• Moon- any natural body that revolves around a planet.
- The moon revolves around the Earth
The Moon Continued…
• Crater- a low, bowl-shaped area on the surface of the moon.
• Many are millions, if not billions of years old because there is no erosion on the moon.
The Moon Continued…
• Similarities between the moon and Earth:– Both are rocky and fairly dense (thick / hard)– Both have many of the same elements like
aluminum, iron, and oxygen.– Both have craters!
The Moon Continued…
• Differences between the moon and Earth:– Moon is only about 1/4th the size of the Earth.– Moon’s pull of gravity is about 1/6th that of
Earth. (180lb person would weigh 30lbs.)– Moon has almost no atmosphere and no liquid
water.– Moon has temperatures from 212 degrees F to
–247 degrees F at night.– Moon has more craters.
