MIRROR IN THE SKY Saturday, September 15, 2007
The Moon is the closer to the earth than to the sun.It is closer to the earth than to the stars.It travels around the earth as the earth travels around the sun.The moving of the moon around the earth is what makes the tides in our ocean go in and out.
The full moon shines like a bright ball in the sky.but the moon does not give off any light of its own.It shines by reflecting the light it gets from the sun.If you hold upa mirror to the sun ,the mirror catches the sunlight and shines.this is the way the moon shines.
There are moutains and valleys on the moon ,but there are no living things there .the sur face of the moon is coverved with dust which still keeps the footprints of the two men who landed on it in 1969.

FACTS ABOUT THE MOON
To us, the moon appears to be very large. Actually the moon is much smaller than the sun and the stars . However , because the moon is closer to the earth than any other star or planet ,it seems larger. the moon is really quite far from us ,even if we could go to the moon in a rocket traveling five thousand miles an hour, it would take us about 48 hours to get there! once we arrived on moon
We would find
that it grows extremely hot in the daytime and extremely cold at night. This is because the moon has no air to protect it. The air around our planet protects it from the sun’s rays and also keeps it from losing too much heat.
In 1969, two men set foot on the moon and saw exactly what things are like there .we now know that on the moon we cannot find free water in lakes and streams. Because of lack of air and water on our moon, we can’t expect to see plants or animals as we know them on earth.
A.TRUE OR FALSE:
1…….the moon seems larger than the sun and the stars because it is closer to our earth.
2……It would take us 48 hours to get to the moon by air.
3……..the moon is protected by air
4……..Of all the heavenly bodies, the moon is closest to us.
5. ……the moon grows extremely cold at night
6……..all stars are smaller than our moon.
