10 cool facts about the amazing moon!

1. The moon looks like a big rock!

The moon is a huge rock that orbits around our planet Earth. It is so big that it is even bigger than Texas!

2. There is no air on the moon!

Imagine a place where you can't breathe because there is no air! This is exactly the case on the Moon. But don't worry, astronauts wear special suits to breathe and survive.

3. The moon is covered with craters!

A long time ago, asteroids and comets crashed into the Moon, leaving behind big holes called craters. They look like giant holes on the surface of the Moon!

4. There is no wind on the Moon!

On Earth, we can feel the wind fluttering our hair, but not on the Moon. That's because there is no air there, and there is no wind blowing!

5. The Moon has phases...like a mood ring!

As our mood changes, the Moon changes shape in the sky. It changes from full to new and back again. It's like a big mood ring in the sky!

6. The moon is very old.... Like a grandmother!

The moon is about 4.5 billion years old, which means it is even older than your grandparents!

7. The moon is moving away from us!

But don't worry, it hasn't gone anywhere yet. It is slowly moving away from us at a rate of about 1.5 inches (3.8 centimeters) every year.

8. There are people who have walked on the Moon!

A long time ago, brave astronauts named Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to set foot on the Moon. They even planted an American flag!

9. The Moon has water... sort of!

There's ice at the poles of the Moon, which means there might be water hidden beneath its surface!

10. We can see the Moon from anywhere on Earth!

As long as we're outside on a clear night, we can see our amazing Moon shining brightly in the sky.
