Where is the closest point to the moon on earth?
Mt. Chimborazo :?:
The moon is closest to earth on perigee but I don't know a certain location.
On the other hand Moon is a common name in Korea so I guess it's overthere. :laugh:
EuroTroll beat me to it. It's Chimborazo. I remember reading that in an article somewhere. Isn't it weird that you can remember stuff like that for years, but I still can't memorize my damn mobile phone number :D
ET is correct (of course ;) )
Yeah, on a previous geo thread, we once had the question of what was the furthest point on Earth from the center of the Earth. It was the peak of Mt. Chimborazo. So I figured it must be the closest point to anything orbiting Earth. :)
Anyway, new Q: Communism Peak was the tallest point in the former USSR. Today, that peak is called Qullai Ismoili Somoni. Which country is it located in?
Oh, that's easy for a former east German :D It's in Tajikistan. Pretty much discernable from the new name as well :)
Should be one of the "kistan" rep. but I don't know which.
I don't know their landforms.
Correct! :up:Quote:

The shortest possible flight from civilian airport to civilian airport between Russia and the USA is less than 40 nautical miles. From where to where would you be flying? (direction doesn't matter ;) )
