Prabhupāda: Every planet is rotating.
Indian Guest: But moon is rotating in such a way that the half remains in sunshine; the other remains in dark all the time.
Prabhupāda: How it is possible?
Indian Guest: Hmm?
Prabhupāda: Rotating means it must turn. Because sunshine is very great, and all other planets they are very small. So as soon as it is rotating, it must come to be face of the sunshine.
Indian Guest: Because there are two reasons. There are two forces to the moon: one from the earth and the other from the sun. These two forces keep the moon in such a way that the half, only one half remains facing the sun, and the other half remains in the dark.
Prabhupāda: That's all right. I don't believe all this nonsense. (laughter) This is unnatural. Every planet is rotating that is called orbit . . . (indistinct) . . . so how this moon can be different from other planets? Every planet is in the outer space. They have no support. Just like . . . (indistinct) . . . it is rotating. So how the moon will be? Even sun is rotating. So what this moon has got that it has got different method? So everything to me, actually, it appears to be . . . (indistinct) . . . and they have not gone to the other side. Why? Why this is?
Indian Guest: No. Darkness prevails. It is dark there, completely dark.
Prabhupāda: So that means that part never comes to the sunshine?
Indian Guest: No.
Prabhupāda: So that is impractical. Sun is also rotating. So, sun also by rotating, it does not light that part? This is moon; it is not rotating. But sun is rotating, so why it does not shine the other part?
Indian Guest: The sun is rotating with moon.
