From the northern hemesphere, the sun looks like it is going clockwise, which lead to the belief that turning widdershins (anti-clockwise) was going against the sun and would summon evil spirits.


And

until about a hundred years ago, the moon was listed as a genuin cause for madness.

The temperature of space in this region is around 253 Kelvin, or minus 20 degrees Celcius. Since the moon has no atmosphere and therefore no greenhouse effect, the temperature on the surface of the Moon is also around 253 Kelvin.

From this we deduce that parts of the Earth's surface, during winter, can be accurately described as "colder than the moon!".

The Earth is currently more-or-less at its furthest distance from the Sun. I suppose technically that's useful if you're a rocket scientist.
