Answer to Question 1

False

Answer to Question 2

Misconception: the dark side of the Moon is always dark. There is no permanently dark side. There is a far side. The Moon rotates at the same rate it revolves around Earth, so one side will illuminate light for two weeks, the other side will be dark for two weeks, and repeat.

Misconception: shouldn't see the Moon during daylight hours. The gibbous (not quite full) Moon is often visible during the daytime hours. Quarter moons, and especially crescent moons, can also be visible in the daytime sky, but they are harder to see when the Sun is above the horizon and the sky is bright.

Misconception: The full Moon causes lunatic behavior. There are scientific studies proving that a person's behavior is not linked to the lunar phases.

Misconception: the Moon is larger when on the horizon. It is an optical illusion. Try viewing it from a different angle.
