The Moon
Hi I'm back! Today we are going to talk about the moon and why it is so amazing.
Bright Object
Right now I'm here with Emma The Meap! OK so Emma The Meap on my blog people have been asking me "Why is the moon so Bright?" Well Emma The Meap can you answer that please? Emma The Meap: Sure. Well the moon is so bright because the sun's light reflects off of the moon ( at night) onto the Earth. The moon does not make it's own light. Science Meap: Well now that we know that we should probably move on.
Circle
Some people ask me "why doesn't the moon always appear a perfect circle all the time?" Well I have ScientificMeap here with me so she will tell you why. ScientificMeap: Well the reason the moon doesn't appear a perfect circle all the time is because the sun hits the moon on different angles. The sun doesn't hit the moon on the same spot all the time. That's one reason the moon goes through phases. Science Meap: OK well were going to talk about something else.
Moon
How many days does it take for the moon to completely orbit the moon? Well it take 27.3 days for the moon to orbit completely. It takes 8 days for the moon to go to a full moon to the 2nd full moon and the passage of time is called the moon cycle. So we are going to move on and go to another subject.
Surface
What does the moon look like exactly. The moon has highlands and dark spots. The dark spot consits 20% of the moon. The moons surface has craters that may of had seas a long time ago and is also very rocky. The moon has no atmosphere and meteors can just crash right into the moon. So we are going to move on now.
Interesting Facts
- Neil Armstrong was the first man on the moon
- Apollo 15 was the first mission to use a lunar rover
- In China, the dark shadows that are on the moon are called "the toad in the moon".
Those are some facts on the moon.
Well I hoped you liked my blog bye.
