The Moon

Moon: Our earth has only one natural satellite that is the moon. The Moon moves around the earth in about 27 days. The Moon does not have favorable conditions for life. It has mountains, plains and depressions on its surface. These cast shadows on the moon’s surface. It shines because it reflects the light of the Sun. it is about 384,400 Km. away from the Earth. There is no air on the Moon. The shape and position of the Moon as seen from the Earth, however, varies each day. We have a full moon night (Purnima) about once a month. The full moon wanes, or gets smaller, till a fortnight from the full moon night; it cannot be seen from the Earth. This is called the new moon night (Amavasya).
