GridKids.id – Kids, in the previous GridKids article you were invited to know about an artificial satellite sent from Earth into outer space.
Well, this time you will be invited to get to know some interesting facts about the sole natural satellite of planet Earth who always illuminates dark nights when it’s sunny.
Apart from being satelit alami Bumithe moon also has several important roles for life on Earth, one of which determines the change of seasons on Earth.
Quoted from the page Space FactsThe moon was formed about 30-50 million years after the solar system was formed, while the earth was formed about 4.54 billion years ago.
This makes the birth and formation of the Earth with its satellites quite close.
There is a theory that is believed but is still being debated to this day that a collision event of a celestial body the size of Mars and Earth caused the formation of the Moon.
The explosion of the material left over from that event eventually formed the moon as a natural satellite of the moon.
The Moon’s gravity is smaller and weaker than Earth’s gravity, this is what makes our weight shrink when we are there.
This is why astronauts who go to the moon can be seen jumping or walking very lightly when on the surface of the moon.
Not only does it have a lower gravity than Earth’s gravity, the moon is known to have no atmosphere with a very weak magnetic field.
Next, you will be invited to find out some interesting facts about the Moon, the natural satellite of planet Earth. Anything, huh?
