-4. Before he became Captain Kangaroo, what other famous TV character did Bob Keeshan portray?
-5. What is the trade name for vinylidene chloride polymer?

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.
