you post, the smaller i feel.
I heard of a number that was moronickly high like
3^35^(3^35)or something like it that was a number bigger than our universe or something like it i cant remember the Name it was like a million times bigger than a Googol.
Gives you a bit of perspective, doesn't it? :D
When you put it this way....
I feel like a midget's pet dwarf.
Nah, my problems are bigger than the Moon.
The most important fact about the moon is that it starred in Majora's Mask.
Woah, the moon is big.
Pretty interesting. I am also a big fan of numbers.
More comparisons, those are the trippiest and most interesting things.
that is pretty big!
This is a really interesting idea for a blog, I like it a lot.
hrm
So mr. moon is sooo big! wow!
Cool info!
22 billion cubic kilometers... nice field to build my house
wow..food for thought.
yeah
My perspective is %$#@!
All hail the Burj Khalifa
Thats a controversial way to get a feeling for the moon's size..Why not compare diameters with the earth?
@Necroticism and still it was interesting info
Really nice way to break down numbers, I'm going to follow you for my daily dose of numbers!
whoa, i had no idea it was that big. thanks for the perspective.
how big is the moon? 1/3 rd Earth`s diameter, to the power of 3 would give 9 time less mass (more or less) which explain the ultra low gravity there. Eaaaasssyyy :D
holy... 40 kms, thats just crazy!
still confuzed, besides, everyone knows the moon is made of cheese.
good 2 know that!
+followed
You dont realise that it would cover so much.
Having studied astronomy.... I can actually comprehend this value....
That's alot of freaking moon rock.
Let's hope it never happens....
Damn that's mind blowing. Interesting way to look at things.
I always thought the moon was about the size of the united states of america? I was wrong?
This reminds me that I still need to see that 'Moon' movie. :D
Great blog btw. I am definitely coming back here.
interesting facts :)
That's crazy, it would even cover Mauna Kea, the tallest mountain in the world from the ocean floor.
