It is also possible that some of the dust in the vicinity of the Earth originated from meteoritic impacts upon the moon.

Beyond a few million kilometers from the Earth, but still in the region of the Earth's orbit, a prediction of the flux of dust is even more unreliable.

The direct evidence on the micrometeorite environment near the Earth is obtained from piezoelectric sensors ( essentially microphones ) and from wire gages ; ;

Pioneer 1, recorded a decrease in flux with distance from the Earth on the basis of 11 counts in 9 hours.

The flux of micrometeorites in the neighborhood of the Earth can be estimated by extrapolation from radar and visual meteor data.

A measure of the total mass accretion of meteoritic material by the Earth is obtained from analyses of deep-sea sediments and dust collected in remote regions ( Pettersson, 1960 ).

They lay months away from the nearest Earth star by jump drive, and no one knew what they were good for, although it was felt that they would probably be good for something if it could only be discovered -- much like the continent of Antarctica in ancient history.

For example, the full moon has an angular diameter of approximately 0. 5 °, when viewed from Earth.

Hipparchus also gave an estimate of the distance of the Sun from the Earth, quoted by Pappus as equal to 490 Earth radii.

Almost all matter observable from the Earth seems to be made of matter rather than antimatter.

* 1966 – Lunar Orbiter 1 takes the first photograph of Earth from orbit around the Moon.

It is a class M0 orange giant located 366 light years away from Earth.

It is also the apparent magnitude a star would have if it were 32. 6 light years ( 10 parsecs ) away from Earth.

Many stars visible to the naked eye have such a low absolute magnitude that they would appear bright enough to cast shadows if they were only 10 parsecs from the Earth: Rigel (− 7. 0 ), Deneb (− 7. 2 ), Naos (− 6. 0 ), and Betelgeuse (− 5. 6 ).

How bright is the Moon from Earth?
