Our Moon By Cindy Grigg

---

¹     A moon is a satellite that goes around a planet. Some planets, like Mercury, do not have a moon. Some planets, like Jupiter, have many moons. Earth has one moon.
 
²     The moon is our nearest neighbor in space. It is smaller than the Earth. It is much smaller than the sun. It is much closer to the Earth than the sun is. The moon is about 239,000 miles away from Earth. The sun is 93 million miles away!
 
³     The moon goes around, or orbits, the Earth one time a month (about every 29 days). The moon looks different to us as it orbits the Earth. It seems to change its shape on different nights. This is called the moon's phases. The moon's phase depends on its position and the position of the sun. The moon goes through eight different phases each month.
