One error (the only serious one I could find):
The only thing about the Moon that is 1/6 of the Earth is its _surface gravity, _ not its _size._
The Moon's _mass_ is 1/81 of the Earth's, its _volume_ is 1/50 of the Earth's, its _area_ is a little less than 1/13 of the Earth's and its _diameter_ is a little more than 1/4 of the Earth's.

he deserves noble prize for his explanation

This was super informative and very well explained in such a short time! Thank you!

[TimeSplitt]

Thank you! I saw another youtube video and it was on paper in 2D, and sometimes you don't know exactly the perspective it's drawn at.

Really clear and accurate communication of a 3D concept, using 3D, all perspective information is there, on paper in the other video the 2D perspective it was drawn at meant you couldn't tell if the moon was at different levels.

Cheers.

Very helpful, thanks! Wish they taught like this at schools.

How is it possible to see a full moon during the daytime?

[ЕвгенийВолков-уе]

Although the video might not be as informative as one would require, it provides a decent visual represientation of the moon orbiting Earth. It helps a lot to be able to picture the process in it's fullest. Big thumbs up from me

This was the best video for me to understand. Thanks sir. You got a sub

[kunjikorans]

@Funsciencedemos ... why do we see Sun and Moon at the same time.

Demonstrate that please

[arushisingh]

it was really helpful and explained very well .thanks !

[LimZhiLiKyle]

This really benefits me compared to the others one!

Who’s here in 2020 while we all want to move to the moon

[jazmined]

So we've only seen on half of the moon? the half with the red dot? Does that mean the moon doesn't rotate? I know it circles around earth but does it rotate in itself?

[imbobb]

Next video: why do we see different people?

[anudeepkatkam]

Sir Earth rotates 360 degrees in 24 hrs but moon revolved nearly12 degrees only in 24hrs.So how we see moon every night.(shape may be anything)

[unpopularopinionguy]

I might be living bellow a rock, but are you telling me tha for seven days we stop seeing the moon completely because she is in the other side of the earth?

[JAYSONFERANIL]

Bro can you have a video explanation why sometimes we see the moon in the morning.
cause if we follow your explanation on the third side face. the moon is not visible from the morning part of the globe.

[jaysthenics]

The part I don’t understand is how can you see the moon from New Zealand at the same time as In the United state on the same day?

[yoikyasimusic]

ERROR: the moon circle 13 times in a year!

Thank you Commander William T. Ricker that was very informative, now meet me in my ready room for another briefing. Make it so
