Summary

Hey there, young explorers! Let's talk about our amazing friend in the sky - the moon! The moon is Earth's natural satellite, beaming down on us at night with its gentle glow. It takes about 27 days for the moon to orbit Earth and it has different phases like full moon, crescent, and new moon. Not only does the moon control our tides, but it's also the reason we have cool lunar eclipses! Let's learn more...

What Are Lunar Phases? Our Moon doesn't shine, it reflects sunlight. Just as it does in the daytime on Earth, sunlight illuminates the Moon's surface too. That is, the Moon has a day side and also a night side. And as the Moon orbits Earth each month, we do not have a continuous view of the entire side of the Moon that's facing the Sun. Most of the time, our view of the Moon looks toward part of the sunlit side and part of the dark side at the same time.
