How to See a House on the Moon

THE MOON MAN'S (HOUSE) IS BIGGER THAN YOURS Can the naked eye see a house on the moon? Sure, as long as it's large enough. Below is a diagram that shows the width and. square footage of a housę visible from Earth. HOUSE WİDTH: 1.2 MILES HOUSE AREA: 455,260 SQ FT - 5x International Space Station HOUSE WIDTH: 2.3 MILES HOUSE AREA: 145,755,177 SQ FT - 22x The Pentagon GEOSTATIONARY ORBII HOUSE WIDTH: 24.56 MILES HOUSE AREA: 16,817,741,883 SQ FT - 2x New.York City Note: Our numbers allOw you to see no more than an orange dot--to distinguish the object, you would need an even larger house. You can do it yourself: Using the following two equations, you can calculate how wide a house would have to be on other planets. Rayleigh Criterion light wavelength pupil's angle of visibility (needed) (based on the color of house) sinê = 1.220 2------ diameter of pupil (A = 590nm) 7mm Solve for 0 to get pupil's angle of visibility - 0.00589°. That number is then used in the following equation: Basic Trigonometry width of house pupil's angle of visibility (needed) tane F----- distance from earth to moon 0.00589° 384,400,400m Solve for y to get how wide the house has to be to see it from Earth. designed by MOVOTO .com Negan Radich EARTH ORBIT
