Study Notes

  • The moon is a large ball of stone orbiting around Earth, one-fourth the size of our planet, covered with dust and rocks creating visible craters from Earth.
  • Despite appearing white from Earth, the moon is actually gray and reflects sunlight to shine at night.
  • The moon takes around 28 days to orbit Earth, with no air making life unlikely there, and its light is a reflection of the sun's light.
  • Eclipses occur when the moon moves in front of the sun, briefly blocking sunlight and cooling the Earth, causing animals to think it's night and sleep.
  • Twelve astronauts, including the first man on the moon, Neil Armstrong, have walked on the moon wearing special suits for temperature control and oxygen due to the lack of air.
