The Moon

Obviously. By about 6 times, IIRC

If you can understand physics you would know that the Earth looks a lot bigger from the moon, than he moon does from Earth.

Not if you turn your binoculars round

And what i don't get is... when the moon is at a quarter (say) how can we see the other 3 quarters, as a slightly less shaded thing? where's the light coming from?

Sooey has pretty much answered it already so I'll just fill in the details a bit:

1) When we see a crescent moon, anybody on the moon will see an almost full Earth.

2) The Earth is a lot bigger than the moon (about four times bigger) so a full Earth will look a lot bigger from the moon than the full moon does to us.

3) Because we have clouds, the Earth a lot more reflective than the moon.

Try to imagine something as bright as Venus but four times bigger than the moon. That's a lot of light! Actually, it wouldn't be that much because Venus is closer to the sun and completely wrapped in clouds but you get the idea.

this is all i'm after, and happy to be told i'm wrong with fact...

The rest of the smart ar se comments should;ve been pulled by the fuzz !!!!
