Luna = Moon
Sol = Sun

they already have names

God damn it, sir; I wanted to appear smarter than the average bear!

 

[Olorune]

Damn too late to be the smart one in this thread... oh well I shall take another role then.

Also Pluto is a planet because Mass Effect says so.

Boom! Suck on that astrologists! If Shepard says Pluto's a planet, then by god it is a planet.

Trivia: In Finnish language, moon translates as kuu and Kuu was a moon goddess in Finnish mythology.

Even though they were proven wrong when presented with evidence from NASA and the IAU that our moon is called... Moon not Luna?

i can't believe this thread is still going.

seriously people..you're almost as bad as these guys:

I thought the answer was 10. Order of operations and all.

10 + 10 x 0 = 10 + (10 x 0) = 10.

Right?

Nope you're dead wrong

That rule only applies to unspecified numbers

10+10 x 0 = ?
10+10 =20
20 x 0 = 0
if anything you could write it as
(10+10)0=

I dunno... Google says I be right. And I like Google.

Ehm I'm telling you 10(10+0) IS NOT THE SAME
as 10+10 x 0

10(10+0)
would be
10 x 10 + 0
20+0 = 20

This is just ridiculous trolling now
Adding 0 or Multiplying by 0 are to different things

Also Solve media : Morbid obesity

That thing is fun

10 + (10 x 0), not 10 (10+0).

10 + 10 x 0
= 10 + (10 x 0)
= 10 + 0
= 10

I'ma go with Google. It's smarter than me and it says 10!

2+5*2-3*6/6
reduces to 2 +10-18/6=2+10-3=12-3=9
thus 10+10x0=10+0=10

Nuff said.

It already has a name: the moon.

Wrong.

Order of Operations always applies. Always. Every single time. The presence or absence of variables doesn't matter. Order of Operations always applies every single time.

I think Luna is a lovely name, so I propose no change to that.

I do maintain that the moon should have a theme song. I nominate Duran Duran.

Multiplication and division is always done before addition and subtraction.

PEMDAS
Patenthesis
Exponents
Multiplications
Division
Addition
Subtraction

Therefore, 10 + 10 x 0 would go like this:

10 + 10 x 0

10 + 0

10

The answer is 10.

End of story.

Nightstar should be the name, since the Sun is the Daystar.

Wrong.

Order of Operations always applies. Always. Every single time. The presence or absence of variables doesn't matter. Order of Operations always applies every single time.

Quite so. Wikipedia's order of operations page states "in mathematics...multiplication is done before addition; in the expression 2 + 3 × 4, the answer is 14." Order of operations always applies, and the correct answer is 10.

 

[DustyDrB]

I didn't know that "Luna" was such a well known fact. Thank Mass Effect and its mission that lets me pick a specialization for that tidbit (at least for me).

But a good alternate name is "The Big Glowing Night Shiny"

 

[Vykrel]

You don't care what the leading professionals in the world have named something? Fair enough.

*cough*

NASA didnt name the moon, smart guy.

...

You serious or just joking?

I mean... so Earth isn't Earth because we didn't make it? XD

dude, do you honestly believe NASA named the moon? people have been calling it "the moon" for hundreds of years. NASA just agrees with the name

and that last sentence doesnt make any sense so i cant comment on it.

 

[DSK-]

Luna = Moon
Sol = Sun

/entire thread

This, plus the fact that every other planet's moon is referenced by a name such as Phobos, Deimos, IO, Ganymede etc, but the moon is almost always just called 'the Moon'.

As The-Bad-Blooded mentioned, it does have a name but it simply isn't used all that much.

Luna isn't the Moon's name, though. The Moon is.

My point exactly, my good fellow!

 

[ThisIsSnake]

Is there a better theory? Only other theories I've heard are creationist ones.

Just because it is the only theory doesn't mean it is true. Just because the theory explains said phenomenon the best, doesn't mean it is true. We can't really conclusively prove that is what happened. Sure there is a nice large amount of evidence that supports the theory, and we are 99% sure that is what happened. However, unless we can get a time machine and watch it happen, it will remain a theory.

Well Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos. Can't believe I leaned that from Doom, wayback when.

Thanks for proving my point.

....You can't be seriously using that as an argument.

There's a lot more evidence supporting the great impact theory than any other hypothesis it's like saying *cough* theoretically whenever gravity is mentioned.

Mars doesn't have two moons, it has two natural satellites. Calling them moons isn't scientific.

 

[The_Decoy]

herp derp, just realized the root word of "lunar" even though I've known it was named Luna.

You probably don't care or already know, but that's also the root of lunacy - they thought full moons drove people mad, you could use it as a mitigating circumstance in a crime way back when

And Luna isn't the name of the moon, it's the *latin* name of the moon. Woo, facts.

 

[sylekage]

I'd still call it the moon because I'd know exactly what you're talking about. When we're talking about other planets moons, we always say that name, then moon, like "Jupiter's moon".

So, Moon.

Moons.

Moons of Jupiter.

Yeah I know I'm just saying that when talking about the moon you're talking about our moon, and you'd usually put the planets name before saying that moon I.E. "Jupiter's moon" and most moons in our solar system have actual names

 

[DoomyMcDoom]

I already named the moon, I named it Bob III
