The information that I am about to share with you is merely a sample of some of the wonders of the Universe. Many more facts, including detailed information on each planet in the solar system can be found in the book George's Secret Key To The Universe.
Our Moon
- A Moon is a natural satellite of a planet.
- A Satellite is an object that goes around a planet, like the Earth goes around the Sun, and natural means that it is not man-made.
- The average distance of the Moon from the Earth is 238,854 miles (384,399 kilometres).
- The Moon circles around the Earth in 27.3 days.
- There is no atmosphere on the Moon, so the sky there is black, even during the day.
