Satellites - 2
The moon
The Moon is Earth's only natural
satellite and is the fifth largest moon
in the solar system.
The moon, Earth's natural satellite,
is a barren place with no air or
water. Its surface is characterized by
rocks and dust, featuring tall
mountains, plains, and large round
ditches known as craters. Some
craters span hundreds of kilometers
and were formed by massive rocks
colliding with the moon's surface.
During a full moon night, you can
observe light and dark regions – the
dark areas represent plains while the
light areas signify mountains. The
moon's craters are visible through a
telescope.

The phases of the Moon refer to the different
appearances of the Moon as it orbits around the
Earth. These phases are a result of the changing
positions of the Moon, Earth, and the Sun
relative to each other. There are eight primary
phases of the Moon.

On the New Moon day,
the moon is not visible
in the sky as the side
facing us receives no
sunlight at all.
