The Moon

The moon is our nearest neighbor in the solar system. It is the only satellite of the earth. Moon is 384,400 km from the earth. Since it is so near from us, hence it appears so big; compared to any other celestial body. The diameter of the moon is just one-fourth the diameter of the earth.

The moon takes about 27 days to make one revolution around the earth. It takes the same number of days to complete one rotation around its axis. Due to this, only one face of the moon is visible from the earth. Due to this, we get to see different shapes of the moon on different days of the month.

Phases of Moon: When the moon appears like a circular disc, it is called the full moon. The full moon day is called ‘poornima’ in Hindi. When no moon is visible in the sky, it is called the new moon. When the moon appears like a sickle, it is called the crescent moon. Sometimes, the moon appears like a semicircle. The full moon appears once in a month.

The moon has no water or air. The climate of the moon is very harsh and is not suitable for life. There are lots of hills and craters on the surface of the moon. When you will observe the full moon carefully, you can easily see the shadows of hills and mountains.
