At its largest, the distance between Earth and the Moon is so great that if we ignore gravitational effects we'd be able to fit all the other planets in the Solar System between the two bodies.

Fun fact: The point when the moon is closest to the Earth is called "perigee" and the point when it is farthest away is called "apogee." Both come from Greek: apo - from; peri - near; gē - Earth.
Edit: also, I think there's a similar name for when the Sun and the Earth are close and far, but I forget it. Also source: Perigee Apogee

Your body barely contains any atoms that it contained last year. Are you even still you?

If I remember rightly, it takes about 14 years for natural process to replace every cell in your body, including bone and nerve/brain tissue.
