FACTS ABOUT THE MOON:

  • The moon is the only satellite that the Earth has. The rotation of the moon around the Earth makes us experience day and night.

  • The moon as a celestial body does not possess a light of its own, hence, the light we see when looking at the moon is that from the sun.

  • It takes a month (about 27 days) for the month to complete its evolution around the Earth. Hence, we see different phases of the moon based on the part of the moon being lit by the sun.
