The Moon\n\nIsn't it wonderful to look up at the sky on a clear night?The moon brightens up the night sky.We get our word “month\"from the word “moon.\"Try to say the word “month”with two “o's”in themiddle like the word moon:\"moonth.”Doesn't that sound like month and moon put together?Manyyears ago,people guessed what day of the month it was by looking at the moon.Another word we usewhen talking about the moon is lunar (loo’nur).It comes from Latin.A lot of scientific words comefrom Latin.Latin is a good language to learn if you want to be a scientist someday.The Latin wordfor moon is lun,which is why we often use the word “lunar”to refer to the moon.  \nDo you remember that the moon is a satellite of the earth?The moon revolves around theearth,like the earth revolves around the sun.We do not call the moon a planet;we call it a satellite.Take a ball,hold it above your head,and move it slowly around your head.The ball orbits your headlike the moon orbits the earth.We usually think of satellites as man-made machines that we send upinto space to orbit the earth.We use those kinds of satellites to take pictures,collect information,andtransmit television and telephone signals.The moon is also a satellite,but it is a natural satellite,because it was made by God,not man.  \nThe moon looks like a big light up in the sky.But,actually,the moon is a very dark satellite  \nwith no light coming from it at all.\"Whyis it lit up?\"you ask.Well,remember whywe can see the planets shining like stars inthe night sky.They reflect light thatcomes from the sun,making it look likethey are shining with their own light.Well,the moon does the same thing.Thesun is always shining on some part of themoon,so it is always daytime somewhereon the moon.The light we see comingfrom the moon,then,is actually the lightof the sun reflecting off the surface of themoon.  \nEven though the moon doesn't make its own light,it can be very bright in the night sky.Whenthe moon is big and round,the night is not very dark because the sun's light reflecting off the moonprovides some light by which we can see.When the moon is a small sliver,we have darker nights.Ifyou want to play hide-and-seek during the night,it is easier to hide when the moon is either not visiblein the sky or when it is just a small sliver.  \nthe earth,try this experiment.Take a compact disc(CD)into aroom that has a lamp or a closet with a light bulb nearby.Remove the lampshade from the lamp,and turn on the light.Now move your compact disc in a way that makes the lightshine from the compact disc onto your other hand (the one that  \nThis is a photo of the earth and the moon bothreflecting the sun's light.  \nTo understand the fact that the moon's brightness is just the result of how it reflects light onto  \nis not holding the CD).You are reflecting the light from the bulb(which is like the sun)off the CD(which is like the moon)onto your hand(which is like the earth.)The compact disc is not producinglight on its own.If you took the compact disc into a dark room,no light would come from it.That islike the moon.The only way the CD can shine light onto your hand is to reflect it from a lamp that isproducing its own light.In the same way,the moon reflects the light from the sun onto the earth.  \nTell someone all that you have learned about the moon in your own words.  \n# The Moon's Phases\n\nHave you ever noticed that the moon seems to change shape in the sky?Sometimes it's a biground ball;sometimes it's a semi-circle;and sometimes it's a sliver,which is called a crescent.Also,one night during every month,the moon seems to completely disappear.  \nWell,the moon never really disappears,and it doesn't really change shape.It's always the big  \nround ball that God created it to be.The reason it lookslike it has changed shape is because we can only see thepart of the moon that reflects light back to the earth.Whydo you think only part of the earth and part of the moonare lit up in the picture on the left?It is because the sun's","cbCaisYxWzERUiAg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisYxWzERUiAg","pdf",7727859,"English","# The Moon\n## Meaning of “month” and
