Constant line is backing Margo (7) -3. Explorer, for one, hides in herb rows erroneously (7) -4. Testament: "I'm hurt" (7) -5. Reformed minister rests (8) -6. Cheer literary bouncer a whole lot (4,2) -7. Impact of bow uplifted Eastern faith (5,4) -8. Free plunge onto street (6) -9. Jailbird returned unfinished second serving of a drink (5) -10. Lived with the heartless desolation (5) The moon is actually more useful than the sun since the moon gives us light at night when it's dark. The sun only gives us light during the day when it's already bright out.
