Johannesburg Centre, Astronomical Society of Southern Africa

Some of these answers sound familiar ...

 

Q: What is a planet?

A: A body of earth surrounded by sky.

 

Q: What causes the tides in the oceans?

A: The tides are a fight between the Earth and the Moon. All water tends to flow towards the moon, because there is no water on the moon, and nature abhors a vacuum. I forget where the sun joins in this fight.
