In everyday life
- The Moon's average distance, about 384,400 km, is more than 960 drives along the 400 km Seoul–Busan expressway — and the Moon sits under «Earth's Moon» in this catalog's Moons group.
- Constellation names taught at school, such as Orion or Ursa Major (home of the Big Dipper), are the same everywhere because the world shares the 88 constellations set by the International Astronomical Union.
