Now let us look about life in moon : Earth's Moon is dry, dusty and lifeless. There's no air to breathe or water to drink. During the day it's so hot that your blood would boil. At night it's freezing cold .
The Planet that has 3 Big Moons : Moons are rocky bodies that orbit planets. Jupiter has sixteen moons, and three of them - Ganymede, Callisto and Io - are larger than Earth's Moon. Mercury and Venus are the only planets that don't have moons. All the other planets have at least one
How did Astronauts Land in Moon : Apollo astronauts travelled to the Moon in a spacecraft made from three modules linked together. They lived in the cone-shaped Command Module. A Service Module supplied it with oxygen and electric power. Once they were in orbit around the Moon, two of the three astronauts moved into the Lunar Module. They separated it from the rest of the spacecraft and landed on the Moon
How moon Shines :
The moon isn't a ball of hot, glowing gas, like the sun. It's a ball of cold, hard rock. How can rock give off light ? The answer to that may surprise you. The moon is like a giant mirror. The light it sends to the earth is light that is reflected from the sun. The moon isn't really a very good mirror. It isn't a bit smooth and shiny. In fact, most of the rock on the moon is rough and dark grey. It doesn't really reflect much sunlight. But sunlight is so bright that even the tiny bit that is reflected from the moon makes the moon look like a glowing ball in our sky . Even earth itself is Mirror - It reflects some of the sunlight that falls on it. And it's a better mirror than the moon .
